Continuation of the previous list of why the earth is about 6000 years old...
The Earth is spinning at about 1000 miles per hour and it is slowing down. Very slowly. so slowly that 6000 years ago, it wouldn't be spinning too much faster. However, at the time YOU say that dinosaurs would be walking the earth: about 200 million years ago. The centrifucal force of the spinning earth would cause those dinosaurs to fly off the earth. And if it wasn't spinning that fast to begin with, anything that could make it spin that fast would have to be so big or so fast that when impact was made, life would be eliminated from the earth.
Calculations please? What was the spin rate of the earth 200 million years ago, then show the centrifugal force associated with that angular momentum...and PROVE dinosaurs would be slung into outer space.

The earth is moving away from the sun. Extremely slowly. So slow that 6000 years ago, once again, no big deal. millions of years ago is, once again, a problem.
The earth's orbit is elliptical, you forgot to mention that. You do know what an ellipse is don't you? No big deal. You're argument fails.

Rarely are complete skeletons intact
Rarely are elephant, gazelle, antelope, water buffaloe, etc skeletons found (even partially) on the plains of Africa. This isn't proof of a flood. This is demonstration of the role of predators/scavengers in our ecosystem. Your argument fails.

trees running through supposed millions of years worth of rock layer
Follow me to the lakeshores, and I'll show you modern trees growing through the sedimentary layers. This only proves that tree roots split rock layers in search of water deposits. The rock layers formed first. The trees grew later and their roots split the rock layers.

mass amounts of marine fossils in specific areas
As in my region of the country, the predominant fossils are of the ancient ocean type. This along with the geological evidence shows this area was previously a prehistoric ocean. Before you claim a global flood caused the ocean, you'll have to explain the numerous sedimentary layers in the Cumberland Mountains (each containing completely different species of marine life) I doubt it is possible for a global flood to selectively bury certain species in certain layers. Your example fails.

dead clams on top of mount everest
Mount Everest and the Himilayas were lifted out of the ocean (and is still rising) by the northward movement of the Indian subcontinent and its resultant subduction under the Asian continent during the past few tens of million of years.) Not just dead clams have been found on top of Mount Everst. You forgot to point that one out.

Many cultures have their own version of the flood story very similar to the bible's flood story.
Many cultures have exotic creation stories as well. What does this prove. Nothing.

huge amounts of closed clam fossils (most clams open when they die)
Wrong again. Again, walk the shorelines here with me and I'll show you the MAJORITY of dead clams are indeed closed.

Reasons for the flood being 4000 years ago:
The oldes tree is 4000 years old
The Nile, Amazon, and Ganges rivers all 4000 years old
The Sahara Desert is 4000 years old
Niagra Falls is 4000 years old
By the way, human bones are found amongst dinosaur bones all the time. They are just ignored by most science textbooks (because they think that humans lived only 1million years ago and that dinosaurs died off much earlier) There are even dinosaurs mentioned in the bible. Check out Job 38
They weren't called dinosaurs by the way, they were called Behemoths and Leviathans.
1. Source for the oldest tree please.
2. Concerning the rivers you mentioned, rivers are constantly being formed and disappearing over time. Check a topographical map of the Cumberland Plateau. You'll notice an ancient trench which was once a mighty river. The geological evidence, along with the numerous caves in the regions and their formations date back over 60 million years.
3. New findings show the Sahara was once indeed an ocean.
4. Please list the sites of dinosaur and human bones
5. Please show where the 'Behemoth and Leviathan' have been found..and EXACTLY what kind of animal were they? If I remember correctly, most who use these two examples can't even agree upon what they were, much less show any physical evidence to support their claims.
Hopefully, you'll study biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and ancient world history in your years to come. Sadly, you've been manipulated by those who don't seek or desire truth, but for reasons I've yet to understand, grossly misrepresent what science has shown to date.
