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.
the Common misconseption that Dinosaurs are reptiles is way to common when to many things now point to warm blooded Creatures. Dinosaurs are Dinosaurs NOT reptiles!
it has been proven some footprints where forged. and your idea that Humans burned bodies etc.... still doesn't explain we have found no evidence of a settlement or any other animal fossils (like bears lions etc...)

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
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.
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? the ones from Australia and the antarctic are good examples)
so if dinosaurs where warm blooded that would mean birds haven't changed much at all(though this is Debated about birds being dinosaurs Most accept it now) (Keep up with Modern Books)
and I think as was mentioned Ancestors of Mammals(Mammals like reptiles) have got their own name or are going to right? they are not Reptiles either

schrafinator who where you talking to?
and compmage sorry about the Modern Book comment.
But in Walking with Dinosaurs there was leanosaurus(think thats the spelling) and Dwarf Allosaurus that they mentioned lived in the Cool climate.
Also Warm bloodedness is not the Only Reason they are seperating Dinosaurs from Reptiles. there are too Many differences that don't fit the Common Reptile features. 3 toes (I think is one of them) etc...
birds seem to fit very well with this Group and the Reason they can be considered Dinosaurs is Becouse they haven't had Much time to seperate from them (only 65 million years when dionsaurs ruled for 160) where as Mammals have had MUCH longer to Seperate from there Ancesters (Mammals Evolved the same time the first Dinosaurs did)
Mammal like reptiles(soon to have a another name.)Don't fit with Reptiles either. they think that these 2 Groups where Warm Blooded which would mean that Warm blood just Didn't happen when true Mammals and Birds came. Alot of things in the Dinosaur and Mammal like reptile Bones show Features in them that Only Warm Blooded animals seem to have.
