Well, according to a literal reading of the bible Adam and Eve were created some 4000-5000 years ago. According to the science of radioactive decay and the interpretation of volcanic tufts with regard to the age of dinosaurs, they existed some 65 million+ years ago. So apparently co-existence is not a factor here.
As for being "cave men", this is actually a flawed term. Humans were not traditionally cave men as they were much better at making better habitable structures where fire did not smoke them out and did not limit the size of the population because of restricted space as would occur with caves. (fire has been used for at least 1.6 million years) Caves were primarily used as artistic sites with some Homo sapiens groups, most notably Cro Magnum, the term "cave man" has picked up and been used by some laymen to describe these people, but archaeologists know that caves were primarily used for art or for burial, not habitation. Also, by the time that Adam and Eve were created, the agricultural age of mankind was firmly entrenched in our mid eastern cultures where Adam and Eve originated, and as-of-such they would have integrated into a greater society of humans who were already living a sedentary and hierarchial style of life and would have also have faced competing religious beliefs that would need to be expelled before their christianity/islam/judaism could take hold of this greater society.

This is a funny one...
If you take the perspective of the bible, Dinosaurs did not exist... But if you found fossils like I have found, then you must know that the first human ancestor probably appeared on Earth about 6 million years ago, while the latest dinosaurs living in Antartica are believed to have lasted until 36 million years ago... Then the rest have probably taken the form of giant birds like the dodo and the giant geese find in Australia dating from 8 millions years ago.

They weren't the first people on earth. That is impossible from a biological point of view. Dinosaurs were about 20 times older than the first cavemen.

No. Adam was formerly dust, and Eve used to be a rib. Clearly, God understood genetic engineering.
He got rid of dinosaurs before he created Adam and Eve. They were just too noisy.
Neither Adam nor Eve lived in a cave.

Adam and Eve are fiction.
Dinoaurs died 65 million years ago in a massive die-off. Humans have been around for, at the most, 6 million years depending on what you define as human.

The dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. The earliest ancestor of modern man appeared about 4 million years ago.

No they lived with Snowwhite and Hansel and Gretel and the witch and some dragons. ~
Dinos have been extinct for 65 Million years. People have been around from about 300,000 to perhaps 2 Million years. Depending on your definition of human.

Early man actually did not live with dinosaurs, but appeared on Earth thousands of years after the disappearance of dinosaurs.

I guess we will never know as no one found their skeletons or any traces of them on earth, no writings nothing!!!!!!! If God create the first man to his image we should all look like Apes and cavemen.

You seem to have an extremely solid mind's eye that has no longer something to do with introduction. we have no point out of the two cave men, grotesque or no longer, or dinosaurs in Genesis. theory and hypothesis have no longer something to do with the hassle-free actuality of what we are informed interior the 1st few pages of Genesis. we could constantly be careful to no longer misguide others.
