A State veterinarian reporting to CAPS should examine the conditions of all animals regularly, all zoos & safaris, to help ensure that milling is very discouraged. If this were a legitimate zoo the death would have been known to the others. This was kept quiet..

Apparently radio carbon dating doesn't work reliably for submerged oceanic artifacts. So, there are exceptions or limits to the methods as currently employed. We've found evidence of pottery on many continents that indicate people were aware of the appearance of fully-fleshed "dinosaurs" and made art out of that knowledge. There are undoubtedly exceptions to every unprovable rule, but the existence of these animals is reality. Extinctions are debatable.

We also have proof of a great flood, in fact a series of them as glacial meltdowns caused a number of cities to be expediently wiped away. The tale of Noah is probably an older traditional that has been passed down culture to culture. It is also possible that an ark of this nature was in fact built, several times in several places as historically flooding was not confined to a single continent.

As for the creationism part - years from now when the public is more accepting of the possibility and even probability of genetic manipulation performed by non-terrestrials this myth might be put into a more cohesive context. Literalism is the bane of interpretation in this instance.
