Lobsters, crabs, and tube worms all apparently survived Noah's flood, but Trilobites, which were obviously far more numerous (plenty of fossil evidence) didn't. How did stationary tube worms escape god's wrath when mobile and numerically superior trilobites were all buried?

Papa Bear, what exactly does your rant have to do with my question?

Oh dear - trying to mix science and religion again. Trilobites are hard fact. The Bible is based on a book without scientific basis and with little supporting evidence.
Whilst there have been many floods in different parts of the world and sea levels have risen and fallen it is an accepted scientific fact that there has always been significant land mass clear of the seas.
Just where was the supposed biblical flood? The best science and geology seems to be able to come up with is that it related to the day the mediteranean burst through and innundated the dead sea.
Trilobites are a world wide phenomena. It is generally accepted that they died out over thousands of years. It can even be shown that the dinosaurs died out over thousands of years and not in the blink of an eye.
First find and prove your flood. Or perhaps just totally believe the bible but please do not mix the two. Good scientists have an open mind seeking the truth both for and against. Sadly Christians always seek to prove the bible right with deaf ears to science.

How do you know they didn't? Have you explored all of the sea floor?
As for evidence of Evolution, consider that Radiographic dating is still consider an theory without any empirical evidence to back it up. It can only date things older than 1 million years. As for the so called missing links, I think we will one day learn that they are the skulls of the children of the fallen angels. The were large and consider almost like animals. Their fathers were beings who base form was intelligent energy. I can only imagine what this would do to not only the genetic bonding, but also to the very nature of them at the atomic level.
As for the best example of whether evolution from a lower form of species is possible, I give you the Human Brain.
Studies, like that done by the University of Michigan, and features in the Discovery Channel program, The Amazing Life of the Human Brain, shows just how amazing the human brain is.
Every second while awake, we are absorbing 40MBs of data per second. That’s 144 gigabytes per hour and about 2 terabytes per day. That’s a lot of data even for the largest computer. When we sleep at night, and only at night or under nighttime conditions, all that data is sorted and stored through the creation of synaptic connectors and biochemical bounds. The brain has enough volume to allow for the creation of these storage connectors to last over 10,000 years.
Without the need of a creator, what evolutionary pressure could cause the need for this much volume that would take that long to fill? Clearly, man was either created by God to live that long, or if evolve, once lived that long, and has since de-evolved to what we are today. Which do you think it is?
Evolution does take place, in that animals have evolved and humans have de-evolved since the time of the creation. Many divergent species are related, such as the Meerkat/Hyena and the Lion/House cat. A house cat can breed with a lion, I wonder if the same is possible the Hyena and Meerkat?
This is why I believe in God. I use the brain he gave me, and designed for me, to determine something beyond imagining.

Maybe they did, but went extinct later (or earlier). Why did every extinct species have to get killed by a single cause?
How come the asteroid that killed off the dinosours didn't wipe out the frogs? Frogs tend to be fairly sensitive to enviromental changes; you would think that acid rain from asteroid dust would have wiped them out (like human pollution is now).
Don't have all of the answers? Does saying "I don't know" make your beliefs any less valid?

Apparently at least one did or how would we know they ever existed.??? If they existed in the first place.
God through his infinite powers saved the animals (that he chose to) and the only 8 people who were righteous. God shut the mighty door of the ark.
In deut. 29:29 We are told that the secret things belong to God.
If God did not have it written in his inspired word it is not important for us to question his power!

LOL, I love this question! Seriously, do you really believe that a Flood happened?

Ugh... Another Evolution question that will be pondered and rejected by the creationist groups.
I know- maybe they just didn't have enough faith...

Do you expect them to even know what a trilobite is?????????
