The dinosaurs never died out and went extinct? How different (if at all) would the world be today?

...then I'd need more than one 5 gallon bucket to store the jerky in after hunting season?

T Rex would rule the world, and humans would be extinct.
We would have a very different range of domesticated animals.
Hunters would make the agresive dinosaurs extint in similar ways to the extintion of wolves, bears, lions and tigers from many areas of the world.

Besides the Romans hunting them for arena games, the twenties and forties and beyond would have hunted them to extinction. People would have had to have dinosaur eggs for breakfast.
There was no animal conservation until the Seventies.

The only reason mammals increased and diversified, was that dinosaurs died out, and made the appearance of things like horses, bears and humans possible. That asteroid was an important thing in creation.
The effect of divine providence is not only that things should happen somehow, but that they should happen either by necessity or by contingency. Therefore, whatsoever divine providence ordains to happen infallibly and of necessity happens infallibly and of necessity; and that happens from contingency, which the divine providence conceives to happen from contingency
St. Thomas Aquinas Summa theologiae

Dinosaurs were just one step in preparing the earth for man. Once their mission was accomplished, they were replaced by the next phase of the process.

Alright, makes sense, but how?
A big rock from space zapped the dinosaurs. Making room for mammals. The dinosaurs had already finished their job of smoothing out the earth with their big paws.

If that's really the case then I wonder what the earth looked like before that happened.
Only problem is the enormus assumptions that have to be swallowed inorder to believe inlong ages and evolution.

Prior to the flood one large continent and post flood not that much difference from what we have now.

I'm not sure that I quite understand what you're getting at here.
What it means, is that God can effect His will by random events just as easily as He can do it by deterministic means.

Fortunately, no assumptions required. The evidence is entirely sufficient.

Sorry but there is no evidence of any creature evolving into another.
Every time I say this the only evidence I am offered is of a creature changing into the same form it already is. Birds remain birds, dogs stay dogs, fish stay as fish.
If the evidence is sufficient please show me it?
