Not that they existed there is evidence of that but that they lived millions of years ago and not hundreds or thousands.
Oh and if your are going to claim a textbook please be specific with title, author or publisher
example: The Holy Bible, NKJV publisher Thomas Nelson Publishers.

Like it would be difficult to cite books about dating fossils. Here is an article explaining it with a link to bibliography at the bottom.

A few of the myths that had been created in old civilizations have been a effect of them discovering the fossils of dinosaurs and extinct prehistoric creatures and them imagining what the creature would seem like. They had no science or expertise that these bones they had been finding have been countless numbers or millions of years historical. So they made ip stories to help provide an explanation for things they did not understand. Science is your friend, not your enemy!
The fossils of dinosaurs that existed millions of years ago. Radiometric dating and stratification of geological layers among other things can be used to date them.
Logic helps too. If dinosaurs had coexisted with early humans, there'd be no humans. We are, in the animal world, naked(hairless), slow, and tasty little apes.
Radiometric Dating.
In this case, telling you to go back to 5th grade wouldn't be belittlement, but legitimate advice.
Besides, I like your whole tone of "Well if dinosaurs weren't here millions of years ago, then that means they were here thousands of years ago!", as if somehow disproving that dinosaurs aren't that old would give any credibility to the young earth myth
You can age fossils through various methods, including radiometric dating, potassium-argon dating, and biostratigraphy. These same methods are are used to date hominid bones, ancient human remains, and ancient artifacts.
Radiometric dating.
simple we look at how far down the bones are buried and compare that to the number of years it would take to be down that far and we get the estimated age of the bones its not always accurate but we don't have much to work with really
"Evolutionists what evidence do you have that dinosaurs existed millions of years ago?"

I read an article in National Geographic that said one third of supposed dinosaur species never even existed.
