There are literally thousands of examples of ancient art showing man lived with dinosaurs. There is art from Babylonia showing what we used to call a Brontosaurus, I forget the modern name. This is very likely the Behemoth described in Job with a tail like a cedar tree that drank up rivers. Job also described the Leviathan, that sounds like some tremendous sea creature. Most scholars believe Job the oldest book in the Bible because of his long lifespan (Job 42:16). It is probable Job lived well over 200 years and lived not long after the flood.
But all over the world there is ancient artwork and literature about huge dragons that once roamed the earth, many killed by man himself. There have been found the footprints of man and dinosaurs found preserved together in several different locations.
Google "Ica Stones" to see photos of thousands of ancient stones found in South America with detailed carvings of dinosaurs, even showing that some were tamed and ridden by man!
So, there is much evidence, even in the Bible that man lived with dinosaurs.

Telling people to google something is a bad idea if the first hit immediately exposes your entire argument as bullshit.
Looks like the Ica Stones were made by Peruvian locals interested in making a bit of money on the side, selling forged artifacts to clueless tourists.
No, there simply isn't. Besides, artwork is not evidence at all otherwise we'd believe there were unicorns and dragons and goat-footed flute touting creatures out there.
The nail in your creationist coffin is that nowhere on this planet have animals ever been found fossilized out of chronological order. No bunnies in the Jurassic.
Oh, and Google "ica stones" and "hoax". The damn thing were carved with a dentists drill. They are all obvious forgeries.
Damn, but you creationists fall for shit like that all the time. Would you like to buy a piece of Noah's Ark?
Man certainly lived with very large animals only a few thousand years ago. Still more thousands than your Bible suggests, but recent in geological time. And whales are still pretty leviathany today. Maybe that explains your "evidence".
PS The Paluxy tracks are bunk .

Ancient art =/= historical documentation.

No, it's not.

Ica Stones are carved by modern artists & sold to tourists.
Art is not evidence. The Bible is evidence of coexistence with dinosaurs, just as much as The Chamber of Secret is evidence of the existence of basilisks.
Nope, I won't be googling "Ica stones". ICA is a large food-store chain in Sweden; I guess I will get mostly links to them. They do sometimes sell stones with detailed carvings on them, though. The carvings mostly say things like "Love", "Take it easy" and "Anna", "Helena", "Maria" etc.

It's pretty unlikely, but so what? Man lived with coelacanths, too, although we didn't know it until 1938, when one was found alive and healthy after apparently having vanished along with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
No, there is only artwork that vaguely resemble dinosaurs if you squint your eyes and tilt your head.
And the Ica Stones are a hoax.
"There is art from Babylonia showing what we used to call a Brontosaurus, I forget the modern name. This is very likely the Behemoth described in Job with a tail like a cedar tree that drank up rivers."
In context, the "tail" is it's fucking dick! Sure as fuck doesn't sound like a Brontosaurus, does it? (pro-tip... best fit is an elephant)
Most scholars believe Job the oldest book in the Bible because of his long lifespan (Job 42:16).
Really, then why is Job written in a post-exile Hebrew dialect that is heavily influenced by Aramaic, making it one of the younger books?
Oh wait, I forgot, you can't know that because you only read the Bible in God's own KJV.
Why don't the fundies bother learning Biblical Hebrew? It's not really very difficult.
If I believed art always reflected reality, I'd believe in a bipedal elephant with 4 arms riding on a rat or blonde men with wings playing harps in the clouds. I understand that knowing the difference between reality and fantasy is almost impossible for a fundie, but the rest of the world can do it. You should try to keep up.
"This is very likely the Behemoth described in Job with a tail like a cedar tree that drank up rivers."
Job 40:15-18, "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly . He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron."
According to the KJV, behemoth had a navel, hence must be a placental mammal, not an oviparous dinosaur.

Just because something was written in a language contemporary with other writings in the Tanakh doesn't mean Job isn't the oldest book in the Hebrew Fairy Tale.
Based on certain thing that are and AREN'T in Job, scholars know the book is from the patriarchal or pre-patriarchal era. For instance, Job still makes sacrifices himself, rather than having the priests do it. That is definitely pre-Torah.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
