Here are the verses you're asking about, if you want a Biblical perspective.
Genesis 1:24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
So... Although the animals that moved on the ground and man were created on the same day, the account states that the animals were created first, and then God created man to rule over them.

This is one question that the Bible and Richard Dawkins agree upon. The dinosaurs came first.
In the Bible beasts (which could have included dinosaurs) were created the day before Adam and Eve.
According to Richard Dawkins, and most other scientists, the dinosaurs were around between 350 and 65 million years ago, and humans split from the ape common ancestor about 10 million years ago.
Frankly, I'd go with the scientists any day, at least there's some tangible evidence.

as per the bible Adam and eve were the first human creation by god and dinosaurs were actually the animals which came after Adam and eve and if they were with Adam and eve they should have been mentioned in bible

Dinosaurs have vanished more than 60 millions years before the first humans

So far the dinosaurs are the only clue available. When we have Adam and Eves bones in a museum we will know.

The dinosaurs weren't first. They were very far down the evolutionary timescale, with many creatures coming before them. But it sure as hell wasn't Adam and Eve. Who the hell actually thinks that makes sense?

Well, if Adam and Eve were first we humans must have had a really hard time escaping dinosaurs...
unless you think dinosaurs fossils are fake...

So, this is anthropology how? The dinosaurs roamed the Earth millions of years before anyone named "Adam", "Eve", "Joe" or "Betty" was ever born.

In Genesis it says all the creatures were created before Adam and Eve. I also believe
that man has created a few dinosaurs in this day and time too.

Well obviously if the bible didn't mention dinosaurs then it must have been written after the dinosaurs were exctint. Also wouldn't adam and eve have been eaten by them? :P

Dinosaurs. In fact, they were extinct by the time the first hominds appeared on earth around four or five million years ago.
