We have bones to prove they were here but how do they fit into the ark or where are they in the Bible?

I did a study on this when I homeschooled my children years ago. Mostly because I was curious, too. I can direct you to some of the resource materials/books that I used, but here is what most of those explained. For one, they teach -- from Biblical, historical and scientific accounts -- that the dinosaurs existed with man and did not predate man. When the Biblical flood came, many of these types of animals were not carried onto the ark but were destroyed in the flood. Thus the pockets of intact animal skeletons and fossils in various locations -- which you would expect to find if the animals all died at once or were swept into ravines, etc., and sediment from the flood was deposited on them. Also a common misunderstanding is that people believe the flood came from excessive rain. The Bible clearly describes that the flood waters came from inside the earth and the resulting condensation produced rain and in effect changed the earth's atmosphere -- a program on Nova shows evidence from satellites of huge splits in the earth's crust in the ocean that may support this. There's a lot of good information out there if you are sincerely interested in searching the matter out.

I have read many books that say this:
Dinosaurs were made during the week of creation, not billions of years ago. Some proof of dinosaurs are in the book of Job, like the Leviathon and Behemoth (Job 40 & 41). Dinosaurs did not go into the ark. They were washed away in the Flood, because the fallen angels used them for evil. They were ordered to destroy the ark when the door was closed, but they couldn't. That's why the dinosaur bones that are found have necks that are craning up, because they tried to get air when they were drowning. I am a Christian and I believe this.
I hope this helps!!
Have fun!!

There are several theories about that. One is that there was more than one creation & that the dinosaurs were products of an earlier creation that wasn't mentioned in the Bible. Another idea, common among the Creationists, is that people and dinosaurs coexisted, & that the evolutionists & geologists are simply wrong. An even more entertaining hypothesis was that put forward by Philip H. Gosse in his book, Omphalos. For more info on these topics, see the links below.

In my opinion ... I don't believe that the entire history of creation is represented by the story of Genesis in the Bible. I believe that God gave us a generalized series of events but gave us the intelligence and capabilities to learn more on our own. For example, through science we learn about how the earth formed and evolution. Lots of Christians fight these theories, but I think we're just learning kind of exactly how God set things into motion.

Noah tried to fit them into the ark, but when T-rex ate that unicorn, Noah had to kick him off, lol

God, made the world, (to God, one day of his, to him can be a million day). But I love Christ, and I don't have to answer anything to anybody!!!
