Yeah, they existed before man... but by only one day. God created all creatures (including dinosaurs, because they are creatures) on the fifth day. Then he created Adam (man) on the sixth day. People seem to think that dinosaurs aren't animals, but they are, lol. So therefore, they were created with all the other animals: on the fifth day.
They are mentioned in the Bible. Besides the Creation account, there's...
-Job 40:15-24
The Behemoth
{It “eats grass like an ox.”
It “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”)
Its “bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.”
“He is the first of the ways of God.”
“He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.” }
-Job chapter 41, Psalm 104:25,26 and Isaiah 27:1
The Leviathan
{“No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.”
“Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?”
“His rows of scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a seal; one is so near another that no air can come between them; they are joined one to another, they stick together and cannot be parted.”
“His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.”
“Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. Darts are regarded as straw; he laughs at the threat of javelins.”
“On earth there is nothing like him, which is made without fear.”
Leviathan “played” in the “great and wide sea” (a paraphrase of Psalm 104 verses 25 and 26—get the exact sense by reading them yourself).
Leviathan is a “reptile [a] that is in the sea.” (Isaiah 27:1)}
There's another reference to another kind of dinosaur, but I can't remember it, sorry! :(
They were on the ark with all the oher types of animals. The animals weren't brought on as big, old lugs. They couldn't reproduce the earth. They were young, maybe even babies... maybe even eggs. So the dinosaurs were probably young when they came on or still in eggs. This would have saved lots of room too, the animals being young.

Dinosaurs existed before humans... All those cartoons with cavemen living with dinosaurs, are fake. I used to wonder why dinosaurs are not mentioned in the bible too. And I've come to realize, that the bible was not written by God, but was written by man. And they wrote the bible before the discovery of dinosaur bones. That's why in the beginning, when God created the Heaven and the Earth and blah blah blah... There's no mention dinosaurs

visit drdino.com and see the downloads link button and go there and watch video 3 about dinosaurs. God bless.
They are mentioned in the Book of Job for starters. Type dinosaurs in the Bible into any search engine.

No, dinosaur fossils are much older than human fossils. A recent scientific study reported that 35% of Americans erroneously think people lived along side dinosaurs.
I think some of these people watched too many Flintstones episodes.

Dinosaurs existed and became extinct long before humans made an appearance on earth!

No. Dinosaurs existed long before religion. Earth existed long before religion. You should read your paleontology texts.
