if god exist then he/she must be more powerful and intelligent than human. and if he/she is more intelligent than us [human] then why he created a weird animal dinosaur before us?

Well, you have managed to just sum up almost 100 years of theoretical thought into 1 sentence. This is one of the main arguments for evolutionary science that God doesn't exist. Now look at it a different way. look at the bible not as Truth and Dogma but as a story book, to allow less intelligent peoples thousands of years ago to be subjegated by their rulers. it says that God created the world in 7 days, well the seven days is easy for a simple peasent to understand, to say it took him millions of years would mean nothing to someone whose life expectancy rarely reached 40, so say each day in the bible can be considered to be 1million to 2 million years in reality, potentially longer it says god created all the creatures and living things, could this also include dinosaurs, remember dinosuar fossils weren't discovered untill the 19th century. so it is possible that the reason they weren't mentioned is because no-one knew about them if they had then i'm sure they would be in the bible,
just becuase it's in the bible doesn't mean it is true or acurate and just because it isn't in the bible doesn't mean that it's proof of the non existance of God.
Stop fighting over who is right and who is wrong have your beliefs and allow others to have theirs. there is nothing wrong with not believeing in god just like there is nothing wrong with having religious views, maybe if more people realised this then mankind would stop trying to destroy itself

From a Biblical Base Christian
God created all living creatures in the six days of creation of Genesis chapter one(he rested on the seventh day). This includes dinosaurs and man. Dinosaurs are not mentioned by name in the Bible because the word dinosaur didn't exist until the 20th century. In the book of Job the Bible does speak of the "behemoth" and the "leviathan". Although many modern day scholars have tried to write this off as an alligator or a hippopotamus, the descriptions of these animals is very similar to the way scientists describe dinosaurs. Why did the dinosaur die out? I believe the majority of them died in the Flood of Noah, and the ones that survived the Flood were not able to adapt(not evolve) in the post-flood era.

This question shows confusion in your mind, before addressing the question you must know if you are a believer in God or not, if you are a believer then you must know that God has created mankind and the Universe and if you are a non-believer then you can say such things as " if He / She is more intelligent than humans" because Creator can not be compared with his Creation as the Creator is always superior to the Creation, for example take Computer,who is more intelligent ? man or computer? its being upgraded every now and then. Now,your question,let me ask you first,did human beings created the Universe? even the most duffer person will say "no" OK, can a human being create a mosquito? again the answer is "No" so... creation of Dinossaurs was much before the Creation of Human beings on this Planet, at that time it must be the Planet's requirement to keep the balance as you must know that Dinossaurs were both Vegetarians & meat eaters, the requirement must have been to keep the balance which is kept even today by the nature, Floods,Earthquakes,Wars and Cyclones kill millions today thus keeping the balance ! and by the way Dinossaurs were not weird as you call them, its the eye how a person sees things. Please don't mind my straight forward approach to your question and just give it a thought, your answer lies here!

- The Modern Christian Answer: Dinosaurs never existed; it's propaganda posed by the liberal media to teach Evolution to our poor, poor children.
- The Atheist Answer: God never existed, it's propaganda posed by the Vatican to teach Intelligent design to our poor, poor children.
- The Not-So-Faithful Christian Answer: God thought dinosaurs would last forever, but they didn't, so he created humans.
- The Common Sense Answer: Timeline => Amoeba's, Dino's, Neanderthal Man, Us... Not rocket surgery...
- The Scientific Answer: Dinosaurs existed before mankind and were killed off by a big meteor/disease/ice age/whatever, then man came along and said, "Hey, let's go make some wheels and discover fire and stuff", and they did, and then they stood upright and lost their tails and that's where we come from.
- The South Park Answer: Retard Fish-Squirrel.
- The Truth: God is dead, dinosaurs roamed the Earth and then died, then we came along and ate woolly mammoths and saber-toothed what-have-you's and then the computer was invented and here we are today.

The bible was written before we had discovered dinosaur bones. The story of Adam and Eve being first on earth was believable until science got more advanced.
I think it's easy to see that religion is all a bunch of b.s. to control the population. There may be a higher power but it's not "Him."

Let's be realistic.
God didn't exist until man created him!
It is no different then superman didn't exist until someone dreamed him up!
Is superman real? Is God real?? Only in the fictional worlds that they were written into! In the real world where we live neither one is real!
Life evolved from a single cell! NO GOD NEEDED!!

Yes. He created us so that the dinosaurs would have something to eat and it didn't work out.

I don't know, but humans wouldn't have oil to make gasoline for our cars if it weren't for dinosaurs.
