Did dinosaurs and humans coexist?

No. They narrowly missed each other on the evolutionary timescale. In this case, narrowly means about 65,000,000 years. Contrary to some creationist theories you may have uncovered if you searched for this exact term in any search engine, there is a preponderance of evidence against their claims.

In short, modern humans appeared on Earth about 25,000 years ago. Compare that to when the dinosaurs became extinct, and you’ll find that’s a difference of more than three orders of magnitude. That’s huge in the statistical world.

If you’ve got a few minutes, do a quick YouTube search on this question and you’ll be amazed that there is still any debate on this topic.
