Just curious. I am a Catholic myself and believe in evolution and the old world theory, that the earth is billions of years old and that evolution is a tool used by God. So I am not attacking all Christians or even fundamentalists, but I want to examine from personal experiences and opinions how you came to conclude that dinosaurs and humans walked together.

They believe dinosaurs are included with all the other animals God created in Genesis, and they went extinct during the Global flood.

Actually, I've read some articles that they went extinct AFTER the flood. Noah had dinos on the ark according to some fundies.

Well they must have been miniature, pocket-sized dinosaurs on the Ark.
BTW, I agree with the OP - and I'm not even Catholic!

Then how come we don't find human (or modern animal) and dinosaur fossils in the same strata?

That question stumps the young earth creationists.

How did the OP become a Catholic? I assume it was because their church read the Bible? Well the Bible says that man and all animals were created the same week. Do I need any other reason to believe that man and dinosaurs walked on the earth together?

I do not believe in evolution of the atheist, which is natural selection, but I can accept that there is a divine selection of the life on the earth..... As far as the dinosaurs, you go the to Word of God in Genesis 19: 19-22.... And the evening and the morning of the fourth day..... And God said Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and the fowl that may fly above the earth in the firmament of heaven... And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind, and God saw that it was good . and God blessed them``...... See the dinosaurs and the fowl of the air are of the same kind of animals as reptiles and birds both have eggs before birth, both has similar bones like a raptor type animal..... so as you can see the dinosaur were created on the forth day what ever that day was..... Dinosaurs were Not on the ark of Noah because they were not alive on the earth for millions of years before any ark of Noah was around ......As you see the solar day of the Genesis creation may be legalism and literalism to believe ......

Well, according to creationists we do. Haven't you seen them show evidence of dinosaur footprints next to human foot prints?

Yes, we have such stupid "young earth" museums right here in the good ol' U.S.A. It makes us look like fools when the other nations see this kind of thing. I suppose we all have embarrassing relatives - that's the way it goes.
