on the inside cover of the PLPR book you speak of there is a seaserpent, some type of sauropod, and a pterodactyl illustrated along with some bible chars which would have certainly indicated to me that the dinos died off at the flood
Ah yes, that's the one I'm thinking of. I couldn't remember what it looked like exactly. Thanks for the info, I thought I might have imagined it when I was a kid.
Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some kinds of dinosaurs bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to lizards (sauros is, in fact, the Greek word for "lizard"; saura in Leviticus 11:29, LXX). Not all types of dinosaurs were of such gigantic size. Hence, even if they had survived till the Flood, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark
That answer shows plain ignorance. It assumes all dinosuars were of the same species and genus. It's like saying sheep are the same as cows or lions are the same as tigers.
