The word "dinosaur" means "terrible lizard". Go to your local pet store and get the ugliest lizard they have. Bring it home and show it to your wife and say "Honey, look what I got for you". If she responds with "Get that terrible lizard out of here!", then you have confirmed that dinosaurs are indeed alive today.

They say they do. I've even watched vids of pterodactyls that people have captured on film and stuff. I find the vids highly questionable because, well, photoshop and computers and stuff nowadays means you can't really trust what you see.
But they could I guess. Prolly deep in the jungle somewhere if they do.

Birds are basically living dinosaurs. 
Also, Crocodiles and alligators didn't evolve from dinosaurs. Reptiles arose around the carboniferous period. Dinosaurs appeared around the Triassic.

Well it's not a hippo, that for sure. Not with a tail like a cedar. More like a brontosaurus.

I thought dinosaurs were reptiles.

Then how come Mammals didn't also go extinct? And how come birds didn't start to crop us until after the sharp decline in dinosaur species? Heck why does their only seem to by only small mammals where we find dinosaur remains? Then were we don't find large dinosaurs we find large mammals and birds?

Dinosaur Graveyard Is More Evidence of Noah’s Flood
http://creationtoday.org/dinosaur-graveyard-is-more-evidence-of-noahs-flood/
What about the Dinosaurs?
http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/FAQ25.html
Figure 220: Probably Not a Plesiosaur. This 32-foot-long “monster,” caught by a Japanese fishing ship off the coast of New Zealand in 1977, was unfortunately thrown overboard shortly after this picture was taken. The animal made front-page news for weeks in Japan. Several Japanese scientists felt that it was a plesiosaur, and a Japanese postage stamp seemed to commemorate the discovery of the first modern plesiosaur. In the 6th edition (1995) of this book, this animal was incorrectly labeled as a “possible plesiosaur.” Later, after reading English translations of opinions of other Japanese scientists and seeing similar pictures of decaying basking sharks, it seems more likely that this was a large basking shark.3 Decay patterns near the shark’s head give the appearance of a neck. My apologies for the error.

My answer is the flood too. There have been old pictures and carvings of dinosaurs found and even mans footprints beside dino prints. So I do think that we used to live with them, and that they died in the flood.

And remember man ore beast did not eat meat until Genesis 9, so they wouldn't have been a threat to us.

The article is not that good. Especially when you notice it credits the known charlatan and outright liar and con artist Kent Hovind. A man who is currently sitting in jail because he ran a fraudulent business that he tried to claim was a church. Add in the fact that most of Hovend's resume is either exaggerated lies or twisted smoke screens. His only degree is from a diploma mill.
To address the article directly. The reason why " the Flood" isn't taken into consideration is because the "flood" theory has way to many problems explaining how its even possible, a complete lack of evidence that it happened world wide, and the fact that competing theories have working models and evidence on their sides. Societies that existed around when the "flood" happened don't seem to have any record of it.
Lewis, let me explain something. The article seems to only sprinkle in a few "facts" and then goes widely off course to talk about ideas that aren't centered around any real data. The article doesn't mention that most of those 500 Dinosaurs didn't all live around the same time period. There are roughly 3 Eras that Dinosaurs were major organisms in. The Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous Period. So a big chunk of the most popular dinosaurs have actually been extinct for almost 144 Million years, not just 60. The Trex and Triceratops has been extinct about 60. The Stegosaurus has been gone about 200 Million years and so has the Brontosaurus. How do we know this? Paleontologists consistently find the remains of these organisms in the same rock layers that date to that time period.
The flood theory puts way to much of a gamble that all organisms would have to always fall into the same sediment layers all over the world and conveniently that no wrong organisms every fall into the wrong ones.
Isn't it quite convenient that the corpse was just thrown away like that? Also, isn't it funny that the shadows on that corpse also happen to be opposite of how the shadows fall on everything else?

The flood theory? The flood happened alright Jesus said it took them "all away" in..
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
