dinosaurs and humans cohabitating is not just a religious idea. Matter of fact there are creatures that span the distance between dino-dominated periods and now. It is not too much of a stretch (unless your a closed minded baffone) that a few more held out and lived past the eve of the dinosaurs and the dawn of man.
What closed minded people do not understand is not all dinosaurs must from the prime of the mesozoic eras. Again we have animals from the tail end of the cretaceous period STILL roaming the earth in great numbers. So then how much more plausible that maybe a hand full of species more were alive 2 or even 5 thousand years ago that are not alive now? Do you seriously think the hand full of aligators and crocks species are that only ones that made it? Then what about sharks? the shark or a variation of it has been around supposedly for 450 million years... that's twice as long as the gator which puts it in the end of the 2nd of 6 paleozoic eras. Meaning evolutionary speaking this guy was a finished product when land life and the rest of sea life was in it's infancy. and they are still here.
It's all a matter of opening your mind. when people say that man walked along side dinosaurs it is happening now, but most of youclosedminded types were given a picture of man walking besides one or two species we do not have any proof of, yet ignore the living examples of today...
Now if you can wrap you mind around today's living examples dare to ask how many more example could have there been 5000 years ago... when the earth was less polluted and less populated by man.. if you can fathom just two other species then why not 10 very large reptiles? if 10 why not 20? would 20 dinsaur eras animals be enough to say man walked with the dinosaurs back then?????
what if I said there are at least 25 animals like that now??? now ask yourself again if 25 can live now So how many more do you think could have live back then?

Do I hear the hinges of a rusted close mind starting to creek open??? No I didn't think so. Because the word dinosaur means 3 different animals.
Don't even get me started on mammoths.. I found bones as a child with hair and 'matter' still on them at a local spring the bones were not fossilized, just the opposite they were badly decayed... they were maybe decades old maybe 100s of years but not thousands. I know they were mammoth bones because a lifeguard had us stop called in park admins and they shut the park down for like 9 moths while they investigated. the lifeguard got the credit and the park is now named 'mammoth springs. it has a plaster model of the mammoth head we found (reconstructed) minus the skull shard we kept. They went on and on about how the minerals in the spring fossilized the bones, which was a bunch of BS you could take your finger and push through the soft skull material. this was a 'fresh grave' not a billion year old site.
