One extremely common trait of creationists (especially the Young Earth variant) is that they are constantly arguing against the theory of evolution even though they have pretty much zero understanding of it.
The amount of misconceptions and false notions they have about said theory is just staggering, but here's one example: They constantly confuse the theory of evolution with paleontology (thinking that things that belong to the latter are part of the former.)
For example, they again and again claim that if we can prove that, let's say, dinosaurs did not go extinct 66 million years ago, that would somehow disprove evolution. Or that if it can be proven that some modern mammal species lived alongside dinosaurs, that would likewise disprove evolution.
This just shows a complete and fundamental misunderstanding of what the theory or evolution actually is. In general, to most creationists "the theory of evolution" encompasses pretty much all natural sciences, all the way from biology to paleontology to geology to astrophysics to cosmology.
In this particular example they are conflating paleontology with the theory of evolution.
The theory of evolution is simply a model that explains the natural mechanisms behind the diversification of life. It does in no way say when some particular species or clade lived, or when it went extinct, or which species or clades lived at the same time.
"Dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago" is not a claim that the theory of evolution makes. It simply does in no way belong to its field of study. The theory of evolution is completely unrelated to and independent of particular events in the history of the Earth. That's the domain of a completely unrelated field, namely paleontology.
It's a complete category error. It would be the same magnitude of error as saying that "if the Magna Carta can be proven as a hoax, then the printing press does not exist." That kind of statement would not make any sense. The printing press has absolutely nothing to do with whether some particular document is genuine or false. The two things are completely unrelated. This kind of statement would be an absolute category error and a non-sequitur.
"If dinosaurs did not go extinct 66 million years ago, then the theory of evolution is false" is the exact same kind of category error and non-sequitur. Those two things are completely unrelated to each other. One does not affect the other in any way, shape or form. They are not even talking about the same thing at all.
The theory of evolution takes no stance nor cares about when particular events happened during the history of life on Earth. It's simply an explanation of the mechanism that produces the diversity of life naturally.
