"And God distributed the dino bones in chronological order in the strata as a practical joke."

Are you suggesting that the existence of dinosaur bones contradict creationism? That's ridiculous. The Bible says two things about this, First, that the Earth was created in seven(7) days, and second that a day is as long as a thousand (1000) years. I personally understand the latter to mean that the meaning of a "day" in Genesis, is metaphorical, much like the phrase "back in the day of "Insert favorite era here."" So If this is true, then the creationist position is defended from arguments that dinosaurs contradict creation.

Well, it depends if you insist on a literal view of the Noah tale.
