'''Dinosaurs''' were [[reptile|reptilian]] creatures which are now generally believed to be extinct.

'''Dinosaurs''' were {{Reptilian}}-{{Bird}} like creatures which are now generally believed to be extinct.

They were known for their large size, although some species weighed just a few ounces.

Creation scientists point out that this is a false assumption; if human bones aren’t found buried with dinosaur bones, it simply means they weren't buried together.<ref name="HaD" />

Evolutionists point out that [[radiometric dating]] of rocks containing dinosaur bones shows them to have formed between 65 million years ago and 250 million years ago, whereas rocks with human bones in them are dated as being much newer (less than 5 million years old). Young Earth Creationists believe that these methods of dating rocks provide false results, and therefore reject this argument.

Creationists note that the fossil record contains mainly marine organisms and that a small sliver of the fossil record contains vertebrates and thus assert that we shouldn't expect to find many human fossils at all.<ref name="HaD" />
