--------------------------------
in the bible it says at the beggining God created the earth the heavens and the universe, and the earth was coverd in darkness,maybe when God created the earth he started on the universe then years later he saw what earth had become darkness maybe that darkness is dinosaurs coverd with dinos, andthus ending the first age of earth then he created Man and it went on from their could this theory be true?

There is no scriptural room for different ages. The Bible is clear on this (thank God), the earth and all the universe and everything in them was created in six literal 24 hour days. The earth is about 6200 years old according to the Bible. The billions of years supposed by some members of the scientific community is just that, - supposition., nothing more.

Until the sun, moon, stars and seasons were created time was of God's choosing. Since God is really timeless who are we to say that those "days" before time was instituted had limits that we know as 24 hour periods. The only light during those days was God's light because the sun, moon, and stars were not yet in existence. Morning and evening were the terms God used to distinguish one day from another. I don't know why everybody thinks God is so limited that He couldn't have made those first days longer than periods of 24 hours. I certainly think God could have done it any way He saw fit. Obviously the dinosaurs were here. God talks about Leviathan in the Bible. I wish people would not be so closed minded about the vastness of God. I'm glad you are thinking about how big God is.

I choose to accept the Genesis account as it was written. Six literal days of creation. Dinosaurs were created along with the other animals. And yes, dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible, Job 40:15-24 and Job 41:1 - 10.

There are many animals that are not named in the Bible, but we are told that God created them all. (Maybe they missed Noah's boat for some reason?)
Keep in mind that cave dwellers drew pictures of themselves and dinosaurs/wooly mamoths/etc. If people and dinosaurs never saw each other - why would people draw those pictures? I think they existed at the same time, or at least overlapped.
The Bible said that a man's lifetime is the blink of an eye to God. It also says that we only see in part, we aren't supposed to know absolutely everything. I think the truth is a combination of God and evolution. God created everything and things slowly evolved to suit their environment as it changed - intelligent design. (But not ape into man, or why would we still have apes?)

Did not the bible says God created first animals before humans? Is it not dinosaurs are reptile, part of those animals God created first prior humans? I see no contradiction in this case to entertain new theory. But that was a good try.

I think it is possible. Our view of time is different than God's view of time. It says in the Bible (I can't remember if it was 1 Peter or 2 Peter) that a day is like 1000 in God's own view of time. The Bible says that God created the earth in six days. Each day may have just lasted a really, really long time.

well, no. but you are close. i think that it took god only 6 heaven days too finish the earth and man etc. etc., but god also says that i heaven day in heaven is about 1000 earth years. but at that time who knows how fast was rotating... its very possible when god made the creatures of the earth, over 10 million years could have past. in that dinosaurs could very well have evolved. then you also have to factor in the time adam and eve spent in the garden , which also followed heaven time, and there is no set date for how long they were in there. the earth could have possibly gone through mabe 20 million years before they got out, who knows. that's how i explain evolution in a christian society. MUAHAHA. the end

Possible. Remember God did make everything. But there is no definite timeline from God. So the dinosaurs could have been placed here. I am only saying this because I really do not know either.
God does things we have no clue about.

The Bible says everything was made in 6 days. What order is up for debate but the time-line is clear. Some debate whether the biblical six days is actual 6 days or metaphorical 6 days. I've always been of the mindset that it was literal 6 days.

light was created first then the earth was created. The dinosaurs all died during Noah's Ark and the flood. Evil minded people created the dinosaurs God did not create them that's why he did not save them from the flood.
