And that has what to do with the original post?
Just for sake of argument, I will let you have your 6000 year old earth. All that does is make it even more ridiculous for a god to embark on an experiment such as this.
We already know that you have no concept of infinity or eternity.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

You're the one who continues with evolution and the dino would have to be part of the process as you see it, so stop dodging and explain please.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I already did.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

You apparently missed the point or you just ignored it.

Sounds pretty much like Kim Jong Un with sexual innuendo.
