Dinosaurs are my passion.So I want to create them.Is the "Jurassic Park" -film process possible.Or is there any other possibility to create the dinosaurs like genetical engineering?

With our current technology, it is not possible.
In theory, one day, it might be possible. We would need better cloning technology than we currently have. To the extent that we could actually recreate an organism using only their DNA. This might require the development of an artificial environment that duplicates the conditions that a dinosaur egg develops in, and that the embryo grows under - which would require a lot of research, and more knowledge of dinosaur physiology and the environmental factors that influence embryology in the group.
It would also require intact genetic material from a dinosaur. At this point, there has been some soft tissue recovered from dinosaurs, but no fully intact DNA strands.
So at this point, it's something akin to space colonies - something that might be possible some day, but we'd need far more advanced technology and knowledge than we currently possess.

One day when we completely understand genetics and how they interact we will be able to design any organism we wish. We could create dragons, mermaids, and anything else we choose.
Though they will not truly be dinosaurs. They may look like dinosaurs but to find true dinosaurs we would need to find the complete genetic material for a dinosaur and this probably will not happen.
The question is should we do this? It may not be a wise idea.

Even if it were possible (which it is not), there are several issues to deal with. Our environment today is much different- what will they eat and where will they live? If they are warm-blooded and nurtured by parents, who would teach them to be dinos?
Even if we had the technology to do this, the technology would be in use by biomedical labs andother places using it in ways that would be more profitable to them than the really, really financially risky category of resurrecting animals like this.
It would be easier, safer, and more useful to bring back recently extinct species- but even so- the costs involved mean this will be limited to biomedical and other commercial applications for a long time to come.

YES, they have the ability to make animals like the wolly mammoth. I think it would take a full string of DNA from any dinosaur so i dont know if they have that? You watch. 5 years from now every major zoo will have a wolly mammoth. They are bringing them back into existance.

Yes if you are Napoleanean! Any long DNA genome is nothing but a species-specific result of various permutations and combinations thro' molecular evolution. The answer lies provocatively in PROBABILITY of ATGC and it needs your sexy look at it!

Todays' news is that the 'then' dinosaur is the 'NOW' chicken.
