[I've been on DOZENS of digs all throughout Colorado, Wyoming. Why haven't I found humans with dinosaurs?]
because humans didn't shack up with dinos...humans in the past probably got as far away from dinos as possible. You probably won't find humans near fossil lions either. It only makes sense that you'd get far away from creatures that might want to eat or hurt you.

Except if dinosaurs wanted to eat or hurt people, it stands to reason they'd succeed eventually, or at least get a spear in the face for their trouble, so you can see how your argument falls to tiny bits.
For a second there I was, "What? Shack up with dinos?" Then I saw Supersport... ah, how we love thee...
I'm currently shacked up with two "dinos" if you count reptiles in general as descendants.

"We have entered the WTF zone."
*pfft* Dude, we're talking about Supersport. He all but lives there .
If dinosaurs didn't eat humans, humans wouldn't have avoided them, so we'd find them together. If they did eat humans, the dinosaurs would have left human remains around and we still would find them together.

Definitely don't. T-Rex had a wishbone - the descendants of dinosaurs are very clearly birds and not reptiles . There actually were reptiles that coexisted with the dinosaurs, and of course your iguanas are descended from them.
The oldest currently surviving reptile is the Tuatara of New Zealand, whose lineage goes back 225 million years. Since many famous dinosaurs didn't come on the scene until 100 million years ago (or less), that Tuatara is one ancient species.

Dang! I can't recall where I read the article but, there was recently a find in Africa of dozens of human victims of big cats, dated about 50,000 years ago, mixed with the big cats who killed them. Humans have always been prey and, in many places, they still are. Yet we find their remains alongside the creatures who prey upon them.
Yeah, except if they did eat you. Then, you know. The bones would---
Oh fuck it! Fuck it all. I need a puppy break from all this shit.
Wow, that trifle of an argument might have went over well at some baptist church, but not in a place of science. You would have been corrected so quickly and so accurately that you would have ran out screaming "PERSECUTION!!!eleventyone!!1!1"
"You probably won't find humans near fossil lions either"
iirc, the first known lion fossils (and possibly the first leopard fossils as well) occur at Laetoli, the same Laetoli where australopithecine fossils (and those famous tracks thereof) were found.
Also, people would hunt dinosaurs, use their body parts for things, depict them in their art. We don't see any evidence of that (compared to, say, mammoths, which DID coexist with people)
"You probably won't find humans near fossil lions either."
And if we did, would you reconsider your argument?
No, of course not. You're convinced that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time, and no amount of evidence will convince you to the contrary.
"...humans in the past probably got as far away from dinos as possible. You probably won't find humans near fossil lions either. It only makes sense that you'd get far away from creatures that might want to eat or hurt you"
PROTIP: "Jurassic Park" is NOT a documentary.
However, when I rewatch the first film in future, the scene where the T-Rex eats the lawyer sitting on the khazi, I'm gonna think of you, stuporsport. And I won't be imagining you as said dinosaur, neither.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
