Dinosaurs do not prove evolution.
they did exist. We have bones to prove it.
But they existed BEFORE man was created.
the two could not co-exist.
God created Jesus first [ proverbs 8; 22-31]
then the angels.
then the universe...because the angels praised God for it.
then , as part of the universe, the earth,
then vegetation, then animals [including dinosaurs]
and lastly Man.
Vegetation and dinosaurs fertilised the earth to prepare it for man.
(Psalm 104:25-26) As for this sea so great and wide, There there are moving things without number, Living creatures, small as well as great. 26 There the ships go; As for Le·vi′a·than, him you have formed to play about in it.
This scripture says that Leviathan lives in the sea. Not necessarily at the same time as ships were in existence.
It could be whales or creatures that existed before whales.
(Job 40:15) Here, now, is Be·he′moth that I have made as well as you. Green grass it eats just as a bull does.
Verse 16-24 descibe its habits.
Living at the time of Job, it could not be the dinosaurs we are aware of.
So really they are not mentioned in the Bible.
But because they did exist, they must have been created by God.

Dinosaurs and evolution really disprove the bible and not necessarily God, although for many one leads to the other. It's more of a problem for the fundamentalist Christians who believe the Bible is the literal word of God.
God says in the bible that the earth is approximately 6,000 years old. He also doesn't mention dinosaurs at all. (Guess it would have made Noah's ark a little top-heavy!).
Therefore, the evidence of dinosaurs that are millions of years old means that God's inerrant, infallible, divinely inspired bible is wrong. Thus it calls into question even the existence of a God.
It's like a house of cards. Once you start removing one card, the entire house of cards starts to fall. Otherwise, you need to start re-evaluating the notion of an all-perfect, all-knowing, all-powerful God that somehow left out a key piece of evolutionary evidence in his bible.

Evolution Theory states that the change is random and through natural selection the positive outcomes improve species populations. Christians believe God caused these improvements.

Evolution doesn't prove anything.
Existence of dinosaurs just indicates that the bible is seriously flawed.

It's just that it conflicts with a strict interpretation of some holy texts.
However, once you do begin to interpret them freely, saying that a day is a million years or something silly like that, you are opening the entire text up to subjectivity, at which point it is no longer authoritative.

It doesn't. I don't think that anyone seriously claims that it does.
Evolution DOES provide pretty good evidence that a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis doesn't work for an explanation of the origins of life, though.

Well it might not prove that there is no god but it proves the bible wrong.

It does not prove there is no God, but it proves their religion has it all wrong.

It doesn`t
How do you prove a Belief?
How do you prove you love someone? I mean...really really prove it?
If you have a bad feeling in your gut...how do you justify it? You don`t....it just IS.
PS:
People that give thumbs down for an opinion SUCK.

It doesn't. But for some reason a lot of Christians think it comes close.
