A couple things I am totally convinced of and you'll never change my mind. I have spent the last 40 years studying this.

1) What we see in nature and in humans is not the result of millions of happy little accidents. Especially the beginning of life springing from non-life. That's preposterous. There is evidence of design every where you look and design must have a designer.
2) The Earth as we know it is not as old as so called scientists want you to believe. There is plenty of science that backs up the age of the earth as we know it to be a lot younger than millions of years. There has to be a first man and woman, and I believe the description of the man and woman in the book of Genesis is as accurate depiction as the people who passed along the stories of creation could keep them, down through the eons before there were written languages. I also think the concept of original sin is important to the entire narrative of God's relationship to man through the ages.
3) There is so much evidence of a flood it's not even debatable. The ice age resulted from it, tectonic plate movement was involved with it. The entire climate of the earth changed with it, even people started living much shorter lives. The large reptiles couldn't survive the new climate because of the change in the Ozone layer. Throughout the middle east and even africa, aboriginal peoples have a story about a worldwide flood where their ancestors were saved by building a boat. Were there dinosaurs on the ark? It's actually a very plausible theory that young dinosaurs or eggs could have been saved. Either way, the things that happened to create the flood is a very explainable reason for the end of the dinosaurs.

So many scientists are stuck thinking that what they see today has always been slowly changing and you need millions of years to explain it away, so they throw out any scientific evidence that doesn't fit their preconceived beliefs. The history of the Earth is not the result of millions of years of slow change, it is the result of a series of cataclysmic events. When you realize that, the history of the Bible makes a lot more sense.

I don't know much and I admit I know a lot less than I used to think I did. But there are a small number of these cornerstones I am totally convinced of.

Does a God that has the power to have created everything as you stated have the ability to make his creation look older than it is to mankind?
Second question is the linage in the Bible from Adam to Jesus complete ossible in your opinion but welcome more clarification on your stance if u feel called
Why would God do that? Sounds like deception.

Did He not mask His identity from the two disciples on the road after the crucifixion?

SP94,
I'm not sure how anyone could doubt the existence of dinosaurs? There is simply too much fossil evidence...some being near complete skeletons.

some folks that believe in a young earth would say that because the Bible says humans lived several hundred years, then animals may have lived several hundred years, too, and that dinosaur fossils are just the fossils of lizards that grew big because they lived so long.
