Dinosaurs in the Flood: A Response

Abstract

A response to Steven Robinson's criticism of my dinosaur extinction article is presented. Topics include the death of the dinosaurs in Noah's Flood; the possible fate of juvenile dinosaurs; dinosaur tracks; dinosaur eggs, nests and the number of horizons; and dinosaur graveyards. Since Robinson's critique stems from his belief in a pre-Permian Flood/post-Flood boundary, a number of brief criticisms to that model are offered. A response to the four main criticisms that Robinson presents on the Whitcomb/Morris Flood model are provided, suggesting that he has not given these and other so-called fatal contradictions enough thought. It is questioned whether the geological column can be used as an exact chronology of the Flood. That the 'Tertiary' is very diachronous within and after the Flood is demonstrated. It is questioned whether we know the pre-Flood geography, and whether we should uncritically accept uniformitarian palaeoenvironmental designations, ancient sea-levels, transgressions and regressions. Finally, the gigantic post-Flood catastrophism that is necessary in the pre-Permian model is questioned.
