Of course, it is hard to keep up with all the possible threads here. And you are entitled to pick those that interest you.
It is, in general, amusing that very few seem to have the time to take on such a core issue and they all give up rather quickly. As I noted it is such a basic issue to the argument that you'd think it would be more interesting to deal with. In fact, even in the creationist camp the issue splits the OEC'ers from the YEC'ers so it is obviously more important than just how dinosaurs should be classified or I would think so anyway.
I've seen enough examples here to think that there may be a general tendancy among the literalists. I agree that it is not a large enough sample to count as real "research" on their attitudes or capabilities.
If by research you mean on the dating questions then you are mistaken. It is possible I know the creationist arguements better than you do.
