Well in Jobs Chapter 40(King James Version), they mention these animals called behemoths and the description they give of them match a dinosaur. Many people think the description fits other creatures like elephants, rhinos, giant pandas, etc.
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
The description to me sounds more like a Brachiosaurus, a Sauropods, a Brontosaurus, a Diplodocus, or a Apatosaurus. If you read the description carefully it says that these behemoths had tails like the thick, tall trunks of cedar trees. The animals people have thought to be the behemoth don't have tails like the dinosaurs I listed.
The word dragon is used a number of time in the Old Testament of the Bible, so 'dragons' could have been substituted for dinosaurs in the Bible, because the word dinosaur wasn't invented until the 1800s.
Besides, what proof do people have that dinosaurs did not roam the Earth with humans? As I read what evolutionists have to say about what happened to dinosaurs, it makes no sense. Every year they are finding things that are wrong in their theories that they have written or said, so they keep changing and changing them or either make new ones. Even the new ones they create still lack the explanation they would need to make sense of it all.
This is from a website:
But, one such explanation does exist. If you remove the evolutionary framework, get rid of the millions of years, and then take the Bible seriously, you will find an explanation that fits the facts and makes perfect sense:
At the time of the Flood, many of the sea creatures died, but some survived. In addition, all of the land creatures outside the Ark died, but the representatives of all the kinds that survived on the Ark lived in the new world after the Flood. Those land animals (including dinosaurs) found the new world to be much different than the one before the Flood. Due to (1) competition for food that was no longer in abundance, (2) other catastrophes, (3) man killing for food (and perhaps for fun), and (4) the destruction of habitats, etc., many species of animals eventually died out. The group of animals we now call dinosaurs just happened to die out too. In fact, quite a number of animals become extinct each year. Extinction seems to be the rule in Earth history (not the formation of new types of animals as you would expect from evolution).

No. Only those who believe the universe was created six thousand years ago and not what can actually be seen and experienced in the world.
Those who believe dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans, believe that people 2 to 3 thousand years ago, knew more than we know now. Back then, they believed that Gods, Devils and Demons made everything happen. Now we know differently, but some still insist that books that were written back in those days, have more knowledge than we do now.
So no, I do not believe.

No, I do not believe dinosaurs once roamed with humans.

No, I do not. Every piece of "evidence" that supposedly shows otherwise has been proved false, or shown to be something other than human.
The Watcher's link goes to The Creation Society's website. They might be just a bit prejudiced in their thinking.

yes, because the one or two isolated mention of dragons or great lizards in the bible explain that we shared the planet with HUGE populations of various dinosaurs.
Or something. I don't know, it's bulls hit.
Of course we didn't. People just have a problem imagining stretches of time counting in the billions of years when they can't even remember what they did 10 years ago.

I honestly don't know. There is evidence (Glen Rose, TX) that perhaps they did co-exist. However, it's not enough to convince me yet, and I'm not all that hung up on it. If you consider that tortoises, sea turtles and sharks are dinosaurs, then absolutely.

Definitely not. To anyone with a knowledge of natural history the idea is totally outlandish.

With humans? No.

No, close (in geologic terms). Only about 60 million years apart.

No, they died out several thousand years before humanoids roamed the earth.
