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).

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


How do creationists say ice caps were formed?

Creationists believe that ice caps were formed through natural processes such as the post-Flood Ice Age, which is seen as a result of the catastrophic global flood described in the Bible. They attribute the formation of ice caps to a combination of volcanic activity, plate tectonics, and changing atmospheric conditions following the flood event.

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!

By the flood God sent.

When did dinsouars come after or during Christ?
