You've been listening/watching the comedian Bill Hicks, haven't you? If not, you should, he asked the same question in one of his bits. Click the link below for the entire transcript. :-)
----------
But I actually asked this guy, "OK, dinosaur fossils-- how does that fit into your scheme of life? What's the deal?"
He goes: "God put those here to test our faith."
"I think God put you here to test my faith, dude. I think I've figured this out."
Does that-- That's what this guy said. Does that bother anyone here? The idea that God might be ****ing with our heads? Anyone have trouble sleeping restfully with that thought in their head? God's running around burying fossils: "Ho ho! We'll see who believes in me now, ha ha! I'm a prankster God. I am killing me, ho ho ho!"
You know? You die, you go to St. Peter:
"Did you believe in dinosaurs?"
"Well, yeah. There were fossils everywhere. (trapdoor opens) Aaaaarhhh!"
"You ****in' idiot! Flying lizards? You're a moron. God was ****in' with you!"
"It seemed so plausible, aaaaaahh!"
"Enjoy the lake of fire, ****er!"

this is a good question. i think the bible was written by man and we are not perfect, so their might be discrepancies in it. dinosaurs probably lived and DIED way before man came to earth, so why bother writing about them. at the time the bible was written we did not have the means to find fossils, so we didn't know about them. I have not heard of a man's skeleton being found with a dinosaur or during the time of the dinosaurs either, but i could be wrong.
there is this very interesting article about the bible and fossils, which says that according to the bible God created dinosaurs alongside man and it provides a pretty logical argument as well a pointing out certain verses in the bible to support it. this is the site: http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/2.asp

There are a lot of question that neither the evolution nor the creation addresses.
In regard to time, though many so called Christians tut the totally indefensible number of 6000, the Bible does not teach it, neither does the Bible limit the amount of time allocated per creative day! !!!!!!!!!!
The proof is not in the pudding but on this HP: http://www.bythebible.page.tl/
See the creation page: link shown next
http://bythebible.page.tl/Creation.htm
In regard to your old fossils, there is an HP that delves into this problem and what this page says is exhaustive and intoxicating:
See here for your fossils:

there is a lot to show that much archaeological evidence is withheld from the public because it doesn't fit into the accepted mold -- now what does that say for our scientific unbiasedness?

The fossils actually are evidence of a world wide flood. According to the Bible it all happend in about a years time. Many scientists study fossiles from this perspective and find it the most likely explanation.

No. Perfect knowledge the manner and timeline of the creation of the earth is not necessary to be a Christian. It is also not necessary to take the Genesis creation story literally in order to be a Christian.
If God did it exactly as written word for word, so be it. If we're wrong about our interpretation of Genesis, that's not a sin.

True. Did you think it a benevolent god? Ha, ha. Lots of tests, and fail any of them and it is everlasting hell for you. Ha, ha, ha. Who could possibly think that fear drives this religion?

yes, and rain is gods semen impregnating the earth. and the flying spaghetti monster is the mediator between god and satan. if either of them attacks the other directly, the spaghetti monster will kick the aggressor's ***.

Satan did that. He has a "fossil spreader" similar to a manure spreader.
