The KT extinction event might have been a global flood. This is the idea I am working on, it forms part of my hypothesis that the KT extinction was the last part of Noahs Flood.
But even if it was not Noahs Flood or Noah did not exist it looks to me like water killed all the creatures in the KT extinction event.

I am not sure if you caught this post I made:

Very very very interesting…**
Watery secret of the dinosaur death pose
Recreating the spectacular pose many dinosaurs adopted in death might involve following the simplest of instructions: just add water.
When palaeontologists are lucky enough to find a complete dinosaur skeleton – whether it be a tiny Sinosauropteryx or an enormous Apatosaurus – there’s a good chance it will be found with its head thrown backwards and its tail arched upwards – technically known as the opisthotonic death pose. No one is entirely sure why this posture is so common, but Alicia Cutler and colleagues from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, think it all comes down to a dip in the wet stuff.

Yes, but not in the sense that you might suspect. A myth is a cosmogonic story with deep religious meaning. Myths are not false, even if we are not meant to interpret them literally.

Yes, I did. I remember it. How can it be argued against. If only geologists would just stick to publishing complete evidence from the field as they see it instead of adjusting, compensating, abridging and selecting bits to fit a particular theory.I am not sure if you caught this post I made:

The word Dinosaur is fairly new and only came into use in the 1800’s. Prior to that the word used was dragon. This covered a range of large reptilian creatures, not just the traditional fire-breathing type of dragon.
Dragons have clearly lived alongside man throughout history and after the flood. No doubt the dragons were far larger prior to the flood which is why we see such colossal skeletons fossilised. The book of Job describes Leviathin and Behemoth which were types of dinosaurs. How did Job know about these creatures prior to the bones being dug up by scientists in the 1800’s?
The book of Daniel in the Catholic bible describes a dragon. The chinese have 11 real creatures in their zodiac plus the dragon. So why would they pick a mythical creature for their zodiak and not a real one? St. George killed a dragon. The Bible makes a number of references to dragons. Every culture and civilisation have paintings and inscriptions of dinosaurs, especially brontosaurus. I have seen depictions of these on Roman swords, aboriginal cave paintings, pottery from cultures all over the world. How did these people know about brontosaurus before scientists dug up their bones unless they saw them with their own eyes? Even today natives in the swamps of Africa relate stories of brontosaurus and have names for the creature. They can identify pictures of the creature. Of course nobody believes African natives.
So extensive is the evidence for dragons/dinosaurs/monsters living alongside man that there is an entire field of study for it called Crypto-zoology.
Clearly there has been an extinction of a number of dinosaur species over thousands of years due to the global flood, climate change, human hunting but that is no different from today.
In short there is no evidence for a mass extinction event 60 million years ago that killed all the dinosaurs. That is just a myth. The evidence that dinosaurs have lived with man throughout history and until this present day is overwhelming.

There is just as much evidence that the dinosaurs and dragons help pull Santa Claus’ sleigh at Christmas.

I don’t think anyone does though, but if you’ve found someone who has said that in print then by all means name and shame them.
Wouldn’t have thought so. Astronomers for instance.
I don’t know as they’ve much to do with it. The government website says most Swedes just don’t think religion is relevant rather than being anti. What it says about tradition might also apply to Spain:
According to studies, however, only one in ten Swedes thinks religion is important in daily life. In many ways religion plays a different role because many Swedish traditions have religious roots: Christmas, Fat Tuesday, Easter and All Saints Day, to name a few. Swedes are enthusiastic about tradition, so even if the origins of certain customs are forgotten, the customs themselves are still kept alive. - sweden.se/eng/Home/Society/Religion/

If that is the case then please provide evidence that dinosaurs pull Santa’s sleigh. I can provide case after case for the next one hundred posts of a vast array of accounts of dragons and dinosaur like creatures living amongst man.
http://www.genesispark.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ancient25.jpg This is the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina dated at 100BC, it depicts Nile scenes from Egypt all the way to Ethiopia.
Please provide your ancient depiction of dinosaurs pulling Santa’s sleigh.

But surely Godzilla was in a movie? Personally I much prefer Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman (original version), although I question the truth of two other classics (both mind-numbingly tedious): The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies, and Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.

As well as being a movie star, Godzilla also fights in the war against Christmas. He even has a cunning disguise:

You just gave me an hour’s entertainment. I followed the image back to its source page, and amongst other things found astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson in a “discussion about science, society, and the universe with Stephen Colbert, who is out of character, at the Kimberley Academy in Montclair, New Jersey”.
tonyrey - I think you’d find it interesting.

In contrast to your theory that dinosaurs lived in Egypt:

OK, here’s proof that a dinosaur encountered Santa, even if not through pulling the sleigh:

[11] In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened:
But are the ‘fountains of the great deep’ volcanic eruptions.
The volcanic eruptions which formed the Deccan Traps have left a million cubic kilometers of lava on the surface but it may have been 4 million cubic kilometers of lava. Those eruptions went on for about a million years right through the shorter period of the K-T extinctions.
[23] And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man even to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the air: and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in the ark.

Ermmm… Noah built his boat out of wood, not asbestos. A wooden boat may well have a few problems staying afloat on a sea of molten lava.
If you are going to try to mix myth and fact, then please be clear about which parts of the myth you are retaining and which parts you are rejecting.
