The Institute for Creation Research has some very interesting ideas. Years ago, I attended a seminar they put on, and their theory (backed up by some science I can't remember) is that when God created the earth, there was a hydrogen canopy (the "firmament" in Gen. 1). This canopy had all sorts of interesting properties, including an increase in air pressure similar to that of the oxygen chambers we use in medicine now. The pressure would super-oxygenate the blood, which not only provided for faster healing, but would also explain how the dinosaurs could survive with those enormous bodies and relatively small lungs. The theory is that the Flood destroyed that canopy, and that the dinosaurs died out afterward, because they couldn't breathe in the lighter atmosphere.
They're famous for preserving a site where human footprints are found inside dinosaur footprints, which completely contradicts the idea that dinos died out millenia before humans arrived.
