My greatest argument against evolution is, how come if the dinosaurs had 180 million years to evolve they didn't even create a basic machine with one moving part, or create societies, homes, and other such things that man has been able to do in 2 million years.
And I will be waiting for a picture of a sleestak.

It's "great arguments" like this that keep evolution firmly in place.
(Hint: Dinosaurs were reptiles for the most part. To date, no reptile has created a machine. They have, however, made "homes" so there goes part of your grand hypothesis.)

You're assuming that the goal of evolution is the rise of a sentient, tool-using species. You're viewing a scientific theory through the prism of what it's done for us humans.
But natural processes, like evolution, don't have a goal.
Dinosaurs were an incredibly succesful group of species that lasted for tens of millions of years and filled essentially every ecological niche available. the fact that they did not evolve into something humanlike doesn't in auny way undermine the Theory of Evolution.
