There's a better chance of finding a real dinosaur on one of your hikes.
I have an entire portfolio of responses to this, but I'll leave it at " That's interesting and makes sense" for the sake of decorum.
Your gonna love this. I'm going hiking tomorrow in a park that has a mastodon bone bed that is over 10,000 years old. So, you are so very close to correct, that you are smacking it on its haunches.
Edit: Not to mention that the older geological layers are fossil-bearing sedimentary rock full of crinoid fossils that are 300 million years old.

Actually about 4500 years old.
Thanks for providing your thoughts on that. I think it is wonderful that some people are keeping our ancient traditions alive. Our ancestors didn't know much about the world around them and they believed a lot of erroneous ideas for sure.
I think you are setting an example that we all should pay careful attention to.
You have a wonderful evening. I'm going to get some rest and enjoy a hike tomorrow walking over limestones that are 300 million years old and not give one thought to this tradition.
How about a link to these 30,000 dinosaur figurines. Or should I just accept you made it up?
Enjoy. It's a long weekend here so I won't be going anywhere. Take some pics so I can enjoy your hike too.
I'm firmly convinced that it is erroneous information that is just being repeated without validation out of a misguided fear of the success of science. Just one application of science can successfully allow people from such distances as Africa, Australia, the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North and South America to converse in real time on the same subject. One example of many that shows the successful application of science to solve problems and increase our knowledge. It challenges the reliance on ignorance and fear that seem to sustain some world views and this scares the **** out of those holding such views. I see these sorts of topics as the result of that fear manifested.
I'll see what I can do. Maybe I can find some of those 10,000 plus year old mastodon fossils to photograph. Or perhaps, and more likely, some of the 300 million year old crinoids.

Creationists are the inventors of all modern science and all of modern civilization.
we are not against science. We love science. We are against false science.
Those seeking to learn and understand created science.
All I see is the cold fear of science.
You are against science. My interpretation, and I feel very good that it holds up, is that what you claim as false science is just science that frightens you. It is my conclusion that if you start accepting science you will have to cast off your rigid and stagnant interpretations that aren't really all that Godly in my opinion. It is my opinion that God did not make us to cower in ignorance and wallow in fear of learning about His creation.

No, they aren't. You do not seem to even know what the term "creationist" means. You might want to check into the origin of the word.
Just because some scientists did not know better because there was not a coherent explanation of how life got to its present form does not mean that they were "creationists".

When I say creationist I mean someone who believes in 6 day creation, 6000 years ago as it describes it in the Bible.

That is close to the original meaning, but it is not quite right.. You do not get to count scientists before the theory of evolution was developed because you have no clue as to what they would believe.
One thing that you need to remember, just because the Bible is wrong about how life arose does not mean that the Bible is wrong about everything. Most Christians also accept evolution.
You mean people like Aristotle, Pythagoras, Anaximander, Archimedes, Galen, Francis Bacon, Galileo, Abu Bakr al-Razi, Avicenna, James Hutton and so on?
These are founders of modern science.
There is no scripture that says the Earth is 6,000 years old.

Where did those scientists say that the Earth was only 6,000 years old? And if you want lists of scientists as evidence then you know that you are going to lose, don't you? On the order of 99% of all scientists accept the fact of evolution today.These guys.

Men who developed science and happened to be Christian. They were people of their culture and time. But there is no evidence they believed the claims of Genesis. There is evidence that when some of them tried to demonstrate claims of biblical creation they couldn't and found the evidence indicated a different story. That Genesis was best viewed as a metaphor written by authors ignorant of the world around them.These guys.

A tradition of ignorance that you seem overjoyed in forcing on the rest of the world.
In my view, a conservative position is one of retaining certain values of our history and not in worshiping ignorance and exporting it.
I just worked out that I spent the last 30 minutes talking to a gif of Iago from Aladdin thinking it was you.
Sadly, your responses were genius. Okay, you seemed to be just quietly agreeing with everything I posted. But I count that as genius.
Are there two threads with the same title? That could be a sign.
