Something "large" =/= dinosaur. There were extremely large, monster-like animals that weren't dinosaurs on earth up until very recently(in earth's timeline, that is).

You are closer to the truth than you realize.
In Hebrew, these "giants" are called the Nephilim. Many scholars believe the root word is "nepil" meaning "rejects" and so brings the traditional belief they were some sort of fallen angels. This is wrong.
The root word for Nephilim is "nephesh" meaning creature. The Nephilim were a speices of creature created by God during the creation of the earth. According to the reading in Hebrew, these nephilim existed in that time (Gen 6) but had nothing to do with mankind, the sons of God, or the daughters of men.
We see them again in the book of Numbers briefly and in the book of Job. Today we see their evidence in the dinosaur fossils that have been uncovered. This is the only biblical way of explaining dinosaurs since major religions have no answers for the bones we dig up.

No, they were human or a mixed breed of human and fallen angels.
Gen_6:4
Two classes of men, with strong hand and strong will, are here described. “The giants,” the well-known men of great stature, physical force, and violent will, who were enabled by these qualities to claim and secure the supremacy over their fellow-men. “Had been in the land in those days.” In the days when those intermarriages were beginning to take place, the warriors were asserting the claim of might. Violence and rapine were becoming rampant in the land. “And after that.” The progeny of the mixed marriages were the second and subsequent class of leading men. “The sons of God” are here contradistinguished from the “nephilim, or giants,” who appear therefore to have belonged to the Cainites. The offspring of these unhallowed unions were the heroes, the gallants, the mighty men, the men of renown. They were probably more refined in manners and exalted in thought than their predecessors of pure Cainite descent. “Men of name,” whose names are often in men’s mouths, because they either deserved or required to be named frequently on account of their influential or representative character. Being distinguished from the common herd by prominent qualities or memorable exploits, they were also frequently marked out by a special name or surname, derived from such trait of character or deed of notoriety. “Of old” (מעולם mē'ôlām). This has been sometimes explained “of the world,” in the sense of αἰών aiōn; but the meaning is too late for the present passage. The phrase uniformly means “of old,” covering a more or less extensive length of time. This note of time implies a writer probably after the deluge, who could speak of antediluvian affairs, as happening of old.

No. The giants referred to are the Nephilim, which are described in Numbers 13:33 as sons of Anak. So the passage is clearly referring to large humans.

In a scripture that the apostle Simon Peter wrote, it says that a million day to God is one thousand years. As for dinos, I 'm not sure. perhaps they have been only prepare. And in case you think in cavemen, then you definately suspect in evolution. The bible teaches creation. there are various prophecies interior the bible that are being fulfilled on the instant. for example: 2 Timothy 3:a million-5 undesirable features 2 Timothy 3: sixteen All scripture stimulated of god

Well, the Bible talks about leviathans. The description of the leviathan in Job sounds a lot like a dinosaur to me.

JOB 40:15 (God is talking to Job) Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
The above is a reference to a dinosaur.
I believe what you are referring to is a giant person such as Goliath?

There is also somewhere in Job chapter 41 that mentions creatures that have features that are related to those of dinosaurs.
