In truth, the earliest primates developed 50-55 million years ago.

If a human skeleton was found with a dinosaur, then I would have to accept they lived together [simultaneously I mean]. But if their skeletons are not found fossilized together it does not necessarily mean they did not co-exist, only that they have not been found together.

You’re statement on fossils being found “together” or “separate” indicates that you may not understand what others on this forum are talking about when they explained how the earliest primates appear much later in the fossil record than do dinosaurs. To determine the age of a particular fossil does not depend on the location of its discovery. The fact is that the fossils of the earliest primates are dated much later than those of the dinosaurs. Location is irrelevant. Humans never lived with dinosaurs.

The animals that survived the cataclysm of 65 million years ago included the first mammals. At the time, they were comparatively small, bred faster, were more adaptable, and used less food than other land animals. Likewise, early birds and smaller reptiles survived because of size or habitat (water, ability to fly and escape from harm) and also less food needs than the dinosaurs.

Despite any TV shows you may see, humans and dinosaurs never co-existed.

The dinosaurs ultimately depended on giant forests of giant tree ferns. When they disappeared the dino’s died out. But that either happened extremely slowly or extremely quickly, extemely slowly giving both dinosaurs and tree ferns time to evolve into hardier and no less big things?

Are you 100% certain that location is irrelevant?

You still have not answer the question. What do you believe and why do you believe it?

Amanda, this is the best scientific evidence we have for the claim that humans and dinosaurs lived together:

Dinosaurs went extint around 65 million years ago. This happened before the creation of Adam and Eve, and therefore man and dinosaur did not coexist.

Science and the Catholicism are not at war, and science points to the earth being billions of years old. God created man and beasts on the sixth day of creation. The Catholic Church allows us to believe in either a literal six 24-hour days of creation, OR, a symbolic six day creation where each one of those days represent a longer period of time. I personally believe in the latter to be true.

Location IS irrelevant.

If I get up at 6 am, drink a cup of coffee, and place my used cup by the sink, and leave for work, and then my son gets up at noon, drinks a cup of coffee and by some miracle places his used cup by the sink, did we drink our coffee together? No!

Likewise, let’s say my grandmother packed away a box of her belongings in 1950 and tucked it in the attic of her house. My mother currently lives in that house, and I decided to store a few of my sons’ baby things at my mother’s house because I don’t have room for them at my house. My mother tucked the box into the attic. If someone were to go into the attic and see the boxes sitting side by side, would they assume both my grandmother and I put our things in the attic at the same time? Events happened about 60 years apart!

Dinosaurs and humans did not live at the same time. Our school system is really failing…

I’m just thinking, The Wizard, not believing this or that, That Adam and Eve were created in the Garden of Eden. So what if the dinosaurs lived outside the Garden. If I take it that humans lived in the fertile crescent of the near east or possibly Israel for ages and ages and no dinosaur fossils, bar perhaps one, have been found in Israel, and that in the time of the dinosaurs the area that later became the general area of Israel and that whole general area were then islands more or less surrounded on three sides by joined continents on which there are found numerous dinosaur fossils.
So the reason you won’t find human fossils with dinosaur fossils is that the humans lived on an island or islands and the dinosaurs lived on the continents and never the twain did meet.
See, perfectly simple and reasonable.
