If land going animals were all created on the 6th day and they all drowned in the Great Flood, why don't we see their remains mixed together? [Spirituality & Religion]
How can you claim the flood actually happened when we don't see that? Now if you're even a half decent apologist then you're going to want to come at me with things like hydrological sorting, different environments and relative swimming abilities and i'll shut those down with facts pretty quick so maybe you have some novel arguments? Or at least novel approaches to those arguments.

@suzie1960 I find it really difficult to accept that some people believe that dinosaurs co-existed with humans. Perhaps they are all just pulling our legs? Having a bit of a joke? I certainly hope so!
@Bushranger I believe that's the method used by what @GodSpeed63 calls "true science". Ordinary (false?) science just amends Theories to take newly discovered evidence into account.
@Bushranger I think that belief might originate in a 1950's B&W Hollywood sci-fi movie: "One Million Years BC." In the film, Two tribes - one with pale hair and eyes, the other with dark hair and eyes - battle it out to survive in caves in an arid landscape full of dinosaurs, pterodactyls, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The science is all wrong but the special effects are surprisingly convincing considering how primitive the film technology was back then. As kids, many of us would have seen this film and the ideas it presented may have lodged in our unconscious memories, resurfacing to influence our beliefs. Of course, whether a person chooses to believe something or prefers to research the facts is often a matter of personality and degree of education.
@hartfire and don't forget Raquel Welch in a fur bikini, lol. But you may have a point. Media may influence people's perception of history. It certainly was a theme used by Orson Welles.
