question on evoluton/creation thing...not a debate just a question

I want to know where the people are in the evolution debate in relation to the dinosaurs. Were we supposedly co-existing or did whatever killed the dinosaurs spark the transition into what we are now? I realize I could find the answer in one of the other debates but I dont really feel the desire to read round and round about this just wanted an answer.
  • Weydon is mostly correct
    but here is some detail to why.

    when the ice age came about, the dinosaurs died due to the lack of light, or you could say they died due to lack of heat. dinosaurs where thought to be cold blooded and they could not function on their regular level and therefore, could not survive for very long.

    mammals were also present at this time but not in vast majorities (humans are not even near the picture yet). because mammals were warm blooded, they did not need the heat from the sun to survive. this sudden drop off of their greatest preditor and more space, they eventually got the chance to breed more and have more space to live and more food to eat.
    a few millions of years later, humans evolved into what we are today.

    you could say we are children of the ice.

  • creation?
    And what do creationists believe?? Now I partly believe in evolution, partly in creation (God created, we evolved...)

    I would however also like to know what creationists believe (what evolutionists believe is obvious).
    Any creationists out there ?

    Dinosaurs existed before us. The Ice Age killed out the dinosaurs almost entirely (some may have managed to survive and evolve into different creatures, like birds for instance) and gave way to the rise of mammals and much later humans.

    Well, in a world that inhabited mega-flora, mega-fauna thrived in consuming and exploiting these resources. As a dramatic change to the environment yielded the extinction of these large food sources, so did the animals that consumed them. It is not necessarily a choice by any given right, but a consequence of large bodies being met with something that only smaller-bodied organisms could endure. Ultimately, the most well-adapted creatures were subterrainian ancestors of us mammals, and they were able to thrive based on the natural selection theory. A series of environmental impacts in combination with genetic mutations differing warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals caused the reproductive favoring of such creatures. Was a deity involved with this, well who knows for certain? For those fundamentalists Christians, Jesus spoke not of what animals existed before human interaction of the world, yet he did not deny the existence of such, or the matter of what dawned before human existence, so keep that argument out of the religious arguments with evolution.
