I will never and have never EVER made any claim as to the validity or non-validity of creationism....will never say it's "wrong" in any manner
Note: I don't discount the notion of the Great Flood...but I WILL make someone think through the notion that all the dinosaurs died during the Great Flood......that Man walked the Earth at the same time as the dinosaurs......
.....that's not a "Creationist" belief....that's a YECreationist belief that even Creationists scoff at here on FR.
The dichotomy exists, whether you choose to see it or not. Can't have all the dinosaurs die in the Flood if God ordered Noah to gather up a pair of EVERY animal, beast, creepy-crawlie on the Earth and Noah gathered......no dinosaurs. They can't exist (to die in the Flood) and not exist (to not be gathered) at the same time.
I know Noah did as God told him.....says so right there in Genesis 6:22 that "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."
Spare me the psychoanalysis...
Only if you spare me your exegesis.
“The dichotomy exists, whether you choose to see it or not.

The command was two's and seven's of every KIND. IF dinosaurs were alive at the time only members of the dinosaur KIND would have been taken into the Ark.
So no need to take huge dinosaurs aboard if members of their KIND were available.
