Good question,
Take a look at Gen.1:verse20 this was done on the fifth day of creation in the days God created things.Verse 24 adds more to the creation of "Living souls." maybe some of them were dinosaurs no one knows. Also verse 30 really hits it. Remember these days were longer than 24hrs. they were thousands of yrs maybe 7,000 yrs.because it took time to establish things for God to say at verse 31 "look it was very good." After all the creation including Adam and Eve he said that the morning of the six day...5000yrs it took for creating these things. we are living now to the close or the morning of the seventh day.
interesting huh?

The people writing the Bible didn't see the importance in dinosaurs spiritually so they were omitted entirely. Not everyone takes the Bible literally either. Who's to say how long a single day was in the Genesis creation story. It could have easily been millions of years.
Scientists have determined that dinosaurs would not have cohabitated with humans but that they did exist. So they would have existed before Adam and Eve.

The dinosaurs were created on the sixth day with man about 6000 years ago. The days of Genesis were literal days, 24 hours long and the dinosaurs lived alongside man. They perished in the great flood most likely because they couldn't be taken on the ark. They had a much greater food need than the other animals.
When the Bible was written, there was no such word as "Dinosaur", it's a fairly recent word. The Bible uses the word "beasts".
If Bible translations were like some people think, the word dinosaur would probably be in it. But since our Bible is translated from scripture, it is reliable, even when there are minor differences in translations.

Yes, they would have come before Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were not the first humans, btw. Dinosaurs died out before humanoids came.

The existence of dinosaurs is based on science whereas the bible is religious mythology and can therefore safely be ignored.

GEN 1:30
And to every BEAST of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every THING that creepeth upon the earth, wherein THERE IS life, I have GIVEN every green herb for meat:and it was so.
