But these were stories from people all around the world, not just a localized area. I'm sure there were other floods during the years but these weren't recorded in the same way. This one was catalysmic according to peoples all around the world.

If we follow the timetable established by usher's literal reading of the bible, the "global" flood happened around 2000 BC. Can you explain why the civilizations which were extant at the time and left good record behind failed to notice the world being covered in 30,000 feet of water?

Actually there isn't any. This was well established more than a century ago.

There is plenty of evidence for local floods that might have seemed cataclysmic to the stone age civilizations that passed them down orally over the centuries. My personal belief is that the black sea, which was originally a freshwater lake but joined in the ocean in what must have been a major flood, is probably the origin of the middle eastern flood myths.

Ok, what about the flood stories from Australia and North-America?

A meteor impact killed the dinosaurs. It is well documented.

Opinions are documented true, but I haven't seen or heard of any hard evidence of that.

I'm not talking about "opinions". I'm talking about what the entire geological community has discovered over the last two centuries since the scientific method was applied to the study of the ground beneath our feet. The hard evidence is well documented, somehow I dont think you've been looking too hard for it.

What kind of question is that?
I'm making the point that they don't know for sure what they believe happened millions and millions of years ago.

But there are people who were around only a few thousand years ago who can know.

Dinosaurs are real, but they may not be mere animals as we have been led to believe. Genesis never made mentions of dinosaurs, but what is mentioned is the baffling hard to swallow chapter 6. Look into the fallen angels and the nephilims and you may find your answers to understanding what dinosaurs may in fact really be.

How do we know what happened last week? Maybe god created the universe just now with the appearance of age and our memories are fakes?

As I noted above, the people who were around at the time the flood supposedly happened didn't seem to notice the flood, which, geological strata and limestone deposits aside, seems pretty convincing evidence that it didn't happen like the old testament says.

I just finished reading the link you supplied. My opinion is that you're looking too hard for an answer and are willing to settle for whatever a few may be conjecturing.

I can't really take you seriously if you act immature.

The big bang theory isn't even regarded as a fesable theory by evolutionists now a days, just to let you know. Creation theory is just as, if not more laughable than evolution. The thing is, evolution has hard evidence backing it up, while creation theory does not.
So why is the universe still expanding at an accelerated rate if there was no begining? Where's the action that caused the reaction? There must be a reason the universe expands at the rate it does. Hard evidence or theory?
Also, time is relative to mass and speed. Anything is possible when the mass of a universe is exploded into being. Millions of years could easily have passed then in what we call a day now because of the mass and speed envolved. Dinosaurs could have also een animals alive when the dimensions of time and eternity came together in the garden of Eden. Since we don't know the ramifications and physics of timelessness well enough to actually speculate on what could have been during that brief or long period ?? the possibilities are endless.
Facts that men come up with change every year. That is what I have noticed after subscribing to scientific journals for many years. What is so-called solid evidence one year is questional the next with men. What is true is that they often defend what they desire to believe despite any facts or possibilities, and thus narrowing their view to fit what strokes pride and ego. One thing is for sure. It goes against the grain of man to bow the knee to God even though man cannot create even what they would call a simple single cell of life. Men do not have the power to walk between the dimensions of time and eternity, although they can measure and make formulaes proving the existence of many more dimensions than we see.
It is the Bible that first stated the circle of the earth and that all things seen are made of the unseen, but men in their pride still claim to have all the answers to life but cannot make it happen.
Time is relative to the will of God, and Dinosaurs do the same as the stars in the sky, showing His glory. Even the density of stars is critical to the life sustained here on this one little planet to what some scientists conjecture, but others will come from the other side and, I suppose it will always be that way with men. their theories, and their bones.

Ok, I have heard some christians do not believe in dinosaurs because it conflicts with the creation story or something to that nature and they think the countless fossils, bones and other hard evidence was either put there by Satan to decieve people (LOL) or put there by man himself.

So my question to those Christians who do not believe that they were real, how can you back this belief up when there is so much evidence stacked against you?

Actually, in Job 41 there is a creature described which appears to be some type of dinosaur!!!!

Really? Which type of fire breathing dinosaur would that be? It could just as likely be describing a frog. After all, they don't breathe fire either.

Evolution has no explaination as to why the dinosaurs died out; only disputable theories.

A world-wide flood would be be able to kill off these giant creatures.

Dinosaurs help the validity of the Bible.

No, no they don't. It was many things that made the dinosaurs die out. A pandemic is also a likely cause.

Well, there are a lot of other civilizations that had similar stories of a major flood around the same time.....Even though this site calls them myths, the fact that there is so many testimonies to it it makes one wonder.

It makes me wonder too. They were all supposed to have drowned, the little scamps.

I think you need to brush up a little on what the party line is on this one.
