I do not ignore the fossil record. I do not accept the age of the fossil record. Carbon dating and argon dating and uranium dating often give vastly different results on the same sample, and we are talking orders of magnitude.
I believe that man and the dinosaurs were contemporaries and that the dinosaurs died out like many species have, many in our own lifetime or recent past. Dinosaur tracks have been found that have human foot prints in them indicating that they were made at roughly the same time. Of course this evidence is rejected by those that believe in evolution and an old universe because it does not fit their belief system. Larger animals generally have longer gestation periods. If a population of large animals were killed by hunting or disease or habitat change or loss, it does not recover quickly and sometimes does not recover at all.
Archaeologists and paleontologists says an artifact is a certain age because it is found in a certain rock layer. Geologists say that certain rock layers are a certain age because of the artifacts found in it. That is circular reasoning and proves nothing.
Of course this will not change your mind and what you post will not change mine. We both have our faith. My faith is in God and the Bible yours is in whatever you have faith in. I believe in 6 days for creation as the Bible states. I may be stupid, but I would rather be stupid for God than trust in man's "wisdom" which is so often proven false; flat earth, earth at center of universe (religiously held too); everything made from four elements, fire, earth, air, and water; humans would not survive the air pressure of traveling faster than a horse could gallop. The list of human scientific "wisdom" that has become false goes on.
