Did dinosaurs and man live at the same time?

Dinosaurs and man lived at the same time
- For the scientific community intelligent design represents creationism's latest grasp at scientific legitimacy. Accordingly, intelligent design is viewed as yet another ill-conceived attempt by creationists to straightjacket science within a religious ideology. But in fact intelligent design can be formulated as a scientific theory having empirical consequences and devoid of religious commitments. Intelligent design can be unpacked as a theory of information. Within such a theory, information becomes a reliable indicator of design as well as a proper object for scientific investigation. In my paper I shall (1) show how information can be reliably detected and measured, and (2) formulate a conservation law that governs the origin and flow of information. My broad conclusion is that information is not reducible to natural causes, and that the origin of information is best sought in intelligent causes. Intelligent design thereby becomes a theory for detecting and measuring information, explaining its origin, and tracing its flow.
- "...If the Bible is right (and it is!), dinosaurs must have lived within the past thousands of years... The Bible... makes it plain that dinosaurs and people must have lived together."

Dinosaurs and man did not live at the same time
Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for 140 million years, dying out (most likely due to an asteroid impact) 65 million years ago. Dinosaurs and Man never lived at the same time.
