Alberta Scientists Discover Largest-Ever Cache of Dinosaur Bones

Cryolithic writes "The largest cache of dinosaur bones ever found has been unearthed in Alberta. From the article: '... officials at the Royal Tyrrell Museum say the Hilda site provides the first solid evidence that some horned dinosaur herds were much larger than previously thought, with numbers comfortably in the high hundreds to low thousands. ... Rather than picturing the animals as drowning while crossing a river, a classic scenario that has been used to explain bonebed occurrences at many sites in Alberta, the research team interpreted the vast coastal landscape as being submerged during tropical storms or hurricanes. With no high ground to escape to, most of the members of the herd drowned in the rising coastal waters. Carcasses were deposited in clumps across kilometers of ancient landscape as floodwaters receded.'"

Re:They died in 'a' great flood, not The Great Flo

First, there's not enough water on Earth. So if it did occur, where did the other water go?

atmospheric escape? metal oxidation? ejection? Recent science says the moon's crust contains lots of water.

we don't see in the geological record evidence for a flood all at the same point in history

That's like saying WWII was not a global war because we saw no evidence of it in Ireland and Portugal.

we don't see any global die off that is closely connected to flood deposits

Um, the article is about the largest amount of evidence ever found!

So the upshot? I think there is plenty of validity to your facts. Enough to make me question mine, but your arguments require just as much faith as I already have. Don't be so hard on religion, You obviously believe in lot's of things you don't understand too.
