As a creationist I will give this opinion...
Look at the size of eggs of the dinosaurs that we have found in the fossil record.. and the baby dinosaurs.. now I certainly believe that Noah took them either by the egg or by the baby.. which would totally work out.. come on the math would even work...
If you look at the amber deposits we have found that have air locked within, the oxygen level in those deposist are 30% higher than we currently have.. to me that states that air was more pure at that time(preflood), hence the reason why they have small lung capacities..
Have you heard about the Ica Stones found in Peru? If not than I recommend you searching them out and giving them a good read... ancient stone carvings of dinosaurs... not uncovered till current times.. come on.. look at the legends all over earth concerning "dragons", seeing that the word dinosaur did not even exist prior to the 1800s I am led to ask what would mankind have called dinosaurs prior to that? Dragons is a very good description.. What about the lockness monster?
What about the reported sightings even up to the 1600s and beyond of terradactuls and other dinos?
We need to take our head out of the texts and evaluate the truth of of the legends that are out there...
Now biblically I believe dinos are in Genesis chapter 6 verse 4... My reasoning for believing that these "Nephilim" are dinosaurs as as follows;
the meaning of Nephilim is something along the lines of the fallen ones.. well who are the fallen ones? the serpent in the garden rings in my ears to this.. in the same verse it talks of the children of God comeing down and essentially having sex with the daughters of men.. this makes me think of the supposed "common ancestor" of man and apes.. the neanderthals and the other bones... they obviously would have similarities to humans but there would be definitie physical differences between them and us... the verse goes on to say that these children were mighty men, men of reknown... well this to me rings a bell of Dragon Slayers and the like(again to appreciate this we must give some credit to the great legends past down through time)... and we must know that there would be active legends past down from Noahs sons and even the evil practices talked about in the next verses, because his sons were not righteous.. it was Noah credited with righteousness but that is another story.
Are there any studies that conclude the age ranges of the dinosaurs? as how old the average of them were when they died? what is the longest living one?
Is it not interesting to that it only takes a decade to make a fossil?

well for one thing.. I have never realy read any Hovind articles.
Correct a fool and he will hate you, correct a wise man and he will love you.
The begininning of knowledge is the fear of the Lord, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

With your last statement I see hope in you yet.
If you are interested in seeing what I believe love to be than look up 1 Corinthians 13:4 to 8
and compare it with 1 John 4:8
I recommend you read the whole chapter of 13 and give it a serious thought session.

Than I will take that as a challenge... It is my duty to pray for this man than that his attitude changes.

About the Ica Stones.. Are there tests able to be done that can identify when these stones were carved?
If they are real than obviously some people would try and counterfeit them just like money.. great for tourist trade...
It is just like many of bones in museums are only replicas of the true thing.. So I do not think the Ica Stones can be dismissed as of yet.
And the math of the ark says that 125,000 sheep sized creatures could fit into it.. yet we only have..what.. 18,000 or so identified land animals as of yet.. if any of the creatures that were born from an egg where brought on as eggs they would not need food, and if they were younger like babies than there food intake would be minimal as it is.. and if all the creatures were taken in as babies than.. hmmm... If Moses could survive for 40 days and nights without food or water than the matter of food is a non issue Exodus 34:28, I guess that is the benefit of having faith.
And there are many reasons to believe that dinos and man coexisted, cryptozoology... sure I would think that some accounts are fabricated, but I find it hard to believe all accounts are fabricated...
Let me blow your mind for a moment.. Look at the verse in Revelation 12:9.... I believe that Satan could very well have been a dinsoaur... HAHAHA I can just imagine your thoughts now...
Add up the sciptures that allude to it... the reason that "Serpents" are the way they are today is because of a curse.. otherwise I would say dinos would be all over the place unless we killed them...
I most certainly am open to correction if it is due.. and if you think it is due, it does not mean it is true.. You see in my doctrine it states that if you do not believen Christ Jesus as having been on earth, and was crucified to death and than rose again three days later, than I can conclude that you have been deceived and so I do not put much merit in your arguments if you fall in that category.. just as someone else judged me with... You are obviously easily convinced of lies...(now I do not write that to anyone in particular, but everyone in particular that does not believe in the only begotten Son of God)
Concerning fossils and there construction.. everyone of them has to be made very quickly otherwise it is impossible for them to be made.. if a fish or a whale washes on shore and is not covered instananeously with the right amount of waters, minerals and what ever else than it fully decomposes... so the thought of any of them being covered by many thousands of years of sedimentary to fossilise can be scrapped. Correct me if I am wrong, but give me the scientific observation that can challenge that a fossil can be made in that way.
pteradactyls are not dinosaurs? Enlighten me.

Ok you obviously have no training inside of Koine Greek...
1 Corinthians 13 is about the word Agape.. and that same word is what is in 1 John 4:8 and as well as John 3:16...
