Yes, Noah's flood explains the Grand Canyon and the change in the ecosystem so that dinosaurs died out and many other things that evolutionists are trying to explain with evolution. It also explains why there are fossilized dinosaur footprints next to human footprints that are the same age and other inconsistencies about the fact that humans and dinosaurs WERE on earth at the same time. We survived, they didn't.

Oh, c'mon now - surely you know better. The flood is an ancient story going back to the Sumerian tale of Gilgamesh which was a long time before Noah. The flood was more than likely a regionalized event just in that part of the world and since the people didn't know about anyplace else - that was the whole world. The dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid impact a long time before Gilgamesh and Noah.

A good many dinosaurs died during the flood (the asteroid theory is just "theory").
Water dinosaurs continued and even some flying - which may have been both aquatic and flying (its anybody's best guess) - as the Biblical record has mention of dinosaurs co-existing with man AFTER the flood.
Most likely what wiped out the remaining species of dinosaurs over the years is climate change - such as is partially responsible for killing off our current sea life (global warming). Actually a good many mammals are dying as a result.
Global warming verifies climate change kills off sea life because its happening in our day where it can be monitored. So Climate Change most likely killed the remaining dinosaurs during early Biblical times.
SIDE NOTE:
Obviously a few have survived but have remained hidden. I site Tv & Radio news reports (NOT TABLOIDS) of a Cesna aricraft sized bird sighted in Alaska by multiple witnesses and not in the same area on the same day. Hasnt been seen since.
The so called sighting so monsters like the Lochness Monster may or may not have merit, and is not dependant on our belief on others eyewitness testimony. The bird as mentioned was a fact.

we dont know. all of the scientific evidence points to the asteroid impact. very few if any animals survived.
that said however, the bible does mention the "leviathon" and most biblical scholars believe this refers to a rather large reptile.
science proves the existence of dinosaurs. in order to bring this into context with the bible, some believe that the books of the bible begin when God created man.
that could be when man was physically created from nothing, or even when God gave man (and not our common ancestor with the ape) intelligence.
there is much that is not explained in the bible, but that does not neccesarily contradict the bible either.
but to believe in evolution, you have to accept that a soup of primoridal ooze formed the first one-celled animal, and that came from the sea, to the land and became dinosaurs that hatched chickens at some point in time.
what a set of coincidences that was. the odds of this happening once are astronomical.
not to mention the second time when it had to happen all over again because the asteroid destroyed all life on earth as the hard core, secular science leads us to believe.

The dinosaurs died as a result of an asteroid impact, but not directly. After the impact the smaller animals and vegetation died off leaving them with little or no food. As a result they basically starved to death.

Why didn't Noah put two of each of those on the Ark? And the ones that swim, where did they go? and while Noah was at it couldn't he have left some of the nastier ones we have today off to. And how did he get two of each from all over the world so fast ? And after the flood did he put them all back where they came from? Put the Ark story up there with the other Fables

While the cause of extinction is still debated, Noah's flood would not be a candidate, since dinosaurs predated modern humanity by a significant period of time.
See the subsection "Extinction Theories" on the website below.

People came after dinosaurs. Therefore, the dinosaurs were long gone when Noah came around. All this acording to the bible, of course. Not that I believe in it.

The dinosaurs were already gone, they're not sure if they died from the ice age or what exactly. Noah's flood wasn't to wipe out dinosaurs, it was to wipe out evil.

Yes, they died in the great flood of Noah's day.
It's a far better explanation as a meteor because we have found that the dinosaurs aren't as "old" as we think.
One was found with soft tissue still on it and it's determined that given the situation of this found T-Rex, it must have been alive about 5000 years ago.
