Your claim about dinosaurs being on the Ark is rather intriguing. Though I believe that you failed to see several points.
Your remark about the Sahara Desert is inaccurate. It was actually a forest once, the trees copped down by the Romans for their own purposes, thusly creating the second largest desert in the world, quite by accident, and that was in more recent history. Also, I would like to note that flash-flood today are capable of wiping out many animals at one time, ever large beasts like a Giraffe could succumb to a flood of a much smaller proportion to the Biblical Flood.
It should be noted that floods appear quite regularly all over the world, killing, and effectively burying their victims. Fossils have and will result from such catastrophes. You fail to note that the fossil graveyards did not all happen at the same time as proven by carbon dating and the layers of the Earth.
Your hypothesis is intriguing, though somewhat shaky, especially when it comes down to things such as carbon-dating, AND the fact that, undoubtedly, there were floods in the world even before the Great Flood of the Bible washed the earth clean.
Also, floods are not the only causes of death and fossilization. Fossilizing just requires being buried quickly before the bones have the chance to decompose, this can be accomplished by a flood, as you propose, but also by landslides, avalanches, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes (which, in cases, can lead to all of the aforementioned).
I ask you to consider my case that, though I admit some MAY have died in the flood, not all did, nor is the family Dinosauria as young as you propose. I'll wait for your response.
Sincerely,
Kunst
And now I sound something of a Heretic, GO ME! Ooo, fever, hot, headache, but it was worth the pain!
