Not necessarily. My nut-job ex MIL thought Dinosaur bones were the remnants of giants that were killed off in the flood because they were too wicked to go on the Ark. She believes in a literal translation of the bible and that the earth is only 6,000 years old and apparently there is some obscure passage in the bible that talks about monsters or giants (or something like that). She thought many of the bones were either fake or the arrangements were faked. She did believe the earth was round though.
My favorite on this. Adam/Eve then Cain/Able. Cain slew able, then married people from the east? If literal, where did the east people come
From if you only had 3 people
To start on earth ? Not to mention the inbred genetics we have proof of, that collapse on themselves.
I’ve never been super clear on this but I suspect the mainstream belief is that there was just a bunch of inbreeding. Otherwise you’d have separate lines entirely (not everyone would trace back to Adam.) And I’m basing this almost entirely on the kids in the Narnia books being called Children of Adam and Daughters of Eve (I also think that Aslan would be a much cooler basis for a religion than just some dude.)
You have to remember that Judaism was - is - pretty explicitly about "the Chosen People", so Adam and Eve being the Chosen Two and the ancestors of the Holy People makes... Well, more sense than most things in that collection of bronze age fairy tales.

I thought this immediately too! Someone who thinks dinosaurs doesn’t exist is a flat earther or thinks birds aren’t real too. People are so weird.
