Only if the Bible points me in the right direction first.Funny that you have to add stuff that isn't in the Bible though...
Wait, do what now?

Well, finding an large enough impact crater with all the expected widespread effects, enough to cause an extinction event, weighs heavily on the situation.It's nice to blame things on asteroids, but this "asteroid-did-it" thing as pertaining to the dinosaurs is a bit much.
ASSUMING this is an impact crater etc etc, what makes you think it was powerful enough to render the Bible inaccurate?Well, finding an large enough impact crater with all the expected widespread effects, enough to cause an extinction event, weighs heavily on the situation.
Some interpret a super brief statement made in Genesis 6 as referring to "giants", and in some cases it gets even weirder than that in the imaginations of some. Genesis 6 very briefly mentions "nephilim were on the earth in those days" when the "sons of God" and "daughters of men" married, giving rise to "heroes of old, men of renown."
In my experience, creationists will either:Personally, I'm a Doctor Who fan, so I like the idea of a superdimensional ark ferrying many thousands of animals around. God makes a mess of the planet, cleans it all up so that it looks like nothing happened, it's all good. I'm unclear how the populations would spread back over the Earth in the available time, but God could fix that up too. No big deal.
Back on the topic, though, we've got an apparent asteroid strike in the distant past, with dinosaurs showing up in the strata before the impact, but not after the impact. I'm left wondering if that can factor at all into the Biblical version of things, or if there is an unresolvable conflict.
I'll go with 2.In my experience, creationists will either:
1) Say the asteroid impact didn’t happen.
2)Say it did, but deny that it would have as big an effect as it did.
3) Say it happened during the flood.

Why did any survive?

On an unrelated note, may I ask why you often sign off with "CryptoLutheran"? Is not that a pejorative term used within Calvinist circles?
Never heard it used that way, though I've heard of Crypto-Calvinists in Lutheran circles, so I suppose that makes sense.. My name on this forum when I first joined, almost a decade ago, was CryptoLutheran. I lost my contact info about a year after that, so I had to make a new account (2011ish?). I chose my current name, ViaCrucis when I did. In order to let people know I was still me, I continued to sign off as CryptoLutheran.
As for why I originally chose CryptoLutheran, I was raised Evangelical/Pentecostal, and in my late teen years and into my early 20's I went through a major period of religious investigation and introspection as to what I believe. The short of that is I ended up finding myself drawn to the Lutheran tradition, but I didn't fully commit to becoming Lutheran for several more years. I was also concerned with how friends and family would act, and so I saw myself something as a hidden Lutheran within Evangelicalism, or a crypto-Lutheran.
That is no longer the case, but the name has stuck, and at this point signing off on my posts the way I do has become an old habit.

Then YOU tell us what a kind is.It could just mean "kind", like it says. You're the one saying that kind doesn't mean kind.

I've already explained floating veggie mats. Spirit lake was just one example. Climb out of your box.They live on land, not in the water. They can't survive an extended period in water.
Then YOU tell us what a kind is.
I find it Kinda interesting that some of the posters here have a christian denomination below their name and they deny the Bible. They say science has disproven the Bible.....then the same "christians" want to believe a dead man rose from the grave on day despite science say's that's impossible.I believe it because I'm a Bible fan.
The I guess it's settled.He did... sort or type. As in “I don’t like that kind of music”
It’s a common enough word.
