Man and dinosaurs do so coexist! I feed my dinosaurs Everyday! and Collect Eggs. and they Cluck at me! (if you haven't Guessed I a talking about Chickens) Birds are now considered a type of Dinosaur.

Unless I am seriously mistake, bird are NOT considered dinosaurs. Birds are thought to have evolved from reptiles. There is still some debate as to if these reptiles were dinosaurs or not.

I'm not sure this is entirely accurate.

I wasn't aware that the issue had been entirely decided.

However, just as humans are not reptiles even if we descended from them, chickens (birds) are not dinosaurs, even if they descended from them.

You're right, of course. The issue hasn't been definitively decided - and maybe never will without a much better fossil assemblage. I just wanted to point out that it appears the weight of evidence is swinging back toward the dino-bird linkage rather than as you stated, the reptile-bird linkage.

I should have been more clear. I inteded to say that there is still debate about wheather birds evolved from dinosaurs or another reptile group.

I admit it was a weak joke, but damn! Take it a little lighter, will you?

I admit to being in a hurry and not reading the proceeding posts. I didn't realize this was ment as a joke. I appologize.

Under Cladism groups include all the descendants of that group

Would that mean that man is both a reptile and a fish?

Under modern Classification Birds are a type of Dinosaur. Most people Agree.
and the comment about Man being both Fish and Reptile is pretty Dumb(no offence)You know what he meant

Yes, I was just wondering what this would do the the creationist 'kinds' argument. "Man and fish are different!". Ah, but they are actually the same 'kind'. Fish.

DC85 writes:

Birds have changed little from Dinosaurs is the reason they are considered to Be Dinosaurs. and Further information Dinosaurs are also no longer considered reptiles they are Dinosaurs. so Dinosaurs are dinosaurs. alot of evidence points to them being warm blooded.

If dinosaurs are now thought to have been warm blooded they would have to be seperated from reptiles since being cold blooded is a retilian trait.

The Misconception that all Dinosaurs lived in Tropical areas needs to be put to rest Because many where found in colder climates(even then have you watched Walking with Dinosaurs?

Yes, I loved that program. Although I do remember that the did focus on some creatures that were not dinosaurs.

(Keep up with Modern Books)

You have no idea how expensive this is in my country. I can feed my family for a month on what it will cost to by just one of these books. I simply can't afford to by them and the local library takes forever to obtain them. I do the best I can given my circumstances but I am more than willing to admit that there is alot I don't know.
