Dinosaurs are referred to in several books in the Bible. The book of Job describes two dinosaurs. One is described in chapter 40 starting at verse 15, and the other in chapter 41 starting at verse 1. I think you will agree that 1½ chapters about dinosaurs is a lot—since most people do not even realize that they are mentioned in the Bible. (Actually reading the Bible would help, though.)
It was prophecied 2,600 years ago in the Bible that God will not hide their bones, and i think you will agree that this prophecy has been fulfilled, correct?
“I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions. -Job 41-12

God came first. But remember that the Bible was written by man, not by God. The Bible probably doesn't mention dinosaurs specifically b/c they didn't know they existed then. God did create the heavens and the earth...and everything in it.
But no one can deny that dinosaurs existed. There is proof all over the place to back it up. Maybe God started out with the dinosaurs and decided later that that was not the way he wanted to go. So then he had a meteor destroy them, and created us instead. :-)

I have heard a thoery that Job 40:15-24 is a Biblical reference to dinosaurs. It speaks about the "Be'hemoth" (which some translations call a hippo) but in verse 17 in this section says "He makes his tail stiff like a cedar" (depending on the translation you are reading the words may differ) and the thing is a hippo's tail just aint that long...The description goes on to talk about living in the water, eating plants, (I've heard some say it was an aligator...but they don't eat plants as far as I'm aware...) and various other dinosaur like things. It also says in verse 19 that "He is the first of the works of God". There also was the flood in Noah's time which could have wiped em out too...theoretically speaking. Don't think they woulda fit on the boat though....

Dinosaurs are said to have existed millions of years before humans which seems to clash with Christianity BUT
The Hebrew word for day can also mean GENERATION or ERA so for all we know God could have created the world in 6 million years or something...we just don't know.

The truth is Marthia and the answerers, who can be seen or heard. Neither, God is visible, nor the Dinosaur and nor even the heaver or hell. So, why go after fictitious things as of present?

I just want to add something to ma_isa's answer. We are always talking about Gods 7 days and with church always being on Sundays we think of the 7 days in our time.
The truth is us going to church is sybolistic of Gods 7 days thats all. See a day to God could mean 1 trillion years to us. Think about it.
To prove this I will use a part of the Bible that most of us know. Jesus was on the cross and he said to one of the men that was also on a cross today you will be with me in paradise. If you look at it in our time it would make Jesus a liar. After Jesus died he went straight to Hell for 3 days. How can both of these statements be true if we go by our time?? They can't.
When Jesus said this day you will be with me in Heavan, he was talking Gods in terms of Gods days. Jesus going to Hell for 3 days was our time.

The "god created everything" view is supposed to be only philosophical. But really, it didn't happen that way. You're not supposed to take what's in the Bible for granted: you have to look for the message that's in the Bible. Very different
