what evidence is there that humans and dinasours didn't exist together?

Yes! There was a series of television documentaries about this fact. I believe it was called the "Flintstones".

Nope.
The last dinosaurs (unless you count birds, which are still around) became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, around 65.5 million years ago.
The first human-like primates (Homo habilis) appeared around 2 million years ago, and the first Homo sapiens appeared 250,000 years ago.

Edit:
Evidence for no co-existance of dinosaurs and humans would be things like: lots of dinosaur fossils, and no human fossils of equivalent age (in fact, few mammal fossils of equivalent age, and *no* "higher mammal" fossils). And by the time you get higher mammal fossils (and eventually proto-human fossils), dinosaur fossils are nowhere to be seen.
Such fossils can be dated by either their geological positioning (the further down you go, the older the fossils), or by radioisotope dating; the results for the two back each other up nicely.

can you spot any ancient civilization on this earth drawing pictures of dinosaurs in caves or rocks ? Humans were drawing only goats, cows etc.
Before asking any such questions, just find out the time period of various species that originated on this earth.

No. Learn your history from something other than TV shows.
