No.
With the technology available to goat herders, they were unaware of what had occurred 4 million years earlier.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:2 But the earth became waste and emptiness, and darkness was on the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was brooding upon the surface of the waters.
Genesis 1:1 shows that God created the heavens and the earth. But then in verse 2 it says that the earth became waste and emptiness. The time period between these two verses seems like the only possible time for dinosaurs to exist.
God's creating of the earth and the heavens is prior to verse 3-26. The time period between verse 1 and verse 2 must have been when the dinosaurs were created and lived. Then Satan rebelled against God (this is all between verse 1-2). Because of Satan's rebellion, he was cast down upon the earth. This is probably when that drastic natural event happened on the earth that caused the dinosaurs to be wiped out. This is now verse 2. The earth became waste and emptiness, and darkness was on the surface of the deep because Satan spoiled the earth that God made. So in verse three God started over again on the earth. We don't know how many years, whether it be millions or billions, took place between verse one and verse two, but that must have been the time in which the dinosaurs existed.

No, there is not.
First the Behemoth
15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
How do creatures born out of eggs have a navel? That is a mammalian feature only.
Aside from that we have one large grass eating creature.
Dinosaurs covers a huge range of species with about hundreds of different known species from the size of a rabbit up to the size of a house.
Ands with all the mention of species in the bible, what animals are clean, which are unclean etc. there is not one clear mention of a dinosaur.
The simple reason for this is that all the dinosaurs were dead for millions of years before men wrote the bible. All we have is their probable descendants in the birds.

No, but some creationists claim that there are some described in it. Two examples are the behemoth in Job and the leviathan. Leviathan is a word meaning sea monster. The behemoth is a description of a rhino or hippo.
Job 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
40:16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
40:18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
Here's a better translation of the verses:
Look now: the Beast that I made: he eats grass like a bull. Look: the power in his thighs, the pulsing sinews of his belly. His penis stiffens like a pine; his testicles bulge with vigor

The word dinosaur is not mentioned. There is a description of a creature that sounds very much like a dinosaur, in Job Chapter 40. And Leviathan in Psalm 74:13-14; Job 41; Isaiah 27:1

No. Of course the term didn't exist when the Bible was written, but there's nothing that appears to refer to the same animals.
There are some vague references to fictional creatures, but nothing nearly specific enough to suggest that it's describing any species of dinosaur.
Quiet Buck, I don't believe there were actually any fire-breathing dinosaurs. If you were to be intellectually honest about this, that single hole in the description should be enough to convince you that the creature being described is not a dinosaur. Or that the description is flawed, but something tells me you're not ready to consider that possibility.

No. However, Creationists like to believe that God is some sort of twisted prankster and placed dinosaur bones in the ground in order to have a reason to send more people to Hell.

no they didn't name them but they did describe them, the bible also has animals that no longer exist does this mean they weren't real?the bible also tells how and when the continents moved apart long before science "proved" it.
