Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church where they worshipped Jesus.
Duh.
Seriously, though, you will get 3 kinds of answers:
1) Religious kooks who deny dinosaurs or believe man was walking with T-rex like some kind of Land of the Lost playset
2) Atheistic types who dispute the Bible's validity with varying levels of condescension
and
3) Perceptive, rational people who do not confuse their science and religion and probably cry inside every time the first two go at it like rabid wolves.

Genesis mentions a time when giants walked the earth. Dinosaurs became extinct about 25 million years ago and the Gulf of Mexico is probably where the asteroid landed. Maybe that's about 10 minutes ago in God time. We can't be sure.

If I were a person of Faith I would not question the omniscience or onimpotence of God. God is all powerful, all knowing and as a result it is not for us "limited" beings to know that which is all-powerful and all-knowing because we are not capable of it. It is not for us to know the "ends" of things designed by such a being. So, dinosaurs may have a purpose that is as yet unrevealed. And, I would be interested to know who decided that a God day is 24 hours long. Sometimes when you get these sort of questions and you really want to know the answer you need to go back to the original texts in their original language and see if a word or a sentence has been translated correctly, becasue often they are not. What if a God-day is an eon long. That would allow for evolution wouldnt it. Maybe you should take the advice of JWs seriously regarding research and go ask a rabbi what the word is in the original Hebrew and see if that helps. I am sure that they wouldnt mind discussing it with you provided you approach them with respect.

It is highly possible that this happened long before God created Adam. The Muslim belief (and some Christian interpretations) is that God's creation was not in days, but in phases. Man (Adam) was the last creation. If these phases had taken thousands of years, is it not possible that dinosaurs were extinct before man came about?

"a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day to the lord." do not mistake theological theory for scripture, and do not mistake scientific theory for fact. Dinosaurs became extinct when they became extinct. the fossil record proves they were real, and the written record proves Jesus is real.

Can you believe that there are many xtians who think that dinosaur fossils were "planted" to test their faith? Ha! Most of them discount the evidence, because they're too afraid to allow some truth to leak into their narrow minds.

In the book of Job there are descriptions of large animals that roamed the earth with man...i believe that they were also in the Ark with Noah. I think man simply killed them off the way we usually do!!
