Okay, lets recap on the topic issues.
In your first post you said:

God created every kind of all the animals at one time, also humans were created then too. So according to the Bible I believe that Adam and Eve and others walked with the dinosaurs. My thought on how they became extinct is when the flood happened.
When confronted with the evidence of layers in the geological record not supporting this view you said:

Ok first i havent looked closely at the fossil record but just because they arent in the same layer doesnt meant they didnt die at the same time. I dont believe that the fossil record is in chronological order. Layers could have been shifted up and down to jumble things a bit. Like i said its been a while since i was in biology
You acknowledged that you had not "looked closely" at the things you asserted in your post, and then proceeded to make another similar assertion on the chronology. This too was challenged, with a (proper) thread provided to pursue this matter, but so far this has not been attemped.

Whereupon you made another post:

"Feel free to believe that the sun orbits the earth. What you believe is irrelevant to the issue of what the evidence shows."
Exactly. There is no evidence for neo darwinistic evolution.
And now when that assertion is challenged you post:
Yes thanks for saying that. I guess I shouldnt be so dogmatic about there isnt evidence for evolution even though I still dont believe it.
It appears that you have a pattern of making unsubstantiated and unsupportable assertions that are based on nothing more than your belief, and making no effort to determine their validity before making the assertions.
As far as your belief goes, I again repeat that you are free to believe whatever you want - that the sun orbits the earth and that the earth is only 6000 years old - the real question is what evidence you deny as true to maintain that belief, or whether you are ready to accept facts that contradict your beliefs.
Just because they say it it in Scientific Journals doenst make it true.
Of course not. But when {experiments\predictions\results} are {validated\repeated\confirmed} by other scientists then it becomes rather impertinent to hand-wave the results away, especially without doing any studies that show how the results are wrong. This is what the scientific process is about -- eliminating mistakes step by step as more information is aquired.
In my biology textbook last year they were putting lots of things that have been proven untrue.
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest for three reasons:
(1) High School biology textbooks are known to contain errors in part due to publication problems and in part due to influence on the publishers from non-scientists (parents, politicians),
(2) Science marches onward, so things that were theorized before as the best explanation get invalidated, and new theories arise to explain the changes (this is how relativity replaced newtonian physics), as theories can ONLY be shown false and never "proved" and
(3) I suspect that the "lots" is another of your assertions based on your beliefs and that a number of these things if listed would be shown as valid.
Certainly it saddens me that our schools present false information to our students, but this is off-topic here.
This would actually make a wonderful thread topic (Randman tried something like it, but didn't have a textbook to use for a source of published errors). If you still have your textbook you could start a topic taking these items one by one. I'm sure that if you call it "Biology Textbook Errors" - and keep it to one (perceived) error at a time - that the admins will promote it (Is It Science would be the appropriate forum eh?).
I was just saying there is no evidence that one animal turned completely into another. Scientists have been bombarding fruit flys with radiation for years and what do they get. A different type of fly or insect? NO just more mutatated messed up fruit flys.
Oh dear. Another PRATT. This is really getting off-topic here too (Humans walked with dinosaurs). I'm sure this has been addressed previously on this forum on other threads - perhaps one of the admins can find a good fit for further discussion.
Speciation has been observed outside the labs. See the {Imported weed diversification supports macro-evolution} for and example of speciation (but not "macro"evolution as claimed):

EvC Forum: Imported weed diversification supports macro-evolution
To sum up:
No substantiated evidence that humans walked with dinosaurs has been presented yet on this thread.
The {geological\paleontological} evidence that this did NOT happen has not been addressed in any way that would invalidate the logical conclusion that all (large non-bird) dinosaurs died out well before any humans (or for that matter apes (or for that matter monkeys)) existed on this earth.
This is NOT a matter involving evolution, per se, but the geological and fossil evidence.
Enjoy.
