So what did they need an ark for?

Fossilized foot marks left by a big meat-eater on a lake bed in northern Spain 125 million years ago provide strong evidence that at least some dinosaurs were good swimmers, scientists said on Thursday.

Dinosaurs ruled the land from about 230 million years ago to 65 million years ago. But how they did in the water has been less clear.

There were numerous huge, fully marine reptiles living at the same time, including the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, but they were not dinosaurs and in fact were only very distantly related to them.

Over and over Genesis 6 mentions terran and avian animals; marine animals noteworthy for their absence. Only good explanation is the logical one: They didn't need special care.

However, to me the dinosaur 'problem' solution lies elsewhere. (Again, this is true whether the bible is history or myth.) Don't know the answer, myself; I suppose I'll find out later. Happy
