Now why on earth would so many extinct animals die in some sort of freak drowning event???

[SeekAndFind]

Live Science reported a nest of bird fossils from the dinosaur era that they say was buried in a local flash flood.  The article states, “the limestone block contains remarkably complete egg fossils, representing hundreds of eggs”.  Speaking of birds, PhysOrg reported evidence of a dinosaur that ate birds.  A fossil of Microraptor gui (depending on how one classifies this as a dinosaur) appears to have a small bird fossil in its stomach.  And what could it possibly mean that a giant long-necked titanosaur has been found in Antarctica?  See Live Science for details.

Flash floods aren’t ‘freak’. They happen all the time in some areas.

Many dinosaurs traveled in herds and crossed streams and rivers. If at flood stage, some animals would drown and be buried in silt. These would be the specimens most likely to be preserved as fossils. Multiply by millions of dinosaurs times the 165 million years dinosaurs existed as a dominant group on earth and that would pretty much explain why many of the fossils are found in that position.

Really, there are not that many dinosaur fossils found for the huge number that existed and for the length of time they dominated the earth.

Clearly they didn’t wait at least an hour after eating...

How many of each animal was on the ark? Where is the T-Rex of today?

Why? Why indeed! I suppose no university professor would have any idea why.

OTH I read an article about the almost universal prevalence of flood "mythology". Any clue?

I find the following Bible passage touching because God Himself speaks so humbly:

"And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth." (Genesis 9:12-16)

Is it not humbling to read the Lord Himself say, " . . . that I may remember . . . ". It that not redolent of what Jesus, the Christ, said, "This do in remembrance of me . . . ".
