Then you will need to enroll in college, major in paleontology, and then personally excavate fossils.
Apparently the mistranslated, edited, and redacted words in a book are convincing to you, but physical evidence you ignore.
One of my former students discovered a wonderful "stem group" or "transitional" fossil. Its scientific name is Gomphotaria pugnax. It is the ancestor of the walrus, elephant seal, and sea lion group. What will not be published in the textbooks is that he "discovered" the fossil one morning while taking a "call of nature" in a fieldwork setting. Looking down, he was shocked to see he had "washed off" a bone fragment.

I don't see anywhere I indicated that Newton was never wrong so not sure where you want to go with that...Science is niether moral not immoral so how can there be an assumption of good or bad? My point was only that one could embrace both science and a belief in God. You what fools say about God don't you?
There's a book called "In Six Days" written by scientists, I thought it might interest GS.

I an not aware of the bible discussing dinosaurs (I do not believe that Leviathan and Behemoth are dinosaurs). So, I don't know where dinosaurs fit into the creation story. Don't misunderstand...I believe the Word of God to be true, I just try not to force things in that aren't there.
So, perhaps dinosaurs died about 1,654 YFC (Years from creation) during the flood. Or maybe their remains carried over from a previous existence (earth cycle) not written in the bible - I am not saying that I believe this, but it has crossed my mind. I have not located enough information FROM THE BIBLE to even place them in our earth cycle, if you will.
So...human curiosity makes me want to know, but it is not a salvation issue or God would have let us know. However, I believe that it can become a salvation issue when you let the words of men discredit the Word of God.
I read it many years ago. I have even met some of the contributors. Something I found interesting was that they became Christian, and then rejected science. John Baumgardner is a typical example.
One of the prominent counter examples was Glenn Morton. He graduated with his "Creation Geology" degree from the Institute for Creation Research, and went to work in the petroleum industry. He wrote that he expected to find, and expose the "lies of secular geologists" about sedimentary basins, and the age of the Earth. Instead he found out that he had been lied to by the ICR instructors. Old Earth Creation Science Testimony - Why I Left Young Earth Creationism, by Glenn Morton

What they rejected was this...
1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
1Ti 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.

Not to be found as there is no such thing.....again they (the intellectuals who have a piece of toilet paper on the wall that states that they know something) keep regurgitating (theory) as fact. There is no missing link to be found as evolution as a fact is a farce....as a theory is exactly that...a theory! It is funny how they place their trust into circular reasoning, carbon dating and the opinions of mere men who think they actually know something based upon a signed piece of paper or two that states that they are intellectual and that they know something.....Instead they will reject a book that was written by 40 different men over a period of 1600 years with most not knowing each other and from every gambit of life, yet it all flows perfectly and through attempt after attempt to be discounted, burned out, killed out it is still the number 1 best seller of all time.....they fail to acknowledge the fact that it contains (scientific) data that could not have been known by mere men and it (the bible) reeks of divine inspiration.....like Isaiah written in circa 720 B.C. and how he BY NAME identifies Cyrus the Persian who some 180 to 190 years later would conquer Babylon and write the decree to let the Jews return to their home land and or how even ALEXANDER the GREAT was so impressed with the BOOK of DANIEL and his predicted rise to dominance that he spared Jerusalem and gave them 7 years without taxation......They will ride their (opinionated) theories straight to the gates of hell, and even the rich man while cooking in the flames of hell will still reject the one true God and ALL of the PROOF that testifies to the truth and validity of the scriptures.......!
