Is it really true that Liberty University has dinosaur fossils in their museum which they label as 3k to 4k years old?

So yeah, dawkins was giving a lecture at some college and some guy told dawkins that liberty has those fossils which they labelled as only a few thousand years old. And dawkins came back with a real zinger. I'm wondering if it's really true that liberty has that display? I tried seardching google but i haven't found anything about that...

"If it's really true that the museum of Liberty University has Dinosaur fossils that are labeled as being 3000 years old, then that is an educational disgrace. It is debauching the whole idea of a university, and I would strongly encourage any members of Liberty University who may be here, to leave and go to a proper university."

I think that quote is from this video (near the end):

I've heard the same thing you did from the same video as you did. Since no one in the audience seemingly disputed Dawkins' assertion, I would take it as legit.

My boss says the local university is hiding a "complete fossil record in their basement that proves Creation." Considering that we are still finding new species of living animals, I wonder how his brain arrived at the notion that we could ever KNOW that we had a complete fossil record.

From Wiki:

Liberty University is a non-selective Christian liberal arts university in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was founded as Lynchburg Baptist College in 1971 by conservative Christian Jerry Falwell, who is also the Senior Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church. The school was previously known as Lynchburg Baptist College and Liberty Baptist College before settling on its current name.

Yea, so it's a Christian liberal arts uniersity... I believe it.
