Dinosaur Questions

Dr. J: I'm having trouble with the "new Earth" belief. How old are the dinosaur artifacts? Did Noah really take dinos (babies, I'm told) on the Ark? Could any of the fossils have been 'planted' by God just to mess with our heads? I have been lead to believe that dinosaurs required a VERY different environment - warmer, wetter - than what we have today/for the last 6,000 years or so or more. And, of course, there are the Ice Ages. I am skeptical of some of the ice cores and the explanations from the samples taken at the poles. Peace in Him, Mike in IL
