There is absolutely no doubt that the dinosaur fossils are evidence of the flood as in fact all the fossils over the earth are evidence of the flood. Such an event, causing rapid burial of intact creatures, is the only way the conditions for such preservation could have occurred. Some of the dinosaur beds show great numbers of them all piled up together as if washed into their grave by one great rush of water.
"Absolutely no doubt"? Er, have you ever heard of these people called "scientists"? They doubt it. That's what a lifetime of studying the facts will do for you.
For example, a
scientist (have you really not heard of them?) would be able to tell you that by no means all fossils are intact. They would be able to tell you that creatures are in fact buried in suitable conditions all the time; and that it is ridiculous beyond belief to suppose that this has happened only once in the history of the world. They would be able to tell you about fossils preserved in lava flows and volcanic ash; and of preservation by
dessication in deserts. They would be able to tell you about fossil strata which are laid down annually, such as fossils of rivermouth deposits. They could tell you the dates of the rocks and demonstrate that they were laid down millions or billions of years apart. They could tell you that different ecosystems are contained in different strata. For example, in the UK we have fossils of both tropical and Ice Age ecosystems. They could tell you about a fossil layer of 2200 feet of crinoid shells in North Dakota --- do you really suppose that they all lived and died at the same time? What do you suppose would happen to an unfossilized shell with 2200 feet of other shells on top of it? They could also tell you that the major victims of a flood are not usually fish.
So of course scientists "doubt" that all fossils are evidence of the Noachim Flood; in fact, they don't so much "doubt" this proposition as fall about laughing at how dumb it is.
Moreover, even creationists don't all agree on this topic.
Here's AiG: "Second, modern creationists think that the mammoths were
not fossilized by the Flood."
* (My italics.) They, therefore not only
doubt that "all the fossils over the earth are evidence of the flood", they also
flatly deny that creationists believe this. To take another case, the creationist Victor Pearce claims that fossils were made "in the beginning", in Genesis 1.
So not only do scientists "doubt", or let's be accurate, laugh to scorn, the proposition that "all the fossils over the earth are evidence of the flood", but creationists can't agree on it either: 'cos there is in fact no evidence for this proposition.
