[Then how do you explain all those millions-of-years-old dinosaur bones?]

First, they are not millions of years old.

Wow, how lame -- you completely dodged the part where I specifically asked you to answer the above question in a way that doesn't fly in the face of the known evidence. I'm afraid that snipping that part out and then just stamping your feet and declaring "they aren't that old" doesn't cut it.

Second, a worldwide flood could and would leave millions and millions of dead things laying around in hundreds of feet of mud worldwide.

...in many characteristic ways, which unfortunately for your thesis is NOT how "dead things" are actually configured in the Earth. Geology 1, newsgatherer's fantasies 0. For example:

Problems with a Global Flood

"Polystrate" Fossils

Review of John Woodmorappe's "Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study"

Dinosaur Prints in Coal

The Geologic Column and its Implications for the Flood

Is the Devonian Chattanooga Shale Really a Volcanic Ash-Fall Deposit?

Geology in Error?: The Lewis Thrust

Thrust Faults and the Lewis Overthrust

What Would We Expect to Find if the World had Flooded?

Problems with Walter Brown's Hydroplate Theory

Burrows in the Orkney Islands contradict the Global Flood

Why The Flood Can't Be Global

The Fish is Served With a Delicate Creamy Mercury Sauce

The Letter The Creation Research Society Quarterly Didn't Want You to See

Microfossil Stratigraphy Presents Problems for the Flood

Why Would the Flood Sort Animals by Cell Type?

Fleeing from the Flood

Isotopic Sorting and the Noah's Flood Model

Evidence from the Orkney Islands Against a Global Flood

While the Flood Rages, Termites Dig, Dinosaurs Dance and Cicadas Sing

More Nonsense on "TRUE.ORIGINS": Jonathan Sarfati's Support Of Flood Geology

Why Geology Shows Sedimentation to Be too Slow for a Global Flood

Creationist "Flood Geology" Versus Common Sense -- Or Reasons why "Flood Geology" was abandoned in the mid-1800s by Christian men of science

Which, I might add is exactly what we have, millions and millions of dead things trapped in hundreds of feet of mud worldwide.

I see... So it is actually your contention that fossils are found in "hundreds of feet of mud"?

Fascinating. So what about those that are found in *thousands* of feet of *rock*? Or do those actually not exist either?

(Folks, this is your brain on too many creationist pamphlets and not enough science books...)

I'm afraid you're REALLY going to be banging your head against the wall with this one. You might want to check your stockpile of blood-preasure meds.
