tk, you're getting there, but.
" I think that dinosaurs and man lived together"
Not true. Mammals and dinosaurs co-existed. Precursors to man, but not Homo Sapiens (or even Homo Erectus). The CNN article refutes the common belief that early mammals did not prey on dinosaurs.
" And my idea is that the Judeo-Christian God (as I am an agnostic) does not exist due to the fact of the recent developments in science as there is no need to go back to God for the "God did it" hypothesis because the reasoning for such was to explain the complexity of life, but as we have observed, there is no need for a Creator, but rather human's intellectual pursuits of how everything got here."
Sloppy reasoning, here. Science has no bearing on religion. They are seperate frames of reference. (Physical and philosopical) You have actually cast off the idea that Creationism is valid due to scientific discoveries and arguements based on established phenomenon. I think some other motivator within you helped you choose the path of agnosticism. There is no need for a Creator's input to the mechanism of evolution. Evolution doesn't even discuss how life generated on this miserable rock we call Earth. It only discusses mechanisms of change and states that (with supporting evidence) species change over time. Abiogenesis is the study of life arising from non-life.
You are getting better and show quite a command of some basic concepts. Hopefully these small corrections will help you in further discussions. The statement concerning Creationism/belief is my own opinion based on the context in which your statements appear.
