No. Dinosaurs lived long before Adam.
In gen 1 we see that God created the heavens and the earth. In gen 2 we see that the earth was without form and void and dark. We know from Peter that God would not create something void and ruined. God creates things perfect and without flaws. Therefore, something happened between verses one and two--God masked it and it requires a special eye to see it in scripture. That is where dinosaurs come into the picture. That gap, that missing information between verse 1 and verse 2, is where dinosaurs and whatever else scientists are digging up, come into the picture.
When God made Adam, notice he had to separate the water from the land because the earth was flooded and ruined!!! He was restoring. Not creating but restoring the earth to something habitable, for what He was about to do. God created the earth long, long before He created Adam and Eve.
The creatures living on this planet, long before Adam, were killed by God as a result of God's wrath on Satan. After it's destruction, God let the earth sit for a very long time...perhaps billions of years? Then, at a certain point, the perfect point, he restored the earth...and created Adam and Eve. That is why we have and use fossil fuel. The dinosaurs not only died, but rotted for a long long time enough to give us fuel. Also, notice God put a lot of those dinosaurs in the Middle East...and let them die there...God rules the chess board. God's plan was long, long before Adam.
The earth is far older than 6000 years old. But Adam and Eve go back to around the 6000 year marker.
Lesson? Simple. The world thinks they get it? Sure, they are intelligent...compared to apes and elephants perhaps. But mankind is very foolish before God. Truth is, there is a difference between wisdom and knowledge. The world can put a rocket on the moon, but spiritually??? they cannot dress themselves.
Bigger lesson: DO NOT FCUK WITH GOD.

No, the story of creation wasn't proven to be true so we consider it a myth. The bible was written under the inspiration of the holy spirit but they didn't dictate the words to the writers of the bible who are human authors. This authors (biblical writers) use all common literary devices such as folklore, myth, poetry so we must not look at the bible as a historical book.
The religious message of the bible is what we must look at for the religious message contains no error nut the historical facts in the bible arent accurate. The message is what we must focus on not what it literaly says.
There for we were'nt created during the time of dinosaurs. I think they were created on either the paleazoic or mesozoic era, and we were created during the cenozoic era. (Wow this is my lesson in school now) !!! Hope you get my point.

it could be that the "man" spoken of in the bible is not speaking of all people on the planet. if you trace back the timeline thru genesis it is roughly 4000 BC when "man" was created. that is also about the same time history finds evidence of the anglo/saxon and cauccasion races. in all other races you can trace their historys back much much longer. even in genesis when Able killed his brother Cain, it speaks of him being an outcast and him and his wife go and start a city (where did these people come from unless they were already here) it does speak of the heathen people and those could be the ones that have been around for much much longer. now whom those people are today i have no clue. but just a bit of info to toss out there.... maybe someone can sort it out a bit more.

No, according to the bible, he created the animals first. Then he decided Earth needed man. It wasn't the next day...the 7 day thing is not realistic. It was just a story, a way to help people at that time understand their place in the world. Now we have science!

No, that's just silly, dinosaurs died out 65 million years before humans ever existed. There is no evidence at all that humans co-existed with dinosaurs.

The bible is full of analgy and metaphor, maybe 6 is a metaphor for 4.5 billion years/7 days ; 4.5 billion/ 6 days?

Probably. The reason you don't find their footprints fossilized together is that people figured out early how dangerous they were and spread the word to avoid them.

No. The bible is just a story not to be taken literally.
