But during the flood, it didn't just rain, there was water gushing, earth opening up and all sorts. So, it would have been rather like a washing machine, in a way: I could imagine that when it all subsided, the dinosaurs fell to the bottom first?

"I could imagine"
Exactly.
"Let's see how the evidence can be twisted to fit my preconceptions, ignoring the fact that a whole load of extra assumptions need to be generated and irrationally adhered to."
That means the same thing as those three words.
Take one flimsy boat, stick it in a world-sized washing machine, have the washing machine running non-stop for 40 days and nights...
(a) it doesn't explain why rocks are in distinct layers, with the same fossils found in their own layer.
(b) Some dinosaurs were as small as chickens. Some equally extinct mammals were twice the size of a hippo, so size has nothing to do with it.
"But during the flood, it didn't just rain, there was water gushing, earth opening up and all sorts. So, it would have been rather like a washing machine, in a way:"
So that's why we see absolutely no geological evidence for such a thing. Obviously an event like that wouldn't leave any evidence behind at all.
"I could imagine that when it all subsided, the dinosaurs fell to the bottom first?"
Uh, yeah. I don't think so.
Did the dinosaur pairs fall off the ark in the washing machine storm? Because unless they did, someone is lying here. Noah took animals on the ark two by two, with the intent that they could repopulate the earth with their kind after everything else was destroyed. Why didn't the dinosaurs he took multiply? Or, did he not take them at all, leaving them to fall to the bottom right away? And, if that is the case, why would Noah leave the dinosaurs behind?
Do you think that 40 days of rain could really do all that? And do you really think that 4,000 years ago, a rearrangement of sediment could place dinosaur bones SO low into the ground, and leave distinct rock layers? And if the rain effectively caused Super Erosion, how do we have any rocks today at all? We should be on continents of sand right now if the rain was THAT powerful.
Dinosaurs weren't around when Noah was supposedly alive.
Besides, if they were, they would've been on the arc; can you imagine how much shit Noah and friends would be scooping up every day?
Ahhh... A reference to "The Maytag Chronicles."
This can all be found, of course, in "The Holy Book of Appliances." Exegesis has shown that that the Dust Bowl, for example, is foretold in "The Gospel According to Hoover," and one can find an explanation for the Coriolis Effect in the "Song of my Blender."
Ummm.....
Lets take a little plastic boat and throw it in a washing machine. This is how you envision the ark?
I could imagine ...
"...dinosaurs fell to the bottom first" what the fuck does "fell" mean. What warped misunderstanding of basic physics have you used to determine that dinosaurs “fell first”. You do know that the fossils under the big dinosaurs are smaller dinosaurs, and then under them big reptiles, and under them smaller reptiles
..
"I could imagine that when it all subsided, the dinosaurs fell to the bottom first? "
And I could imagine a man wearing blue longjohns and a red cape can fly, but that doesn't mean it could happen. Watch the discovery channel where they have dead bison floating down a river in africa. Notice that floating=/= falling to the bottom.
Ending your logic with a ? and what is clearly a spontaneous guess does not do wonders for convincing your opponent.
And by the logic that they filtered by size, shouldn't large things like blue whales and elephants be further down even though they are considered recent? And shouldn't all the pre-Cambrian life that is very small be at the top?
You're going to have to explain, then, why smaller creatures like trolobites, worms and mollusks(sp?) end up in layers BELOW those where dinosaurs are found.
Either way, volume has little to do with where an object ends up after liquifaction; density does. In which case you'll still have to explain why jellyfish and sponges are found in the deepest layers of earth.
Oooo, Susan, it evaporated by the power of God! To Venus, I can imagine? After all, faith can't really exist where there's proof (except where there's proof to contradict your belief ... for example, if you have proof that God exists, you don't have faith anymore, and then HELLO SATAN). So it just goes to show

So much stupid...
But, the dinosaurs aren't at the bottom; there are numerous different fossils below them, of simpler, less evolved life-forms. And there are crocodile-like creatures to be found in-between the dinosaurs, and in all layers above them.
"I could imagine"
No shit.
Idiot.
"there was water gushing, earth opening up and all sorts"
And what does "earth opening up and all sorts" mean? "All sorts" of what, exactly?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
