There are certain passages in the Bible that is hard to explain and it need scientific evidence to proved that. The creation in Genesis 1:1 is commonly called the dateless pass. How long it last, nobody knows because the Bible is silent on this.
However, let us not loose sight on this because Moses and other prophets like Ezekiel, Isaiah saw in a vision of the civilization that was created before Adam and Eve. And this civilization according to some is a perfect civilization which was ruled by Lucifer (now called Satan). It was destroy by water (the earth was totally submerge in water) in the first place.
By examining the facts in Genesis 1:2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
How can God creation was without form and void in the first time he created it. It is impossible isn't it? My conclusion is that, this giant creatures whom God created was not in the time of Adam and Eve, but in the dateless pass (the first creation). God destroyed the first civilization thought waters, because of Lucifer rebellion against God of which he is the first pseudo leader of the earth when it was first created.
Therefore, these dinosaurs could probably existed in Lucifer time. The creation narrrative is but the re-creation of the earth which was destroyed by water the first time it was created.

The Bible says nothing specifically about cats; does that mean that the Bible isn't accurate, or is it the case that they just never came up in discussion?
Of course, it may not be that the Bible doesn't mention them. It doesn't use that word, which was not coined until the 1800's, but there are dinosaur-like animals mentioned in Job - the behemoth and the leviathan.
Some people try to call these a hippo and a crocodile. Neither one comes close the Biblical description.

Well, for starters because the word "Dinosaur" wasn't even invented until the 1800's. Until then, "Dinosaurs" were called "Dragons" ...
However, "Leviathan" and "Behemoth" are mentioned, and many scholars believe them to be dinosaurs. The description of "Behemoth" in the book of Job closely resembles the Brontosaurus (at least some say).
Oh, and God made Creation in six days, not seven.
One more point: just because something wasn't mentioned in the Bible (or any other single book for that matter) does not mean it didn't exist.

Read Genesis 1:28
King James Version
why does it say REplenish the earth??
If there was no pre- Adamaic race then how does one see the cromagnom man?? And why in Jeremiah 4:22-23 does the prophet record this conversation and this vision. Could not the vision be of the past and why the earth was made without form and void.

The Bible mentions a few different Behemoths (giant beasts of land and sea). Most people take those to be dinosaurs. I'm sure they wouldn't have called them dinosaurs. You should look into things before you make claims.
A lot of people don't take 7 days to mean 7 literal days. In any faith system there are gray areas. The book was written about 4,000 years ago.

In the Bible it says, For God one day is like thousand years and thousand years is like a day..
And yes my friend in Job, there is a mention of an animal so much like a dinosaur.
And why do the Bible will bother, with animals that were extinct.
If you read Genesis, very well, you will notice, that this creation was the second one!

Sorry to dissapoint you friend, but the King James Version of the Bible, the official Bible which all Christians should be using was finished in 1611, the word "Dinosaur" wasn't even a real word untill 1844.
Please search the bible for the word Leviathon, Dragon, and Behemoth, there may even be more, and look to how they are described (sometimes dragon is only used as a describing word).
I beleive dinosaurs existed and I am a Christian.

um, dinosaurs are animals. firstly, if you read the bible, it doesnt say the world was created in seven days. it says 'in the beginning...'. and the part where he does talk about that is when it says 'let the earth produce all kinds of animal life: domestic and wild, large and small'. this means that included in that was dinosaurs. in the children's bible, that would have happened on the sixth day. just because the bible doesnt specifically say 'dinosaurs' in it, doesnt necessarily mean that it fails to mention them, as it talks about animals as a whole.

Many believe that those big lizards were around before man.
I say that they existed with man.
While the dinosaurs were on this earth, there was one climate.
Up until the 40 days and 40 nights of rain, no rain fell on the earth, and in fact, many laughed at Noah because they did not have a concept of rain.
I believe that instead of millions of years, and ice age, it was the flood that took out these giants, and science, in order to show fault on religion, falsified its carbon data.
The bible, and earths history is accurate.
It is the design of man, and his pen, with history that changes it.
