Well if you took the time to read the Genesis account you would see that He created the beasts before he created the first human couple. The Bible also says that 1000 years is like a day to God so this means Each Creative Day could have lasted very long time. So this does not rule out the Dinosaurs existence in the bible.

People seem to be very confused about this so listen up. These are the facts that even most Christians miss. The account of the creation in Genesis, is the accounting of the creation in the spirit, not the physical. This creation in the spirit, took six days and on the seventh God rested. It was after this, that the earth in it's physical form was made and all things on it. We have no idea how long that took or how it was done. What we do know, is that God does all things by natural means.

That is a question that even stumps Christians.
But it's imperative to realize that not everything that has ever happened in the world is recorded in the Bible. The Bible is for education, encouragement, and the such, ALL regarding Salvation and living a life pleasing to God.
Dinos apparently existed-- we have many, many bones to prove it, but they have nothing to do with Salvation and becoming an heir to the kingdom of heaven. Thus, God left the info on Dinos a big secret to us all. For all we know they could have been roaming the garden with Adam and Eve. Who knows for sure.
If you get to Heaven, ask Him! :-D

It can't be explained. Dinosaurs are just more proof that the Bible is false. And whoever above said that carbon dating is inaccurate is completely wrong. It can correctly date a fossil to within about one hundred years, depending on how old it is. Also, carbon dating isn't even used for dating dinosaur fossils. Carbon dating only works back less than fifty thousand years. The dinosaurs went extinct over 65 million years ago. They are instead dated using sedimentary samples of rock around them. Geologists can identify dates using the different rock layers.
What really amuses me is that some Creationists completely deny that dinosaurs even existed. They say that dinosaur fossils were left by God to "test their faith." Test their idiocy, more like. They also claim that God left light from stars over 400 million light-years away(which proves that the light must have been coming from them towards us for over 400 million years) for the same reason. However, the idea of God as the ultimate practical jokester is one that doesn't seem all that likely.

Each day was a creation period. As for God days are meaningless. It very clearly states that some animals were created before Man. Then God gave 1000 years as a base for man to understand that his days were a lot longer than ours. But I think that may only apply to the earth after man was given life. Now do you think God feels we are going through way to much pain and suffering when a day to him is a thousand years to us then how long is our year to him? just part of a second to him? It isn't long in our eternal existence no matter how we look at this life.

Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day. Dinosaurs were created much earlier. The days of God's creation are not six literal days as we know days but are creative days and were much longer then a literal 24 hours.

Gen 1:24
All land creatures were created on the 6th day. After they were created. God created ma nin HIS image.
Humans and all animals co existed together in harmony, before sin came and corrupted everything on earth.
in the future, in the millenial reign (the 1000 years of peace)
man and animals will once again peacefully co exist together. i'm forgetting the exact verse in the bible where it says that the baby and the lion will sit together.
God will restore peace on earth.
hope this helps, :)

How do I explain them?/ God created them with the other animals, but I don't know what there is to explain.
Carbon dating is not accurate and dinos are not millions of years old. Does that explain it?
