Considering how many dinosaur fossils there are and how little time they spent on the earth (like 2000 years), it's safe to assume that there was a gigantic dinosaur every square meter.
How could Adam and Eve POSSIBLY survive?
And the dinosaurs weren't the only problem, there were also millions of other large predators willing to eat them according to all the fossils. Like the sabertooth tiger and the terror bird.

Humans have been "Humans" for 100,000 years (give or take) and dino's were around for MUCH LONGER then we have been...
They were around for Millennia...
I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not but I felt you should be aware of the real time line...
As to the Adam & Eve question… Yeah… How in hell could 2 people, 1 of them ALWAYS barefoot and pregnant, survive on an earth simply COVERED with predators and having to compete with the herbivores…
Yet another detail that “they” don’t like talking about…

The dinosaurs had been created and died by the time Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden. Also, God had given Adam (or man) dominion over all of the animals. Man named them for that matter. If you read the bible really closely you will see an instance of a creation, and then another instance of a creation. Both of them are about the same, but there are subtle differences.
By the way, God's day and a day of our lives are not the same. Time differences and all that stuff, that is what faith is all about.
Please keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and not something I am trying to force you to believe. I figure when it is all over and done with, I can ask God and get all the straight answers rather then my own guess work.

Did it ever occur to you that dinosaurs were gone prior to Adam and Eve inhabiting the earth? What came first, the chicken or the egg?---The human or the animal?
Even if they did exist when Adam and Eve were on the earth, do you remember when the animals were not meat eaters like they are now? There was a time when man did not have to fear being eaten by animals, and after Armageddon, after all the "wicked" is destroyed in the earth, animals will be the docile creatures that God once created them as. They, the animals were not always meat eaters. They ate vegetation only just like humans, but as humans progressed and became more imperfect the animals changed also.
Remember when Adam was created, he was created above all other creation "in the earth". His job was to name all the animals and vegetation, i.e., plants, trees, shrubs, etc., but after Adam & Eve sinned, this changed the whole "fever pitch" in the earth so to speak.
But rest assured, after Armageddon, if I make it into the new system on a paradise earth and have everlasting life, I want to lie between a 1,000 pound lion if they still weigh that much after A-day, and between a 1,200 pound Grizzly bear, if they too weigh this much after A-day, and just snuzzle and snuggle right up against them taking a long nap! After Armageddon the animals won't be eating us or each other anymore, so things will "GO BACK" to the way they once were.
It's a wonderful future for those who truly love God and his standards, but who do not like the world and satan who's presently running it today.
Won't that be wonderful? Also, remember, after Armageddon, many new scrolls, meaning much new information will be revealed. Keep your mind and conduct on the truly important right now which is saving your life and preaching the good news. The rest of the details may be revealed after Armageddon, you know? These are hard times we're living in right now, but God has not deserted us. In due time...in due time.

The fact that dinosaurs and prehistoric man existed can't be denied and a study of the Bible tells us that there was a civilization before the creation of Adam and the world that we are accountable in but was destroyed by God's judgment. Read Isaiah 14:12-18.

Ha ha this is a good one for inspiring all manner of various answers.
Question dose anyone really believe you will find an answer in this collection of suggestions?
Ok my offering, has everyone forgotten to read the account in Genesis? What did "G-D" do? He presented all the animals to Adam to name didn't he? If you choose to take a puppy or kitten home to live with you and your family, you name the animal. You play with the animal, you develope some manner of relationship with it. Remember the animals were suppose to be in the garden with them. No where does it say, that certain animals were exculted from the garden. In fact all were suppose to be in the garden and were not carnivors. They were vegetarians.
Question how long was it after they were all expelled from the garden, how long was it until some became carnivors? a few minutes, hours, days, how long? Having been eating vegetation inside the garden they may have had to run out of suitable plant life to consume.
The account goes on to relate how they walked and talked with "G-D", do you think that was a quick hello how are you Ive got to run do to pressing business?
Further Semi-common sense would suggest some time elapsed, in that a basic set of instructions could be passed on to, Adam and Eve. Is it too much to suspect they may have had questions and needed some time to learn, even the very simplest of instructions? We know that Eve failed to follow instructions concerning a certain tree.
Now add to this, modern science is really only guessing at the subject of age determination. Even the average persons among us know there are serious questions to be asked concerning the aging methods now being used.
For those whom wish to refer to the Bible as a secure common point of reference, it is clear there is a "day equals 1000 years" concept contained there in.

Adam and Eve are mythical characters made up to represent early man and the beginning of civilization (hunters to planters).
Dinosaurs have been around for MILLIONS of years before man ever made an appearance on this earth, and never would have encountered humans.
Humans hunted sabretoothed tigers, among other animals, for food and clothing. Many of which are now extinct because of humans.
Terror bird? no such animal... be more descriptive. There were several large species of birds, including the Elephant bird and the Moa Moa- both are extinct.

Dinosaurs were gone by millions of years before Adam and Eve were said to have been alive. Go figure.

This is a great question and I will star you for this one. This is something very interesting to know and surely I want to know. Adam and Eve was born in the garden and I hardly think there was dinosaurs in it. Therefore outside of the garden, whereas the garden was guarded with angels for their protection.

There WEREN'T millions of them!And There was space 4 everyone to live not so close to each other.
Do u think it is an ancient metafore?Lots of people seem to not believe what the Bible says.I wonder what makes them think it's a fairytale.The Bible is the ONLY book that does not have a single lie in it and people think it is a make-believe story!How blinded people are of the truth.If u think this is abuse,then that's your problem,but that is the truth.

Dinosaurs were killed off thousands of years before Adam and Eve came into existence.
