And if not, how do you explain the bones. If so, how do you reconcile that with the earth being created in six days. (Dinos came before man but had to have lived more than six days)

Yes. "DAYS" was a figure of speech, it could stand for thousands of day or hundred of thousands of years, etc...
If you read the Bible literally word by word without taking into accoun thte historical or cultural context, then you are in trouble!

i'm a Christian and that i remember on Dinosaurs and that the Earth is two billion years previous - and neither of those issues are hostile to God or make him any a lot less. many human beings trust that the Earth is basically 6,000 years previous because they imagine the metaphorical "days"that the the BIble says the Earth changed into created in are 24 hours. The Bible also says an afternoon is form of one thousand years to God. God 's days are not any further our days - i imagine this creates a experience of time. i won't be able to be disputed that there have been dinosuars and the lengthy geologic age of the Earth. yet God did create all of it and this confrontation does no longer shrink who he's or his artwork. i'm sorry that you're feeling the way you do about the Bible. there's a lot in there that speaks to us, such as Jesus words on existence and purpose, and loving others. extremely that God is at artwork on a daily basis - merely look slightly more advantageous sturdy. you'll have a heart of religion to take heed to.

To tell the truth I do believe dinosaurs walked the Earth millions of years ago. But each time they said before humans and I don't know if their talking about Adam & Eve or when the Jesus left Earth to go to Heaven. I'm gonna say they were made after Adam and he named them all. But then again I don't see anything mentioning them in the Bible.

Of course. Reread Genesis. It does not say the earth was created in six days. It says that the earth was without form and void indicating it already was in existence. God created the work in/on the earth in six days.

Yes there were dinosaurs. Man and animals roamed the earth together until the flood. That is when the dinosaurs were destroyed. When Noah got off the ark. That is when fear was put into man and into animals. So yes they did walk together before.

The BOOK says that when people are young they need milk. But to be mature, they need strong meat. People who are babes in the Word need stories. Those who are mature in the Word use
plain speech.
The evidence shows there were dinosaurs, and cavemen. The theory of evolution also points out, that there is a "missing link".
So why can't they both be true? And at some point God made
a "better" human?

Let me reword your question:
Do christians recognize the fact of dinosaurs or live in denial as "young Earth creationists"?
The short answer is, some do (eg. catholics) and some don't (fundamentally retarded christians).
To the second part, those in denial say fossils were "put there by satan" or that they "were invented by lying atheists". These same idiots, of course, also claim that evolutionary theory still includes "Piltdown man".
Additional:
To no surprise, some ignorant godbots are already claiming "behemoth" and "leviathan" of bible mythology are "dinosaurs". Some would call that the depths of ignorance, but I call it a bottomless pit. You can put as many facts as you like into it and it will never be filled.
Creationism is for cretins.

Sure dinosaurs are in the bible.
They lived at the same time
dragon drawings ? why every culture had them? (even up to 1500 AD)
dinosaur bones in same layers as human bones? Footprints in the same layers?
As many facts for 6000 year old earth, as 6 billion
What is your faith in?

Yes, they lived with Adam and Eve in the garden. The earth was created in 6 24hrs days. If you believe those days was periods of time then who have a hericy, Adam brought death into this world, if the dinosaurs lived before man, you will have death first, before man, but the bible clearly states that man brought death into this world

I truely believe that just like after Adam and Eve God destroyed the earth because of all the evil, I believe the earth existed before Adam and Eve and it was destroyed and God started over.

Well, I do believe that there are dinosaurs, because as a Christian, I baleive in God, and when He created the world, well I do admit He didn't specifically say each animal's name, but He said that "Let the BIGGEST animals roam the world." (something like that)...
