C14 contamination should be negligible giving
a very old age (for C14 testing, that is.)

Did you think this through?
C14 contamination should be negligible giving
a very old age (for C14 testing, that is.)
What happens when it gives fairly young ages?
Anyway, if contamination is a problem for one,
it is a problem for all dating methods and sources.
I think you are wasting your time quibbling about dating methods.
If you want to disprove the evolutionary timeline, perhaps you could provide some evidence that dinosaur predators ate horses, for instance. After all, creationists claim that all species had to be there at the beginning since there can be no new species, according to them. We do have some knowledge of what dinosaurs ate, so this is a reasonable request.

Dinosaurs were known by pretty much every culture
on earth from ancient times right up to recent times.

The Chinese Year has 11 common animals and a dragon.
Why suppose they would add a mythical animal when it's
more likely that they knew dragons because they lived
with them.
You are assuming that dragons and dinosaurs are the same thing.
It is possible that the idea of dragons came from dinosaur bones.
If the Chinese remember dragons and the Hebrews and other peoples of the Middle East don't, does that mean that the Chinese are more ancient?
Even if people had seen dinosaur bones, nobody thought of putting
them together until near the end of the 19th century. There was no
way of looking at the bones and seeing this:

Where do you get that the Hebrews and ME people didn't see them?
Behemoth and Leviathan in the bible are dinosaurs. It also mentions
dragons in several places, and not as allegories. Some others here:

It may take several posts to answer these misconceptions but here's a start.
"Behemoth" as used in the Bible is most likely a hippopatamus.
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
Do these tails

remind you of this tree?

Sources that I have seen say that "tails" really means the penis of the hippopotamus, although that might not preach well on Sunday morning.
No, I think most people, even 3500 years ago, could tell
the difference between a penis and a tail. The following
creatures had tails like cedars, even if after the flood they
didn't grow as large as before it due to shorter life spans.

The sea monster Leviathan cannot be a real animal, and so cannot be a dinosaur. Likewise, there is no sign of dinosaurs on land in the Bible.

Many of the references to Leviathan or dragons in the Old Testament are symbolic of powerful rulers, enemies of Israel, both in the present, and in the past. A dragon can symbolize a great ruler or a great nation when they are adversaries.

As I understand it, you are saying that dinosaurs were still around in 1000 BC.
If so, what happened to them? When did they die out, and why?
"Bristlecone pine wood that has fallen to the ground can remain intact for thousands of years in the cold, dry climate of the White Mountains. Using a cross-dating technique that overlaps tree-ring patterns of living trees with the still intact patterns of dead wood, scientists have assembled a continuous tree-ring chronology extending nearly 10,000 years."

Many creationists insist that the earth should be no more than 6,000 years old. Apparently the idea is that the Second Coming is imminent, and after that there will be the 1,000 Millenial reign, and then the Final Judgment. The world, from creation to Second Coming to Final Judgment will come out to 7,000 years. By this reasoning, the world began around 4,000 BC (Bishop Ussher?) and Noah's Deluge was about 3,000 BC.
The Bible simply doesn't say how old the earth is or how long God intends the earth's history to be. A 6,000 year old earth is an arbitrary idea.
Science is in constant collision with the notion of a 6,000 year old earth.
Take tree rings, for example. How simple can you get?

I suppose if there was a dissagree button it would useless.
For Adam and Eve and all things alive, there was no death till they sinned.
There was no sustaining from the tree of life for Adam and Eve. Man is not allowed to eat after the fall, and we can know they did not eat of the tree of life before the fall as God says if they did they would have lived forever.
