Scientists do not believe that the extinction of the dinosaurs was the result of a great flood. There are still a number of competing theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs although it is clear that there was a large meteor impact in the Yucatan region, which played a role. It may also be that rising carbon dioxide levels and ocean acidity played a role as well. It may be that there were a number of contributing factors, rather than just one single cause. But scientists do not think that flooding was involved. Note that some dinosaurs were aquatic, and would not have been killed by flooding since they already lived in the water.

Is it possible the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs has any connection with the existence of humans?
An asteroid did NOT destroy the dinosaurs. A flood did. Read the Bible. :) The flood was the one who killed the dinosaurs, but Noah took small dinosaurs (e.g lizards, crocodiles).
Was the extinction of dinosaurs caused by a comet crashing to earth?
no a dieses killed all the dinosaurs but we may never know if i am wrong or right No, The reason for their ending may be because of the Flood that happened in the Bible, If you look it up in Genesis you can read more.
Did dinosaurs exist during or after Noah's time?
This All depends on your personal Scientific views.An answer if you believe in an old earth would be:No, the dinosaurs all died about 65 million years ago. So they were long gone by the time of Noah. There's geologic evidence of a great worldwide flood sometime between 4000 B.C.E. and 2800 B.C.E. So Noah most likely lived at some point during that time period. As for evidence there is none really, we can't know.However if you believe in a young earth, an answer would be:Yes or no. The Bible says nothing of whether there were (or were not) dinosaurs on the ark. You can imagine that since the dinosaurs were so dangerous, men would group together and go kill them. They might have missed some though. You can conclude that since Noah got two (at least) of EVERY animal, then if there were some dinosaurs still left, Noah got them too. As for evidence, there is none on either party.Sources:http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2000/04/03/dinosaurs-on-noahs-arkhttp://www.earthage.org/youngearthev/evidence_for_a_young_earth.htmhttp://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v1/n1/world-born-4004-bc
What are some of the challenges scientists face in deciding whether or not to issue an alert for an active volcano?
some challenges scientists face are: when alerting the poeple they can be wrong and the poeple will not believe them sometimes, or when alerting them sometimes when people flood the scene then SOMETIMES when they get back they will be hit by the volcano, and last but not least; scienetists dont know when to evacuate the poeple sometimes they can be wrong by a few hourse sometimes they can be wrong by days or weeks, so those are some challenges scientists face while deciding whether to evacuate people when a volcano is about to erupt. :)
What is the geography in the Netherlands?
The Netherlands consists of two areas:Mostly below sea level. This is the low and flat land in the north and west which is highly sussceptible to flooding which makes up a total of two-thirds of its area. It is a land of dikes, polders, dams and floodgates dotted with the famous Dutch windmills. Much of the land has been reclaimed from the sea.The Higher lands (perhaps with a smirk and surely a smile) in the east and south and contains the foothills of the Ardennes mountains is still mostly flat and does have areas that are subject to flooding. Vaalserberg at 1,059 feet is the highest point of elevation.Historical Netherland floods include:The loss of 2,437 lives in 838.The 1014 flood which killed thousands.The All Saint flood of 1170.The Saint Nicholas flood of 1196.The Saint Marcellus flood of 1219 which killed 36,000.The Saint Lucia flood of 1287.Grote Mandrenke (The Great Killing of Men) in 1362 which killed 25,000.The Saint Elizabeth of 1404.The Christmas flood of 1717.The North Sea flood of 1953.Flood Control technology has increased and deaths have decreased.
How do scientists tie biblical creation in with the extinction of the dinosaurs?
Most scientists do not believe in Biblical Creation, so there is no reason to tie it with the extinction of dinosaurs. However, Creationists often say that humans originally co-existed alongside dinosaurs until the Great Flood, when dinosaurs all drowned.

If scientists were to find a large crater dated around the time of the dinosaurs what might it indicate about their extinction?
Many people actually believe that A large flood killed all of the dinosaurs, A large earthquake caused the crater that engulfed the dinosaurs, or A large volcanic eruption resulted in global climate change., but no. it was actually that of A large asteroid strike resulted in a massive explosion that altered plant life. It created an explosion so big that it basicly wipes out the entire species of dinosours!
How did real dinosaur die?
By the flood God sent. Real dinosaurs, not the Biblical ones are thought to have been killed by either an asteroid hitting the Earth or by long periods of volcanic eruptions that polluted the air, but no one really knows for sure. Any answer is just a theory. it is true that the dinosaurs died by the flood.
