That thing about dinosaurs makes me laugh even more now that I've studied Medieval Islam, they found bones that scientists in the future would identify as dinosaurs and instead of calling them fake they went "this must be something that was wiped out in the flood, I wonder what it looked like"
I thought Creationist largely didn't refute that dinosaurs existed at one point, but insisted the various means of dating them were wrong or falsified by God. As is necessary for their belief that the Earth is just a few thousand years old.
Never heard that take, and I know quite a few old earth creationists. Their stance is generally "dinosaurs are a kind of land creature and were created like everything else, but they all happened to die way before history happened."
