The bible says that God created Adam & Eve; however, sciencetist say dinosaurs were around before humans. Is that why they're not mentioned in the Bible?

Dinosaurs were created first. God made all animals before Adam and Eve

God only included the things in the Bible that were important for us to know.. so there are a lot of things that happened in history, but aren't in the Bible because He didn't think we absolutely needed to know them. They could have been created before Adam & Eve and have been extinct by the time Adam & Eve were around.. Every "Day" when God created things could have actually been hundreds or millions of years, not necessarily a "Day" in human time, because time has no relevance to God :)

Well the Bible does say something about the dinosaurs in the book of Job (and in other places I believe) and if you read the story of Creation you will see that God first made the animals that live on the land and then He made the people, all on the 6th day.

Everything written in the bible is to teach us eternal lessons. The bible is not a history book. Therefore there are many events not mentioned due to it not being relevant to how we live our lives today.
Adam and Eve are talked about to teach us about temptation, and any other lessons that one can learn.
From the Dinosaur you learn what?
Relevance.............that's what the bible is all about!
So maybe Dinosaurs were created before humans but because it is irrelevant the Bible omits info on that.

Per the book of Genisis, God created the animals, then Adam, then Eve. Per the book of Job, which is the oldest book in the Bible, the writer mentions Behemoth, which has a tail like a cedar tree and Laviathan, which is a monster that lives in the sea. But, it depends on what you choose to believe. There is a lot of proof that humans exsisted with dinosauars, there is a famous petrified rock formation (look for it on the internet) that shows a dinosauar's foot prints right next to a humans. But, like I said, it's what you choose to believe. Research diligently.

There were no dinosaurs 5000 years ago when Adam and Eve were created. That is when we were created, that is why there are no dinosaurs in the Bible.

Because the bible is a book of mythology. MANY things lived on the earth long, long before the time that the characters in the bible were supposed to have existed. There are some good stories, and valuable lessons in that book but it wasn't written to be taken literally.

Well - the Word that was left for us to read did not mention dinosaurs - you have come across a good question - I believe it will only be answered when we meet God.

you're wrong concerning to the evolution of the earth. yet, sure God created all earths creatures before Adam and Eve. guy replace into his very final and crowning advent right here on the earth. once you're a Christian you may desire to understand that the Bible is the inspired understand God and that the Genesis account tells us that guy replace right into a right away advent with the aid of God, shaped from the dirt of the floor, no longer developed from decrease existence varieties. And in case you learn all the evidence particularly of accepting what "worldly sensible adult men" say it is somewhat glaring that their claims are fake and that God did certainly created all issues only because it describes interior the Bible account.

Dinosaurs were most likely created at the same time as all the other animals.
