Not to mention the relative strategraphic positioning of the rocks. In other words, the rocks which were laid down first (underneath others) are older than the ones on top; in every case, the fossils found in the older beds have been found to be older by various other dating methods.
ID'ers/YECs - show me just ONE example of a fossil of a modern human in the same sedimentary rock layer as a dinosaur, OR IN AN EARLIER LAYER, and I will admit you are right. Or the fossil of a T-rex with a modern animal in its jaws or gut, or a modern predator with the remains of a dinosaur. You won't find one.
How about a human's remains in the stomach of a T. rex? That would be nifty!

Fossil Dinosaur Prints Together with Human Prints
This photo from the Interactive Bible Site, shows a series of 14 left, right footprints with three- toed dinosaur tracks intersecting at 30 degrees.
"Believe it or not, dinosaur footprints, and the footprints of man, are found in the same strata, in the very same formation, in some cases only 18 inches apart, at a geological dig in Glen Rose, Texas, called the Paluxy River Bed. The ancient footprints of "man" at the site are found to be evenly spaced, and go under overhanging shale formations, continuing under the formations, and have been excavated.
Though the dino tracks (in the Paluxy River Bed in Glen Rose, Texas, for instance) are real, perhaps the human prints were later 'clever carvings' by Indians (who must have gotten around other states a lot).
Recent research, however, has shown that they CONTINUE under shale bulldozed away, and paleontologists like Dr. Camp of the University of California and Dr. G. Wescott of Ypsilanti, Michigan, have pronounced them genuine.
Scores of other similar finds have come in: human skulls in the Pliocene strata; pollen and anthropods in Pre-Cambrian layers; even pictographs of a dinosaur among other animals on ancient canyon walls, which would knock some 70 million years out of the geologic column" (Acts, p.15, June 1996).

When Jerry McDonald, a back-to-school geology student, first arrived at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces and gazed across the Mesilla Valley at the Robledo Mountains, he had no idea how many days of scorching heat he would soon be spending in their rocky arroyos
. The Robledos have always been a fossil hunter's paradise, but it wasn't long before MacDonald became convinced that in the excitement of finding Permian fossils, the greatest secret of the Robledos had been overlooked.
Many collectors had found an occasional fossil footprint - a track. But what if an entire trackway - a series of footprints - could be uncovered? The scintific knowledge that can be gleaned from a trackway discovered in place is infinitely more valuable than a random footprint on a rock which may have been washed down an arroyo and deposited millions of years out of geologic context.
MacDonald tenaciously found and uncovered not just one, but hundreds of trackways.
Then came the quest for vindication by the nation's leading museums, the web of political intrigue which wrapped around government agencies and local naysayers, and the inevitable cries of "fraud".
In the end, the MacDonald trackway discovery was recognized by the Smithsonian and Carnegie museums as the most significant Permian discovery in North America, yielding voluminous data about the creatures that lived along the then tropical shores of the great Southwest ocean 50 million years before dinosaurs roamed the land.
