That's retarded. The only reference to anything like this that I can find is this page [s8int.com] which makes the argument that a certain piece of aztec art bears a resemblance to a tyrannosaurus skull. So yeah... hardly pervasive and hardly convincing to anyone who doesn't already desperately want to believe.

So I guess this page and this page and this page and quite a bit more just don't exist now do they?

fuck, are you using big or something? Because Google presented a crap load on a simple search for artifacts depicting dinosaurs.

No we haven't. The young earth grand canyon meme is debunked nicely here. It also doesn't stand up to some basic critical thinking skills, like if flash flooding carved the grand canyon, how come it left relatively fragile islands of rock standing up in the middle of the canyon in places?

That doesn't debunk anything. It's out dated too. But hey, don't let that stop you. Anyways, check out this, and look for the canyons created by Mt St hellens eruption when dams burst as well as the one in south carolina that happened during/result of a flood. As for the rock islands, the massive flood theories do not damage their existence. They were present in the flood simulations (using actual water and sediment) in the original Nova program. BTW, Nova is not really a creation science organization, your probably not going to be able to discredit them because of a simple god connection.

In order to believe young earth creationism, or ANY kind of age for the earth that's not in the millions or billions of years, you essentially have to throw away a ton of accepted knowledge, like how radioactive isotopes work, how sedimentation happens, plate tectonics, and so on. This includes things that are not only accepted but practically acted upon.

No you don't. You would have to change the relevence of the knowledge, that all. But I'm not asking you to believe the world is not millions or billions of years old. I'm asking you to view the evidence for what it is, support for an interpretation and not a fact that can't be disproven.

Basically science and technology are like a giant pyramid with the coolest crap on top. You can't accept the stuff on top, like say the GPS in your car or a radioisotope powered pacemaker, without implicitly allowing for the fact that all or most of the stuff beneath it is true, like the age of the earth.

See, here is where you are wrong. Have you ever heard the expression "there is more then one way to skin a cat"? Just because something is known to work one way doesn't mean it is the only way or the true way. We make batteries in about 30 different types of processes. we have roughly 50 different types of internal combustion engines and engined that don't run on combustion at all. We can make hydrogen though approximately 15 or more different ways. What you have to understand just because something fits, doesn't mean it happened like that and at any time, evidence could come along to change the entire understanding of what happened. And when you deny that possibility, you have stop doing science and started a religion or something.

Well, it appears that the Incas of Puru did. Not only do they depict dinosaurs attacking and being attacked in their art, pottery, and clothing, we have seen duplicate Inca message strings which were supposedly coded messages that runners would take from one location to another. It has been suggested that along dangerous routes, multiple messenger runners would be sent to ensure the probability of them getting through.

If you watch south park, they just recently did a two part video making fun of the Inca dinosaurs connections where they did the land of the lost giants and portrayed them all as Guinna pigs and Guinna pigs related creatures.

Wow a reliable source, NOT

no matter how old people think the Earth and the life on it, you will never find the fossils of a modern species next to those of a very early species.

This is an article about a fish with an early spine that predates invertibrates, never say never. We make new discoveries all the time.
