@bigd: before I read anything else I saw that you said it is estimated 6000 years ago. Estimated. No one REALLY knows how much exactly...I'm saying at the absolute MOST 10000 years ago. And I certainly don't think it was that long ago. I'm saying probably around 7000...meant to say 6000-7000 but it's irrelevant. 6000-8000 years ago I would say is the earliest/latest I believe it to be. Whenever it was I believe it was the same time the earth was created. Please don't try and take my own words and use them against me...

From a much more credible source than your link: Then go google the Taylor Trail and read wherever you want to. It's footprints beside dinosaur prints. Pretty conclusive that they coexisted if you ask me...the link you sent me just talks about the period with literally no proof earth existed back then.

@bigd: before I read anything else I saw your 600 estimated 6000 years for the Bible part in your post. Estimated. No one REALLY knows...and I'm saying at the absolute most 10000 years. And I don't think it was that long ago. I'm saying probably around 7000 I'm saying God created it all at the same time (well, over a course of 7 days) whether it was 6000 or 7000 years ago doesn't really matter.

@bigd: I didn't answer your question because dinosaurs didn't exist hundreds of millions of years ago...I don't believe they existed more than 7000-8000 years ago...10000 at the absolute most. Even though it's wrong because science has proven they existed millions of years ago, let's just say you're right about dinosaurs existing only 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. The problem with that is, the Earth has been calculated to be around 6,000 years old in biblical terms... something many, many Christians have proclaimed. Yet, you say dinosaurs existed 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. 10,000 at the most. That's still before the Earth was supposedly created by god!So even if your theory about how long ago dinosaurs existed was correct, it still doesn't explain how dinosaurs lived on a human-less Earth if Earth was supposedly created by god at the same time as man. Everything you point out is a mere belief and nothing more. You believe god exists, you believe dinosaurs went extinct only 7,000 years ago, and you still have no credible evidence that either of those beliefs are true. Now let me rephrase the question and leave the years out of it. Explain this: The bible says Earth and man were created by god at the same time... yet, dinosaurs lived on Earth before man even existed. So if god created man at the same time he created Earth, how could dinosaurs have lived on Earth if Earth supposedly hadn't been created yet by god? It has NOT been proven. Go google taylor trail. Dinosaurs did not live before man ever existed. That is not proven and it never will be.

Show me your proof that dinosaurs existed hundreds of millions of years ago. Show me since you say it's been proven. I showed you a link that showed that dinosaurs and man coexisted and what I got from MO did nothing but talk about the time periods with nothing to back it up.

That was a link talking about a period of time where the dinosaurs roamed. You're ignoring facts man..

Explain to me how that is "fact". It just said "this period, that period, and that period is when this was here and that was there"

"The Mesozoic Era is divided into three time periods: the Triassic (251-199.6 million years ago), the Jurassic (199.6-145.5 million years ago), and the Cretaceous (145.5-65.5 million years ago).*
Mesozoic means "middle animals," and is the time during which the world fauna changed drastically from that which had been seen in the Paleozoic. Dinosaurs, which are perhaps the most popular organisms of the Mesozoic, evolved in the Triassic, but were not very diverse until the Jurassic. Except for birds, dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. Some of the last dinosaurs to have lived are found in the late Cretaceous deposits of Montana in the United States.
The Mesozoic was also a time of great change in the terrestrial vegetation. The early Mesozoic was dominated by ferns, cycads, ginkgophytes, bennettitaleans, and other unusual plants. Modern gymnosperms, such as conifers, first appeared in their current recognizable forms in the early Triassic. By the middle of the Cretaceous, the earliest angiosperms had appeared and began to diversify, largely taking over from the other plant groups."
I've read it 3 times. How is this "fact".

They don't back it up with anything. All they do is say when they believe the period was and what they believe was there at that period. When I post something that shows human beside dinosaur tracks it's "not a credible source" but when you post something that does nothing but say someone's belief with nothing to back it up it's "fact".
Sorry, I don't like getting into religious debates. I hate it. Every time I do with anyone it's just frustrating and it never goes anywhere. The reason why I didn't want this thread here in the 1st place...it's very hard not to get frustrated.
