Ah yes. The old dinosaur thing. I've never got a satisfactory answer from a Christian on this.
I've heard that they were animals that didn't survive the great flood... but this of course makes no sense geologically.

How does not believing a theory that is not proven make one a "fundamentalist?"
I could see the few thousand years thing as being "fundamentalist," though.
Evolution is proven...

Accoording to Young Earth Creationists (not christians mind you!) Dinoes lived a few thousand years ago and were killed by the flood.
Talk about racism on the Arc of Noah. Apparently all dinoes were evil.

what do these people say about carbon 14 dating of bones?

I don't think they use carbon dating for dinobones but some other method having to do with other radio-active material. But this is only recalling from bad memory.

Creationists probably would disregard the carbon dating as fact. Honestly, you think that a bunch of fundamentalists are going to listen to reason and science? Carbon dating does not mean crap to a creationist, because you can't say to member of the Flat Earth Society "The Earth is round, look at this satellite photo" because they'll probably claim it was doctored.
Either the Creationists are shown how carbon dating works and they see it with their own eyes, then they'll learn. But that'd be expensive, just like giving free trips to space for Flat Earth Society members so they can see that the Earth is indeed round.
Are the comparisons good enough? Anyway, conclusion is, carbon dating and pictures do not mean a thing to a Creationist
EDIT: Also carbon dating is not necessarily accurate. Nobody lived that long ago to tell us if it is accurate or not

I swear, if people around here don't start drawing distinctions between creationists and young earth creationists, I'm going to go postal. Being a creationist does not necessarily mean evolution isn't accepted, nor does it necessarily mean believing the earth is only thousands of years old. That said, this looks suspiciously like a thread whose sole purpose is to mock young earth creationists. Not nice.

@VRWCAgent: Ow fook, you're right. The distinction I made wasn't destictive enough.
For some odd reason, I ascociate YE Creationists with creationism and the other as ID-ers.

We could ask Jesus, but He may be still mad about that whole cross thing.

Sorry I only know one concept of creationism and I apologise if I cannot distinguish from the multiple groups of it out there. The one I was talking about was the ones who do not believe in evolution and say the dinosaurs were killed in a flood, like that Creationism museum I heard about in Kansas, that kind of theory. Those people was what I was getting at with the carbon dating stuff.
What is a Young Earth Creationist anyway?

No kidding.
Reminds me of this joke
God: I feel like a vacation
Angel: Why not Jupiter?
God: Nah, too much gravity, bad for my back you know
Angel: Oh right... how about Mercury then? Rates are cheap
God: Nah, I don't like it being too close to the sun, it'll burn me, and you know how much I hate sunburn
Angel: Oh, ok... well how about Earth then?
God: You kidding!? I had an affair with a Jewish woman there 2000 years ago and they still have not shut up about it!
Science CANNOT say "This is correct", it can only say "This is not incorrect". It's as close to a fact as is allowed in science.That's why it's called THEORY of evolution
