sorry ...fantasy

can any Creationist please explain the vast plethora of dinosaur and pre-dino fossils that have occurred , going back over 300 million years ?

There was a lot that earlier men did not know and could not grasp . God is not about a religion(s) God is so much more vast than that .

1.) Land animals and humans have a low fossilization potential. We would expect few fossils from them.

Not a reasonable position - The fact of remains of land animals having been found, many smaller than humans, denies the point - We should expect human remains in the natural course of things... And they are found. However, along with that, one must consider that humans would be more adept at battling the flood - having a superior ability to get to higher ground, make rafts and boats, cling to flotsam, and etc... While certainly not perfectly true, one might suggest that many human deaths came from perishing long after other animals by way of starvation, or drowning when their 'craft' became waterlogged, succumbing to currents or mega-waves, and etc... What that does to the placement of their remains, later in the flood, is beyond my ability to fully consider.

If the Flood buried a multitude of people and distributed their bodies among the world’s sedimentary rocks, finding even one human fossil in such a vast area would be unlikely.

Again, a poor position. That other remains have been found supposes the very same for humans.

Underwater mudflows during the Flood would have ground human bones to powder.

Again, a poor position. That other remains have been found supposes the very same for humans.

Floodwaters receding off continents might have likewise pulverized them.

Again, a poor position. That other remains have been found supposes the very same for humans.

Catastrophic geological processes may have buried ancient continents in their entirety, virtually erasing all evidence of people.

It is more likely that the flood preserved cities - Human habitation tends to follow sea coasts and rivers - low lands... as the flood waters rose, such places would be quickly inundated, and barring initial flood damages, would tend to be below the raging currents that would eventually occur once the waters rose to a point where the waters were made free to gain speed and power. If the oceans are higher today than they were in times before the flood, then preserved cities will be found beneath the waves - And they are.

Whoever discovers a pre-Flood human bone or bone fragment might not identify it as such, since that finding would not fit evolutionary expectations.

Very true.

“Where are the fossils from the people who lived before the Flood?”

Which of the many Floods do you want to talk about? There have been innumerable great floods.

Human fossils dating from before 12,000 years ago are rare, because the Human population was very small in comparison to the population of animal fossils typically found, and very few of the Human corpses survived long enough to become fossilized under the special conditions require for fossilization.

The question is irrational and nonsensical given the physical realities.

I believe that man has been around for much, much longer than we realize.

I think that the Adam/Eve era is just the last iteration.

There is a creator. He/She is very, very, very old.
