Actually creationism school of thought is 7-10 thousand years old (yes still wrong but hey lets at least not screw up their screwed up numbers).
Again to be fair they do not think god put dinosaur bones in the ground for us. They think god created dinosaurs on the 6Th day just like all other creatures. Though they along with all creatures and Adam and Eve were all vegetarians and could not die until sin came to be. Then shit hit the fan, things killed each other, stuff died etc. So there would of been no fossils before sin.
The most common school of thought about the dinosaurs was that they did not follow Gods commands to board the Ark and were drowned. Because of the quick death/burial it is only natural then to find huge layers of dinosaur bones (fossils) buried in the rock layers that was formed by the mud all over the Earth.
As for oil it was also formed during the great flood and the other smaller floods. Which if people are OK with the Abiotic oil theory which creationists are, then that explains it.
Then of course yes according to the bible and most creationists. Not only did Adam live 930 years, many others lived much longer lives. After awhile God makes a new rule via Genesis 6:3 and says man will have their lifespan reduced to 120 years of age which God eventually enforces.

Many creationists will point out that it happens in other animals.
Recent example. so it is not a myth but a biological fact that it can happen.
I just find it best to be well armed with such arguments with such people.
