A site found several dinosaur footprints all going the same direction. So of course the consensus at creation.com is ...All right Mr. Episcopalean, when are you gonna mention they were all killed by a global flood?
Here's how the creation scientists write their findings (from the Utah one 08/03/21)
"
T. rex dinosaur relatives found buried together
Were these Tyrannosauridae social creatures?
...
The researchers explain that catastrophes can drive animals together which normally prefer to be on their own. They cite droughts (the need to search for water) and fire (the need to avoid the flames) as examples. In neither case do animals necessarily congregate. Droughts and fire may very well disperse animals, but even when they do come together (where there is water or no flames, respectively) those animals would not be the ones that die—rather, they are the ones that live! Only animals that already behave socially would search for water together or flee from flames together.
What about a flood?
Indeed, fleeing from surging waters should be added to the list, and actually seems a more natural explanation for the fossil find. Land-dwelling creatures will naturally avoid being caught in a torrent of violently approaching water, and systematically run in the opposite direction. CMI has written a number of times on dinosaur stampedes.3 The resultant dinosaur trackways share common features: footprints of multiple dinosaurs together moving in the same direction."
Social dinosaurs lived and died together?
Teratophoneus dinosaur fossils catastrophically buried together in Noah’s global Flood.creation.com
So yes, we agree, a flood is the best explanation for the fossilized Teratophoneus dinosaurs. Not just any flood, but the biblical Flood that engulfed the whole world.
That is dripping with bias conformation.
