First of all, fossils don’t come with labels telling you how old they are. So, what about radiometric dating methods; don’t they prove millions of years? Well, these are far from infallible—they are indirect methods based on quite a few assumptions, and evolutionary geologists themselves will often not accept a radiometric date unless they think it’s correct (i.e. it matches what they already believe). There are plenty of scientists who question their accuracy. For instance, the “RATE” project has discovered several striking examples of contradictions in these dating methods. If you want, you can get their book or movie called "Thousands...Not Billions" and learn about some of their remarkable results. If you do a bit of research, you will find that there is a lot of evidence of radiometric dating not being accurate (like dates of millions of years for lava flows that occurred in the past few hundred years or even decades).
OK, is there evidence of younger dates for dinosaur fossils? Oh yeah (these are easy to look up).
In 1990 a sample of various dinosaur bones were sent to the University of Arizona for a “blind” Carbon-14 dating procedure. “Blind” in the sense that they didn’t tell them what the bones were. The oldest date they got was 16 thousand years. That’s a far cry from the millions of years evolutionists suggest. If dinosaurs became extinct more than 65 million years ago, there should be no carbon-14 left in their bones. Evolutionist of course say the samples must have been contaminated.
In 1981, scientists identified unfossilized dinosaur bones which had been found in Alaska 20 years earlier.
Philip J. Currie (an evolutionist) wrote about this and some similar finds, “An even more spectacular example was found on the North Shore of Alaska, where many thousands of bones lack any significant degree of permineralization. The bones look and feel like old cow bones, and the discoverers of the site did not report it for twenty years because they assumed they were bison, not dinosaur, bones.”
As Dr. Margaret Helder has said, “How these bones could have remained in fresh condition for 70 million years is a perplexing question. One thing is certain: they were not preserved by cold. Everyone recognizes that the climate in these regions was much warmer during the time when the dinosaurs lived.”
In 1990, Scientists from the University of Montana found T. rex bones that were not totally fossilized and even found what appeared to be blood cells in them. Dr. Mary Schweitzer said, “It was exactly like looking at a slice of modern bone. But, of course, I couldn’t believe it. … The bones, after all, are 65 million years old. How could blood cells survive that long?” How indeed?
And then in 2005, they found an even greater discovery. Science Daily website said (March 25, 2005): “Dr. Mary Schweitzer . . . has succeeded in isolating soft tissue from the femur of a 68-million-year-old dinosaur. Not only is the tissue largely intact, it’s still transparent and pliable, and microscopic interior structures resembling blood vessels and even cells are still present.”
As Dr. David Menton said, “It certainly taxes one’s imagination to believe that soft tissue and cells could remain so relatively fresh in appearance for the tens of millions of years of supposed evolutionary history.” Wouldn’t that be a hit for the meat industry if we could figure out how to preserve meat for so long?
More than once, there have been fossilized human footprints found along with dinosaur footprints. As you know, the evolutionists just quickly dismiss the evidence or try to get it discredited. They have to—it doesn’t fit their paradigm.
In a copper mine in Moab, Utah, two human skeletons were found in Cretaceous sandstone (supposedly more than 65 million years old, back in the time of the dinosaurs). So what did they say? They must have fallen down to that level somehow or were recently buried there.
In 2005, there was an interesting report by the Associated Press: “Villagers digging in China’s rich fossil beds have uncovered the preserved remains of a tiny dinosaur in the belly of a mammal, a startling discovery for scientists who have long believed early mammals couldn’t possibly attack and eat a dinosaur.” It was a dog type of creature. Evolutionists had previously said that no advanced mammals lived during the time of the dinosaurs. But, the more we dig, the more this kind of stuff is found.
For decades, evolutionists taught that coelacanths (a type of fish) became extinct about the same time as the dinosaurs (65 million years ago). Because its fossils looked “prehistoric” and because of its large fins, scientists speculated that the large fins evolved into feet and that its descendants eventually walked out of the sea. That’s until Dec. 24, 1938 when a five foot long coelacanth was caught off the coast of S. Africa. Since then, over 100 of them have been caught and researchers have found that Indonesian fisherman had been selling coelacanths in their fish markets for years. Guess what, the coelacanths are still using their fins to swim, not walk. No fossils of coelacanths have ever been found in the same layers as human fossils, but they have been found in the same layers as dinosaur fossils—yet we know coelacanths and humans lived together, because they do today.
In 1994, the Wollemi pine tree was found in Australia (also said to have become extinct with the dinosaurs). Professor Carrick Chambers said, “The discovery is the equivalent of finding a small dinosaur still alive on Earth.” Before these were found, if you would have said, “I believe that coelacanths and humans or the wollemi pine tree and humans lived together,” they would have said you were nuts. Just because we don’t find fossils of certain creatures or plants together with humans in the fossil record, it doesn’t mean they didn’t live together.
With that line of reasoning, you can’t prove that man and Dodo birds lived together since their fossils are not found together. If human bones aren’t found buried with dinosaur bones, it simply means they weren’t buried together. It is pretty unlikely that humans and dinosaurs would live together for the most part (Would you choose to live near a large carnivorous dinosaur?).
Oh, and you have to account for the fact that most cultures throughout the world possess ancient stories about dragons and sea monsters that closely resemble what we today would call dinosaurs.

The creation museum is a bunch of hooey made up by a bunch of religious folks to justify their mythology. Dinosaurs did not exist at the time of Christ or anytime within several thousand years of that time. Dinosaurs were around millions of years ago.
Anyone who believes this creation museum needs to return to school for some real factual information.

i'm between the few who consider you and this is not any longer hidden interior the Bible that there develop right into a international right here in the previous Adam for Ephesians a million:4 says that God picked His believers in Christ in the previous the commencing place of the international meaning that God develop into waiting with a plan of salvation in the previous He created Adam. study Isaiah 14:12-18 and a couple of Peter 3:5. Genesis a million:2 says that darkness develop into already right here and with God this is His judgment that brings darkness. you could no longer deny the bones of dinosaurs, this is the earth of Adam this is 6000 yrs. previous. devil develop into kicked out of heaven in the previous Adam's creation and got here to earth, why might Isaiah 14:18 communicate of kingdoms and international locations after devil's being thrown out of Heaven? I additionally believe this and it suits into Scripture and does not replace a element we believed in the previous we observed this .

Many Christians support the existence of Dinosaurs, primarily, with a verse from the book of Job.
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.
Job 40:15-24
Now...if there was a GIANT monster that could crush me if it accidentally looked my way....I sure as HELL think I could come up with a better name for it than "behemoth." I don't know...something like Monster killer Death Lizard, or some such nonsense.

No, being a Christian I NEVER doubt God. Two things I always question about some people who believe in Creation.
(1) What was God doing before He created man? Twiddling His thumbs?
(2) Why do Christians so many times act like they fear death? It always praying for God to save a person from death, not, we understand, take them in peace.
But, this just me, and I am not afraid to die and I believe Dinosaurs were real. Not something Satan placed here to deceive people.

Evolution is based on a slew of assumptions from top to bottom. It would really be nice if 99.9% of humans (including most scientists) didn't have such a childish view of science.

Any christian reading this, I hate to burst you bubble, but the bible isn't a science book, that is like taking a "harry potter" book into literal terms and thinking there are magical people, it seems like christians force themselves into retardation.
