If you believe the Bible and the Genesis account of God's creation of the earth and universe and all the animals, then dinosaurs were created and lived with man from the beginning and certainly were on Noah's Ark....they were probably juvenile dinosaurs to conserve room and they would be better able to adapt to a new climate and reproduce than older animals would be. There are some references in the Bible to dinosaurs being called behemoth or leviathon or unicorn which some believe is a sort of triceratops---not the horse type creature you usually see---look up how the Bible describes them. Dinosaur is a fairly modern word also and only goes back 150 years or so....there have been many accounts of dragons over the last several hundred centuries and some people believe they are speaking of what are now called dinosaurs....they sound very similiar to some certain kinds of what we call dinosaurs. The Chinese Emperors at one time long ago had official "dragon keepers" that would take care of them and they used them to pull the Emperor's chariot in special parades...quite interesting. Some recent sightings of Loch Ness monster and Lake Champlain "Champ" and others in the last hundred years or so have led some people to think that some dinosaurs are still living much like the coelacanth fish which was suppose to have gone extinct as well as other recent animal and plant findings.

I believe that Noah fed all the dinosaurs to the other animals on the Ark. That's why there are plenty of bones discarded at seemeingly random locations around the earth (I mean who really wants to stay in Wyoming, Noah was bugging out of there so fast, he made the cheetahs have motion sickness).
They just threw brontosaurus bones or used triceratop skulls over the bow of the ark as they were cruising looking for higher grounds.
The La Brea tarpits are probably an area that the ark used to unload all the fecal waste form hundreds of paired animals, as well as the smilodon teeth not used for sabers by other members of that fateful crew. They picked up a couple of west Hollyweird humans, but were unsuccesful in choosing a mated pair that could bring about offspring.
The only dinosaur to make the journey was the wily coelcanth who was trapped in a fish tank (which was nicely decorated with fake pyramids and statues), and fed small pieces of dried diplodocus.

I’ve helped answer something like this until now for somebody, however the question didn’t touch on the dinosaurs. nevertheless the concepts are an identical in case you're somewhat searching for solutions. The account of Noah’s ark and the Flood as preserved interior the Bible, nevertheless in line with actual activities and real human beings, replaced into by no potential meant via the writers to be taken as literal historic past. on an identical time as as we communicate we’ll checklist significant activities with actual representation which incorporate in a television information document, interior the primeval worldwide of Mesopotamia while it got here to writing a theological clarification of something, that style of objectivity replaced into not employed. The account of Noah and the flood replaced into greater employing the variety of writing, and the present version we've in our Bibles is the effect of two autonomous aspects being intertwined. because of the fact the ancients have been greater desirous approximately explaining “why” there replaced right into a flood quite of “what” composed the progression, you could not take the small print of the story on face fee. in reality, the unique writers counted on it. via writing obscure or maybe impossible info, the writers have been telling their aim audience that the sacred truths of the story required us to look previous the easy descriptions. in accordance to the best chronologies, no dinosaurs could have been around in Noah’s day, and since the Bible isn't a historic past e book or e book of technological information, the variety of literary gadget makes that's impossible to tell from the Bible checklist which animals have been easily secure interior the historic experience on which the Biblical tale relies.

Nope, the dinosaurs (except their bird-like cousin-offshoots) became extinct about 65 million years ago. Noah's Ark, if it really existed, sailed sometime in the last 10,000 years.

No, because Noah's ark isn't real (it's an allegory) and because Dinosaurs had been dead for 65 million years or so.

No. Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous and the earliest homonids did not evolve until about 3 million years ago at the end of the Tertiary. Homo sapiens did not appear until about 100,000 years ago.

Yes they were but they all became extinct after the flood. because the water that was under the earth and above the earth came to the surface and the atmosphere changed so dinosaurs couldn't breath as easy which made it hard for them to survive. Most of them died but there are still animals who have adapted and are here to day.

Brain L's answer is right on the money.
While the Bible is a good guide for how we should treat other people we need to remember that it was written by men and no matter how inspired by God they may have been they were still subject to fallibility and prejudice and error and misunderstanding of God. Noah's story is an allegory about telling man to have faith in God and obeying Him because He knows what's best for you.

yes they were
but when noah brought along the cockroaches, he put them in his sisters bed. she screamed so loud all the dinosaurs fell overboard.
the real question is ofcourse, how did noah order his animals? was it from aardvark to zebra or the other way around?
