The idea of evolution was centuries old when Charles Darwin wrote about it. It was obvious from the geologic record

Really? How?

How did all of those things get buried without being eaten or decaying, anyway? Pretty cool that a 10 foot wide dino could get buried over thousands of years and still have skin attached!

It is written, have you not read 2 Peter 3:5 "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished."

Millions, actually.

I'm aware of only one claim of flexible tissue being preserved in a dino fossil, and no claim at all of any cells or DNA being found.

Fossilization varies in its ability to preserve. Amber is good, but there may be other instances where tissue has been preserved. It's pretty rare.

Buried over thousands of years? Who claims that?!? Surely you don't take even Lyell to make that claim.
