DINOSAURS WILL COME AGAIN
Absurd and reasonable reasons why dinosaurs may be resurrected:

DINOSAURS WON'T COME AGAIN
Creative and uncreative reasons why dinosaurs will be left dead.

THE DINOSAURS ARE ALREADY HERE
There is always the possibility that dinosaurs are already here! Some scientists argue that dinosaurs are still present, simply evolved into different forms, birds and crocodiles being two examples of the descendants of the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, part of the definition of the dinosaur is that they were present during the Mesozoic era. Thus, dinosaurs are not present today. :(
THUS,
We have (through a couple of fistfights) agreed that dinosaurs will not resurface on the earth (although really, the Voldemort option seems very plausible). Our reasons include that by definition, even if the dinosaurs were to re-evolve, they would not be dinosaurs as we have defined them to be. As well, the conditions must be perfect for dinosaurs to re-evolve and Earth has changed greatly since the Mesozoic era. And of course, as per the rules of evolution, the adaptations necessary for dinosaurs to evolve only appear to be advantageous in natural selection when there is a need to them, and the traits for an animal to become a top predator is unnecessary as humans already occupy and overflow that niche. In short, in our opinion, it would take another mass extinction for dinosaurs to re-evolve. Thus, it is vaguely possible, but highly improbable.
Although it would be fascinating and cool to see a triceratops up close, it would be much less fascinating and cool to the triceratops, who wouldn't be too happy about sharing the earth with the humans. However, there is always the possibility that you, dear site-viewer, really hoped that dinosaurs would re-evolve. If that is the case, we are sorry for disappointing you with our high school knowledge, and wish you better luck in your crazy dreams.
