A portion of the linked video mentioned that a portion of the bible mentions a dinosaur, proving that dinosaurs and men coexisted.
The scripture cited, Job 40:15-24, says: "15 "Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on the grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him. When a river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth. Can anyone capture him by the eyes and pierce his nose?"
Sounds a hell of a lot like a crocodile (hidden among the reeds in the marsh); even the bible from which I just copied that adds in a footnote that the author is probably describing a hippopotamus or an elephant. The scripture in no way suggest that the creature is necessarily a dinosaur. It could have been among dozens if not hundreds of creatures alive at the time the story was written. I call bullshit on the anti-evolution guy

The Evangelical War on Science 
I just got finished watching Alexandra Pelosi's Friends
of God documentary on HBO and was taken aback at what has become
an increasing trend among American christianists.
This particular part on evangelicals and evolution (and what they teach
their children about the science of evolution) was very disturbing.
The "secular progressive" War on Christmas has nothing on the
evangelical War on Science.

Glenn Greenwald has a post on evangelical religious beliefs that ties in nicely:
[ ]But beyond that, one does not need to go searching for isolated British Muslim doctors in order to find examples of the lives of children being endangered due to the religious beliefs of adults. Merck, among other pharmaceutical companies, developed a highly effective vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV) by far the leading cause of cervical cancer in women but an entire American political movement called "social conservatism" has been desperately trying to prevent its widespread approval or at least persuade parents not to have their daughters vaccinated because HPV is a sexually transmitted disease and they therefore believe that a vaccine will be seen as an endorsement of premartal sex..
