And I guess the mega tons of fossils sitting in museums are artifacts?

The fossil record tells us that they died. The Creationist says they were buried in the mud from the Flood. The Evolutionist tells many different tales that take as an article of faith selective uniformitarianism. We have the same evidence, its in the interpretation.

So, explain to use oh sage, how long ago the dinosaurs roamed? 9000 years ago?

Since neither of us were around 9000 years ago, and we don't have an eye witnesses around to interrogate, we must make use of the knowledge that we do have. Evolutionists ignore all personal witness and consider only speculation.

Since dinosaur is an evolutionist's term that refers to a critter found within certain rock layers that are imagined to be of a certain time period, it would be fallacy for me to use contrived definitions, in the same sense it would be for you to speak of the Holy Spirit's power and presence.

I can discuss the large animals that you subjectively call "dinosaurs" as being creatures that have been with man since the beginning of time. There are plenty of secular legends and stories of man's interaction with beasts that you might describe as dinosaur. But since you categorically deny the existance of dinosaurs in the past several thousand years, your self imposed limitations would make the conversation fruitless.

Conversely, what you are implying is that you believe dinosaurs actually existed within the last ten thousand years. Tyrannasaurus Rex, triceratops, pterodactils, etc. Now, I think you need to tell the truth to the good people on this forum and let us know exactly when you think dinosaurs existed. My guess is 60 to 150 million years ago. Now it's your turn.
