I'm curious. If finding bones is "stupid" evidence, what would you consider "good" evidence? Thank heavens you are not in law enforcement. I can just imagine YOU leading an investigation into the disapperance of a young lady. Someone leads you to the scene of her murdered body lying in a field and your first response is "Well, what evidence do we have that she was murdered--and don't tell me, 'That is her murdered body right there detective!' I want GOOD evidence."
If you are going to ignore the bones found from dinosaurs then that leaves......nothing. So using your warped historical investigation techinques, I guess we have to conclude that dinosaurs never existed.

OK, I won't mention bones (oops!).
They have found Skin imprints, eggs, tracks and teeth fossilised. (Not to mention bones.) All have been found in rock layers between 400 million and 50 million years old. Go figure! I reckon they actually existed.
There are no paintings of men with any creatures that look like dinosaurs, as another answer suggested. All the creatures depicted were large mammals such as buffalo, horses, mammoths, large cats etc, all known to have co-existed with man, and now mostly extinct. Dinosaurs and men did not co-exist, having missed each other by about 50 million years (give or take a day or two).

fossils of dinosaurs that lived between 213 and 144 million years ago. Center stage is the 27 m (87 ft) long Diplodocus longus. Sharing the Jurassic stage is Allosaurus, poised to strike. Surrounding them are dinosaurs that roamed during the Cretaceous period, between 144 and 65 million years ago including Edmontosaurus annectens. The Eleventh Hour diorama re-creates the Cretaceous world shortly before dinosaurs disappeared. A skeleton of Tyrannosaurus rex leaves no question as to its predatory nature. Most of the fossils here are real, not casts, and seven were startling finds upon which new species were named.

Fact. Reptiles found a great number of survival strategies, and produced some of the largest land animal ever between 230 million and 65 million years ago. Despite those famous for size, many were smaller, down to the size of a small house cat.

well unfortunately what you called stupid is the true and simple answer, we wouldn't have any knowledge of dinosaurs if it weren't for fossils and bones, anyways maybe sometime you should go to a museum in a big city where they have whole dinosaur skeletons assembled, it's an awesome sight to see with your own eyes

LOL....I'm afraid that "yes, they found some bones." What further evidence do you actually need? Photographs?

bones aside, there are tracks in the sand stone in texas, and whole bodies in the tar pits in Ca.
