Sigh. Yes we may have been buried under ground but not together. Fossils are found at different depths according to how old they are. Dinosaurs and humans are not found at the same depth in the same rock.
Also radiometric dating techniques of fossils show early human fossils to be younger than dinosaur fossils. Dinosaurs died out around 65 million years ago. Humans split from ape ancestory around 8-4 million yeas ago.
You clearly demostrate that you have not got the slightest inkling of how the whole thing works.
As for the footprints beside dinosaurs the explanation is simple.
The footprints reputed to be of human origin are not. For example:
Some of the footprints are dinosaur footprints. Processes such as erosion, infilling, and mud collapse obscure the dinosaurian features of some footprints, making them look like giant human footprints, but careful cleaning reveals the three-toed tracks of dinosaurs (Hastings 1987; Kuban 1989).
Some of the reputed prints are erosional features or other irregularities. They show no clear human features without selective highlighting.
Some of the prints show evidence of deliberate alteration (Godfrey 1985).
The Paluxy tracks are illustrative of creationists' wishful thinking and of their unwillingness to face evidence. Although some creationists have repudiated the Paluxy claim, many others still cling to it (Schadewald 1986).

There is no explaining to do. There have never been human and dinosaur remains found in the same strata. There are lots of humans buried - some of them neolithic for example. At some point in the future you will be buried - that doesnt mean that you lived at the same time as neolithic man on the basis that you are both under the ground. Your powers of reasoning are somewhat dull.

That was a nice try, but you seem not to understand evolution very well.
For one, we have NOT found dinosaur fossils above the K-T boundary (Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event boundary) and no evidence of humans (direct or indirect) has been detected below this line. This evidence tells us that humans and dinosaurs did NOT coexist.
For two, both being "buried underground" means absolutely nothing. Things die and they fall to the ground naturally (has to do with gravity). Things accumulate on top of those bodies, and even then we can determine the amount of time that has past since death. So, being buried means nothing more than it died in and of itself - it takes complicated processes to determine how long it has been there. Your argument is based on a logical fallacy (namely hasty generalization).
Lastly, your argument has less to do with evolution than you think, and that I don't feel like explaining to you. The information is available for you to research.

"We used to live with dinosaurs"???
Well that 's wrong if you ask a cryptozoologist since many of them believe some cryptids are dinosaurs!"
"We're both buried underground,"
So you have no understanding whatsoever of what stratigraphy is ... please go to the library and check out some geology books!
And would you care to EXPLAIN why you spell explain as "EXSPLAININ' " ???
How old are you and are you failing science classes?
If you are it may not be because the evil atheist teacher is biased against you ... it may be because you need to actually study your text books?
Please go do some reading!!!

You know the funniest thing about this is that I really can't tell if the questioner is being serious or trying to lampoon creationists. That's how wacky real creationists sound to rational people who aren't brainwashed by religion.

morganie_xo: Good answer. I'm a Christian who believes in God *and* in science, and yes, it's a "straw man". Also what is known as a "false dichotomy" - see:

I saw an animated documentary that proved what you are saying. I think it was called "The Flintstones." Then, I saw one were they met these people from the future named the "Jetsons," and that's how I learned that "Eep opp ork ah-ah" means "I love you."

I want to know how they can explain human footprints and dino footprints side by side.

You ever notice how it's only the trolls trying to discredit Christians who ask inane questions like this and "why are there still monkeys?" it's never really the creationists...
