I'm not going to do all the work for you. There are plenty of stories that describe things like dinosaurs in history that you can find yourself. There's also the book of Job, which mentions what sounds like dinosaurs.
Mostly, though, I know that all of the bones that have been found haven't been dated correctly, because radiometric dating is garbage (and you can find these arguments yourself as well). The Institute for Creation Research is a pretty solid resource.

Are you perhaps referring to this study https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-n...115306469/
Maybe you should read the article first.
Bad dating in that case, as in all such cases. She isn't the only one who has found these things, by the way. I seem to remember hearing that these discoveries are becoming more and more regular. Here is one example: https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/03/world/din...index.html
EDIT: I should mention I'm not really sure what you were pointing out. There was still "flesh" on or in the bone, and they have no idea how it was preserved for so long.

You seem simply to be basing your claim on ''I believe it so'' rather than any evidence. Sure things can get lost or destroyed, but we cannot make claims on the basis of ''the evidence could have been lost'' that makes your claim simply assertion
It's not a claim, it's a fact. You have no idea what happened, so to cite this "evidence" as conclusive is just silly. That's why in your own article it states that two scholars, whom I assume have access to the same information, differ.

How can you show what you believe (and I believe that you believe) is anything more than a belief ?
We're all unworthy, and we're all blind until the Lord gives us sight. Being offended at your present state or the idea that it might be your present state is only evidence that you don't see yourself as you truly are. We all deserve to be blind fools.
