"That said, given their premise, don't you think it's possible they would have taken juveniles on board rather than full-size adults for many of the larger animals? "

Sure. Juveniles. That works.

Of course, I'm not entirely sure how Noah and his boys wrested control of these multi-ton juveniles from the protection of their enormous parents. And, I'm also curious how Noah collected these juveniles from the only place on the planet they existed, the Southern Gulf States of the (as yet) discovered new continent of America, and transported them back across the ocean without falling off the face of the flat-earth.

Other than that, yes I think "juvenile" dinos are completely rational.

Yeah, it does. But that doesn't fit your agenda.

Haven't you ever seen "The Dog Whisperer?" Same technique. I think you do the "hook 'em horns" pointing the finger and thumb at the animal, and then stare into the eyes of the dino. They then follow like puppies.

The biggest question never answered was which of Noah's sons had to shovel out the bottom floor? I would think dino dung would need a skiploader!

The scriptural inference is that the animals came to Noah, not that Noah went out and rounded them up. Look at Genesis 6 - 19 and following.

19. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.

"Noah and his boys" wouldn't have to wrest them from their parents. Even, in this day and age we see animals behaving strangely just prior to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis. So it is not entirely inconceivable that they would've acted similarly in those days. Most folks concept of of God is way too small, even folks that consider themselves to be Christians. We tend to put God in a box, and place the same physical, spiritual, and mental limitations on Him that we ourselves experience, and in some cases we think we know better. If God is God, then He can work outside of our limitations, even the perceived limitations that we place on Him. If sovereign God wanted the dinosaurs on the ark, they would have been there, regardless of what our "superior intellect" tells us.

More than likely that there as only one continent before the flood. See hydroplate theory which connects more dots and makes more sense than plate techtonics.
