By the modern evolutionist's definiton of dinosaurs you are correct.
All those dinosaurs were most likely destroyed in the flood, at least
those that lived on land. Anyway, dinosaurs are believed by modern
evolutionists to be extinct, that is, they no longer exist. We only
have their bones as proof they once existed on the earth.

How many people can you find who agree with you that a gila monster or a komodo dragon can correctly be classified as a dinosaur? Any at all?

What evidence (apart from scripture) do you have supporting a global flood within the last 10,000 years? What evidence do you have supporting the coexistence of human beings and dinosaurs?

Why do you suspend your critical faculties when dealing with scripture but automatically adopt a sceptical position regarding any data which disagrees with said scripture?

You didn't even read it, so how are you to know?

I am quite familiar with all of the cases pictured on the first page. They are rolled out by crackpots with monotonous regularity and all of them have been comprehensively refuted. I felt no need to delve further into what is clearly yet another lunatic fringe website.

You know, it would take much less effort from you to look at some reputable websites on the same subjects than it must take to uncover and sift through garbage sites like that one.

Behemoth is an elephant and his "tail" - which stiffens like a cedar tree and is associated with the animal's stones - points forwards.

An elephants tail is nothing like a stiff cedar tree.

The word dinosaur comes from the Greek, deinos, “fearful”, plus
sauros, “lizard”. I believe that word easily applies to a gila monster
since it has a fearsome reputation due to its venomous nature.

The Gila Monster i ...[text shortened]... nosaur) for one should be fearful of
being bitten by this reptile because his venom could kill.
Oh come on.

I live in Phoenix... you know, in the northern Sonoran desert.

Gila monsters are jokes. About the only thing you'll get from "a" gila monster bite is maybe tetanus from infection. The gila monster has grooves in it's teeth that the venom runs down into the wound it's making as it chews on you. The venom is not injected, like with a snake. If you're stupid enough to just sit/stand there and let the gila monster chew on you, then you deserve to get poisoned.

Plus it's not like the gila monster will "run" up to you, knock you down and poison you in one bite. They are pretty small (maybe the size of a real big burrito, or a skinny football at most) and slow. It's not like people run screaming from them. Not fearsome at all.

Edit: Okay, I see the article says "up to 22 inches". Good grief, that must be a record, I know I've never seen one nearly that big.

Why do you jump on me? I'm just trying to defend the Biblical view.
Why don't you try to help me instead of just being a critic against me?

Sorry to have to bust your bubble like that.
Your ignorant reply illustrates how far you have fallen from grace. Seriously, you should get down on your knees and pray more often - serious prayer.
BTW - what is your background/education? Do you know anything about biology/chemistry/computer science?
I don't dispute that a creator - call him/she (some would say "IT"😉 God if you will is "the" first cause but it's not a simple as you believe. I also believe in a God - but it is nothing I can prove from a scientific point of view.
