Are dinosaur fossils evidence for the great Flood?

Answer 1

Such a great event as Noah's Flood would surely have left evidence to be found today. For instance, one would expect to find billions of dead creatures buried by water in mud and sand (now hardened to rock). And that is exactly what scientists do find around the world.

Thousands of dinosaur bones can be found where they were washed together by violent flood waters and buried under mud, sand and rock. Many of the animals were torn apart and their bones broken and jumbled-up. The muds and sands hardened like concrete to form the great layers of fossil rocks we find today.


Quick flood burial would be the only way that so many dinosaurs and other things could have become fossilized in the way scientists have found them. Animals and plants will fossilize only if they are buried quickly and deeply - before predators, decay and weather destroy them.

Answer 2

Well, yes and no. There were a number of great floods before Noah's flood, and there is evidence of this in Utah, where dinosaur and whale skeletons are deposited in the same area. Some think that was the result oceans sweeping across the land mass and depositing material there.

Answer 3

No, the great flood was the time of man and dinosaurs were around and long gone by at least a million years before man came in the picture. Sorry. But the mountains were underwater long before they rose out which explains fossils of fish on mountaintops.

Answer 4

Depends on which era in time your speaking of. There have been many mass extinctions in the past, at least 4 that I know of. All of them were caused by a sudden and massive environmental shift which caused plants and animals who were unable to change to the environment to die off. As for evidence of a great flood, highly unlikely. The closest thing to the great flood if you look at fossil records is the "Snowball Earth" theory in which the entire planet including the hotter tropic regions was in-cased in ice for a very very long time. As for the source of the great flood there is a problem with that happening, if you took all of the water on earth, even the water in animals, rocks, oceans, plants, and I meant EVERYTHING, it doesn't add up to enough water to cause a huge Noah like flood. It would take a supplement of water to fill in the rest like if you crashed Europa (a moon thought to be one large ocean) into Earth. Noah's Ark was more likely a massive regional flood.

Answer 5

the only time i've got ever considered that addressed by technique of a creationist, darling, became whilst a youthful nitwit earnestly certain me that the clarification at the back of this became relative bone-weight. curiously, dinosaur bones are consistently present day in a decrease geologic stratum than mammal bones because of the fact they're heavier and sank decrease interior the flood. as quickly as I referred to that some dinosaurs have been very tiny and a few mammals have been very super, and that did not clarify why a substantial may be above a small specimen like Sinosauropteryx, stratigraphically, he descended into specific pleading and obscure references to dinosaur sins. It became all very pathetic. that's the two unhappy and humorous that undesirable ronbo thinks he's refuted evolution and yet he did not make a single coherent think approximately his "answer."

Answer 6

the "great flood" as you call it has no scientific proof for its existance. There is evidence of a regional flood in that area at one time that could have been what is considered "the great flood" given the time frame a mass flood in the region would certainly have been considered as covering the earth as their knowledge of the earth was limited to only those societies known at the time. As far as fossil evidence found at higher elevations, you have to consider the geological makeup at the time. As time passed and plates shift the movement of land masses cause shift in elevations along with massive climate change, etc. etc.

Answer 7

I don't know if fossils are at all evidents of a great flood but the fossils really make things very hard not to believe that their was a great flood since some fossils was found in mountains that is far from any water surface. And the fact that they say that fossils are millions of years old are incorrect just of the fact of circular reasoning. The scientist say that they date the fossils by which earth layer they are found in (they say there is visible layers of ground and each layer is a certain amount of years old) but then if you ask them how they determine how old each layer is they say they date the layers by the type of fossils that is found in that layer. So they date the fossil by the layer and they layer by the fossil. If you take all the accurate and proven theories then you will get to the answer that the earth is not millions of years old but that the earth is roughly 4000 years old and there is also evidents that there is still dinosaurs alive.

But this is all just my opinion.

Answer 8

If what you refer to as the "great flood" is the deluge of the bible, there is the rundown on this: it never happened. According to the bible, it rained so as to cover the highest mountain. Mount Everest is 8848 m (29028 ft). The average depth of the oceans on this planet is 3720 m (12200 ft). So the deluge would have poured over TWICE as much water as we presently have in all the ocean? Preposterous. Where did that water go?
The deluge is supposed to have occured something like 5000 years ago; dinosaurs were wiped out 65 millions years ago.
There is place for science, and the bible ain't it.

Answer 9

The great Flood, are you referring to Noah. If that was so then, he would have had 2 of each of them on his boat (ark), and they would still be around. Dinosaurs pre-date Noah's Flood.

Answer 10

There was a great flood in Russia, evidence proves it. I do not believe they are evidance of that, but, they are evidence of a Ice age (Wolly Mammoth found in ice with food in its mouth) and of early earth.

Good Question though.
