1. There have only been dinosaur discoveries in the last two centuries.
2. Dinosaur discoveries are not made by laypersons as would be expected.
3. The actual fossils are not handled or examined by independent researchers.
4. The reconstructions of dinosaurs are gross presumptions and in many cases are not viable.
5. Established forgeries have been produced bringing the credibility of any fossil into question.

Dinosaurs and man coexisting
Many new Earth creationists accept dinosaurs did actually exist, However, they claim they are not millions of years old as evolutionists say they are, but rather that they are a few thousand years old only and walked alongside humans. They postulate that humans and dinosaurs coexisted, and they give examples …show more content…

But, the views should be given consideration at least. They are viable, whether you like them or not. We are not asking you to make an opinion on it, but it has to be considered. The dinosaur deniers and conspiracists of evolutionary theory have put forward cases where they are able to demonstrate viable conspiracies with motive, means, and opportunity. There is no way that you or I could know with any degree of certainty whether these conspiracies have any truth behind them or not. In essence, the conspiracy theory against evolutionary theory is no different to any other conspiracy theory, like the ones which suggest the 1969 moon landings were a hoax, or that climate change is a government initiated hoax.

Now, of course, it would be wrong to demonise the whole of the evolution movement based on the wrong actions of what would appear to be just a few individuals, seemingly acting for personal interest rather than for a more sinister cause. However, it is clear that the credibility of the pro-evolutionists as a collective group has been harmed by the actions of these few. It is like the boy who cried wolf. Once a deliberate lie has been made to promote the theory, and the lie has been supported by the pro-evolution community, then the credibility of the whole community comes into question, as well as the evidence that is being used to support the theory. It would seem that evolutionary theory has been involved with more hoaxes, false evidence, and controversies than most other questionable theories, which itself may be of some relevance. It is hard to think of any other scientific theory that has been subject to anything like this. For us, it is not possible to know what evidence is real and what evidence is not real, and an element of faith is required. The issue however, is that so much of the evidence is interpreted differently according to who is interpreting it. As said, creationists tend to interpret the
