I have no idea... I think dinosaurs were like millions of years ago... I had a friend that thought dinosaurs were the first species to exist, and then humans are the second living creatures.
Well, it's hard to say because there are bones when I looked all over the Internet... but I ask myself this question. Is it a hoax and someone just made up all the skeletal remains for fun? or was it real?
I could tell you that the bible doesn't mention anything about dinosaurs, but you never know? There are a lot of things hidden from us... there are a lot of stuff that the Prophets and Authors took out of the scriptures so they don't scare the future generations... hehehe.

This article is about the biblical creature. For other uses, see Leviathan (disambiguation). Leviathan (לִוְיָתTwisted; coiled", Standard Hebrew Livyatan, Tiberian Hebrew Liwyāṯān) was a Biblical sea monster referred to in the Old Testament (Psalm 74:13-14; Job 41; Isaiah 27:1); Read there and also refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan.
Also, if Jehovah wanted the readers of his word, the Bible to be mostly consumed with dinosaurs, he would have authorized that more be written in there about them. What he chose to author there in the Bible must have been sufficient for Jehovah; remember, he knows what's best and is the Creator of all things. Use your common sense and focus on what he allowed to be written there in the Bible for all of mankind's good.
2 Peter 3: 3-4
For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.
2 Peter 3: 8 - 9
However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.
I cannot wait until all this ridicule, liars and planters of seeds of doubt are not around anymore...that will be unfortunately about 90% of the world's population. So sad.
Thanx for the 2

Depends on how you believe in the old testament, I personally do not take much of the bible literally, I think that it is filled with stories with an important message, it doesn't matter exactly what happened. I know the earth and the universe is more than 6 thousand years old, and I also know it took much longer than 7 days to complete it. The bible was passed down orally for thousands of years. Each day just represents important parts of creation, thats all.
As for Dinosaurs, They were some thing that Humans had no contact with what so ever, and were just a stop along the way to the modern animal and plant kingdom. I think their main role was to spread plants all around the earth, they would eat plants and their seeds and migrate leaving seeds hundreds of miles away in a nice pile of fertilizer.

Well in a million years from today everything we thought was the truth will all be changed , so if your looking to change history as we knew it or were told it was then don't buy any bibles for a while i understand Jesus had a girlfriend that was a hooker and everything they said about him was just stories.
all this stuff is laughable to say the least.
The Bible even if it between
the old version or the new version is of no significance its all about how we understood the teachings,
while on our stay on this earth,
personally up until now i have had a great life believing in what is good in life and how i can maybe make a difference just not be making fun of what people believed in 3000 years ago such as evolution.not what someone has said about what my lifestyle was

Some believe that they were the "dragons" they describe in the bible, or they might say that God created the world and then made it void, meaning that the world had inhabitants (dinosaurs) before God made it void for humans. Besides that, if you look into it, there have been discoveries of human footprints among dinosaur footprints. Seriously. Personally I believe it to be time travelers, but many creationists support the idea that dinosaurs walked among humankind. That being the case God would have had to have killed off all the dinosaurs, but kept the humans alive. Sounds weird to me, but so far it hasn't been fully explained.

How do you explain a Great White Shark?
A skunk?
A platypus?
Or Stink Beetles?
Every single animal is not listed in Genesis. They are broken down into birds, land animals and marine animals. Can you imagine how much longer the Bible would be if EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL were listed?
Besides, mankind is still discovering new species of animals every day.
I know you can't seriously believe this is a rational argument.
*And you say WE are irrational? Ha!*

The Old Testament message is what's important - they wrote it to show the salvation history. I don't care how old the earth is or how evolution hapened or how historically correct the Bible is.
What I DO care about is the message contained within the stories. That's what's important.

We don't. I don't look in it for the existence of microbes, black holes, quasars, woolly mammoths, or computers with it. It didn't concern itself with that, and it wasn't always absolutely concerned with making a history that was exact to the jot and tittle. Heck, a lot of what it says isn't literal at all. Gen. 1, for instance, is a *poem*. How should we interpret that? I certainly don't read a poem the way I read history.
None of this bothers me much at all. It's just the way things are.
