Scientists do not tell us dinosaurs existed because we can just as easy find a fossil in the backyard that proves they did. Scientists do not tell us species in the world, as that is just as easily be verified by anyone with free time and money to travel. Evidence is evidence regardless. That sounds like pulling strings at an argument that is irrelevant.
Nowhere. But why don't you tell me how did it happen.
I guess the best you can say is that it did not happen.
That is not an argument.

But it is a good conclusion, from the facts. Creating new stories and inserting them into scripture is a bad idea.

Don't know exactly. But I'm not going to confabulate stories and pretend I know.
Or that it seems to have happened, but maybe the way some people imagined it to have happened is clearly impossible.

So, based on currently living species, we looking at at least 110,000 animals sharing no more than 101,250 sq. feet of floor space and no more than 1.5 million cubic feet of total volume. For this to be feasible, the average animal would need no more than 1 sq. foot of floor space and no more than 13 cubic feet of volume to survive 150 days. Now, adding to this that many YECs believe that dinosaurs and humans coexisted until recently, the space on the ark becomes even more cramped, because if this is true, in addition to the animals already mentioned, we would now need to make room for two of every dinosaur, many of which were quite large considerably more than 1 sq. foot.
2Pet 1:16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.What is wrong to say that angels did it? It is the same as saying God does it, but with a next level mechanism. I can't say it is true, but you can't say it is false either. If so, and if I like to suggest that, what is wrong?Show me where scripture says that. We should not invent miracles to clear up problems with beliefs.

1Cor 15:14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
Although the bible is quite keen on miracles, it does not seem to be in favour of making them up.
You mean cleverly devised myths and misrepresenting God are alright as long as it is not about the Gospel or Jesus Christ? If you make up miracles that have no basis in the bible, how is that not making up myths and misrepresenting God?My interpretation about how did animals get to the Ark has nothing to do with the Lord Jesus and the Gospel, and I am not making or enriching any myth. Since the Bible does not record most of the processes happened in the Genesis, I am simply trying to fill in the blank. It could be wrong, but until then, I think it could be right.2Pet 1:16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

I appreciate the fact you realise your explanation is tentative and could be wrong, many of your fellow Creationists are not so wise or restrained. But you still see yourself filling in blanks in the biblical account, on the basis God must have done something to fill the blanks in. The problem is these blanks are simply in your interpretation of the biblical account and God had no obligation to sort those problems out. For example, if the flood was local the problem of accommodating all the species in the world disappears. So does getting rid of all the water, it can simply recede, as the biblical account says, when God sent the wind.
