If the major reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs is the Flood that Noah survived, then why did the aquatic dinosuars die? Many of them were as adapted, if not better adapted, than whales, which survived. A corollary question is why are there 3 (at least) distinct races of humans, since the only human survivors were Noah and his family. I can see the *remote* possibility of two races from that family, but not 3+!!!! (I am reminded of Gene Rodenberry's talk on the result of submitting the Bible to TV censors as a script. "...incestuous...recommend a fleet of arks, or possibly strong swimmers from other families...")
