First, have you read the dimensions of the ark? It was as tall as a three story building, over 400 feet long.

Second, the young dinosaurs (ones needed for reproduction after the flood) wouldn’t have been the largest dinosaurs.

Third, not every dinosaur that was ever found fossilized would have needed two representatives on the ark. Only each kind of dinosaur. I believe we have had the discussion of kinds before.
From what I have read, there were possibly about 55 different kinds of dinosaurs. Lots of dinosaurs that are of the same kind and possibly even the same species are named differently (example ceratopsian dinosaurs would have only needed two dinosaurs representatives).
Mistakes can be made when naming a new dinosaur. (think brontosaurus).

IOW, not as many dinosaurs needed to be taken on the ark as you think and the ones that did need to be taken on would need to be young (smaller) and fertile. Also, not all dinosaurs were gigantic, some were small like sheep and even chickens.

It is preposterous to me to think that they were denied a ride because God commanded Noah to take ALL the land dwelling animals.

Also thanks for the civil discourse without insults. I have always enjoyed talking to you. I realize that you think my ideas are nuts but I don’t believe you have ever treated me like a nut. :)

Tell me, since the opossum is indigenous to north America, the kangaroo to australia, panda bear to china and thousands of other animals not found anywhere near where the ark was built, how did they survive/and/or get on the ark??I said thousands, more like tens of thousands.Or did they evolve from the few hundred animals that Noah loaded on board.

"Also thanks for the civil discourse without insults."

No, thank you. We don't have to agree that the account is literal or allegorical, only that it conveys the Word of God.
