Where to even start on this one...
Evolution, any version of it, demands expanses of time
which are vast compared to anything we know about human history on this planet.
School children are still being taught that dinosaurs
died out tens of millions of years ago, typically 65M - 150M or thereabouts
depending on the type of dinosaur. In particular, bringing dinosaurs
into the age of man would pretty much flatten all versions of evolution
since it would not allow time for any of them.
Now, it's been known for some time that there were bits
and pieces of evidence lying around which were totally out of keeping with this
standard view but, prior to the present internet age, it was always possible
for ideologically committed darwinists to keep a lid
down on this sort of information and prevent the public from having access to
it. In the present internet age, that is no longer possible, and the facade is
starting to crumble.
There are now a number of websites dedicated to providing
this information to the public. Bible.ca for instance:
http://www.bible.ca/tracks/native-american-dino-art.htm
There are recognizable dinosaurs
images drawn on canyon walls and around lakes and rivers at various North
American sites, which are called "petroglyphs"
or rock art. One very clear sauropod images occurs at
Natural Bridges Utah:

Another sauropod image turned up
in the 1920s with the Doheney Scientific Expedition
in Arizona:

There is at least one tricerotops
glyph in North America:

And then you have the case of the stegosaur, which Indians
called "Mishipishu" or "water
panther". Indian oral traditions describe Mishipishu
as having red fur, a sawblade back and a "great
spiked tail" which he used as a weapon. Glyphs around rivers and lakes
were basically warnings meaning "caution, one of these lives here".
Louis and Clarke noted that their Indian guides were in mortal terror of these
glyphs around the
Somebody's always going to ask
"What about the horns on that stegosaur image at Masinaw?"
Those glyphs survive because Indians
have always come by and touched them up every couple of decades, from antique
times to this day. The horns were simply added by some artist closer to our own
times, long after the creature itself had gone extinct. In other words, an artist familiar with bison
figured an animal that big had to have horns…
In fact a better images survives on a column stone at
Angkor, Cambodia:

The temples at
Then again, there is the recent case of scientists
breaking a tyrannosaur leg bone in half to get it out of a remote location with
a small helicopter, and finding soft tissue inside it:
Do your own search on 'tyrannosaur' and 'soft tissue' for
this one.
Not that you'll find any lack of "scientists"
proposing ways such tissue could have lasted 65,000,000 years, nonethless the idea is clearly ludicrous. It would have to
have never rained in
That was two years ago. More recently proteins from that
tissue have been analyzed and turn out to be nearly identical with those of a
chicken (do searches on 'tyrannosaur' , 'soft tissue',
and 'chicken') so that the trex is seen to be
basically a big chicken with sharp teeth. He'd almost certainly have tasted
like chicken.
Then again, the bible and to a greater extent the full
body of rabbinical literature (midrashim)
describe several kinds of animals which are quite certainly leftover dinosaurs, including the reem,
behemoth, ziz bird, and several others.
Again prior to the internet age that kind of information
was difficult to get a look at. At present, Louis Ginzberg's
Legends of the Jews is online:

All of this adds up to a big picture view which simply ruins
the basis of evolutionism and, in fact, there is now at least one museum open
to the public which shows humans and dinosaurs
walking around together:
http://www.creationmuseum.org/
Something like 40,000 people went through that thing the
first month it was open. Clearly a day is approaching in which anybody trying
to talk about tens of millions of years in front of any sort of an American
classroom is going to encounter kids who have been through that museum, and you
assume that a lot of hundred-dollar shows and non-meetings of the mind are in
store.
