It is because the Bible is for humans to lead a good life...
Dinosaurs don't concern religious acts..
Or do they???

Actually Genesis does mention the dinosaurs, its just under a different name. In Gen 6:4 we find mention of the "Nephilim". Many scholars incorrectly identify the nephilim as a race of angels or giant men who raped the women of men. Actually its the wording that separates "Nephilim" from the rest of the verse. It serves as a period marker.
"In those days..." This tells us of when the narrative takes place. Much like when one make references, like "during the Revolutionary war..." which means its not directly speaking of the war but of an event that happened at the same time.
So with the Nephilim on the earth "in those days", we can gather it was a period that men remembered back then, even though we have forgotten it today.
So what Gen 6:4 is saying, in the time when dinosuars walked the earth, the sons of God (men) came to the daughters of men (women) whose children grew to historic people.
And since most dinosaurs were land-based, they were wiped out in the Flood alone with all the wicked humans.

I really like it when people gets curious about the Bible, cause it just shows that there is life, an urge for understanding.
Well God created this literal earth life and humans He is the source of all wisdom behind everything; to put in short God is the wisdom from the beginning and will be till the end, but is it applicable in my life, what can I change about nature? Nothing. But I do know I change my life myself my thoughts into something different, so if I can give you a answer the earth created in Genesis everything in the bible should not be taken up literly. Because it does not make sense, and so many people do not understand. I understand the beginning of the earth as the earth in my haert of understand, the moment God created my thoughts,my lifestyle to His! The moment I started to understand the spiritual Bible, its not a literal thing it goes so very deeper!!

What has that got to do with the price of Tea in China.
Even SCIENCE agrees MAN was not around when Dinos roamed the Earth.
We have no idea how long a DAY for GOD is, now what creatures he created or destoryed before Man came along.

When they wrote the bible they didnt know about dinosours that had been and gone since the creation ,that indicates the bible was written a long time after the creation of the world by people that didnt know what they were talking about.

You said it. There are no dinosaurs or giant creatures in the book of the creation of OUR world. Who is to say God did not create them many years before he created man.

because your bible is not authentic. some of its content are human made. not only dinosaurs your bible also can not give logical answer about world creation. you believe that true religion must always can answer all life problem including history don't you?. so if your bible can not answer your life problem, it means the bible is not perfect and not universal. The true religion must have perfect holy book which will be guidance in facing life problem to the end of the world.

The Bible is really a book about man's relationship with God. If you want to learn more about dinosaurs, I would suggest checking out some paleontology books.

You would have to get out of the Christian Bible and read the First part of the Torah were it does say that in those days there were giant creatures walking the Earth.
The Christians took that part out of their version of Genesis

MOst animals aren't mentioned by name in the Bible. We beleive that Leviathon and Bohemeth mentioned in Job refer to the crocodile and the hippo. There's a lot of things the Bible doesn't talk about , but most of what it does requires a lot of meditation and study and is for our benefit of understanding our creator and the world around us.

The bible has records of fallen angels and fallen angel mating with humans to create giants in Genesis, Numbers, ...
If I were to say that the bones that we found belong to these giants, would you believe it?
