Atheists put them there, to make us think that the world is older than what the bible says.
Everyone knows that the big jesus horses that paleontologists find are just made up by atheists.
where do you stand on 'dinosaurs'?

LOL, I heard a story once that dino bones are actually just regular bones but the high pressure of water or sediment on the bones made them expand!!! LMAO!!!
Since when does excessive pressure make something expand rather than shrink!

The answer to question is no and I don't think you believe what you wrote. It reads to me that you are just trying to get Christians to say something stupid because as a Christian I can not imagine calling dinosaurs "big Jesus horses". As a Christians I do read, visit nature museums, attend school, and I love watching documentaries about finding dinosaurs. I do believe God made it, but the humans were made last in the Bible. Who knows what a day to God is in the way humans understand time.

The taxon Dinosauria was formally named in 1842 by English palaeontologist Richard Owen, who used it to refer to the "distinct tribe or sub-order of Saurian Reptiles" that were then being recognized in England and around the world. The term is derived from the Greek words δεινός (deinos meaning "terrible", "fearsome", or "formidable") and σαύρα (saura meaning "lizard" or "reptile"). Though the taxonomic name has often been interpreted as a reference to dinosaurs' teeth, claws, and other fearsome characteristics.
It wasn't mentioned in the Bible because the word didn't exist.
They weren't just made up. They were there.
The Bible is recorded history, not the only one.

For those who follow the Bible there is some Biblical references to what some believe are dinosaurs. Mentions of large, armored reptiles and such. Some say it could simply be referring to a croc others believe it's dinosaurs. I don't know the references, I'm sure if you Google something along the lines of "dinosaurs in the Bible" you should find what you're looking for.

who ever said that dinosaurs are not real is , well anyway, i don't understand why some people think that Christians don't believe in the existence of dinosaurs. were does that come from? who said that ? really, i want to know, i see that alot and really want to know were it comes from. i personally know many Christians and have never heard anyone say they dinosaur are the devils work. in fact it seems silly to me that non-Christians believe we think that. and buy the way the reason the word dino is not in the bible is because it wasnt a word untill about 100 years ago.the word used to be dragon . anyone believe in those ?

NOT ALL CHRISTIANS DENY EVOLUTION, THE BIG BANG THEORY, AND THE AGE OF THE EARTH.
In fact, its quickly becoming a minority. A vocal minority yes, but still a minority. Some of us can take Genesis as metaphorical and still believe that God is the guiding hand behind evolution and the big bang. And the whole age of the earth thing came from some guy taking all the people in Jesus' lineage back to Adam in Matthew, and multiplying it by the average lifespan of people. But again, those who believe Genesis is metaphorical don't buy into that.

LOL ... Nirvanagirl with the "Athiest Factory" where they make million year old plastic dinosuars ...
I'm going to introduce myself like that at all the holiday parties now ... "Oh, Hi! My name is Chris, I work at the Atheist Factory .... yeah, its pretty cool, I make fake plastic stuff to trick all of the Christians in town. Takes me a while to bury it all, but in the end, its totally worth it ... We've got a pretty good 401k over there ..."
HAHAHAHAHA!
But seriously, if you're questioning this whole dinosaur bit and think its the be all end all of "Does God exist?" you've got some hardcore soulsearching to do ... It isn't this black and white as you want it to be, it isn't "atheists win, christians lose" as you may make it out to be ... the fact is all 6.5 billion of us live on one, and only one planet, right now ... today. Why don't you think about making it all a better place, right now, for your fellow man rather than trying to pick a fight over who's right, who's wrong?
Gotta go ... its a pretty long day working shift at the Atheist Factory. Man, I hope someone brings donughts ...

I've also heard the theory that God put the dinosaur bones there to make us question and develop our faith. However, I'm not really buying that one either. Where do I stand? Let's see...I've never had much of an interest in dinosaurs, so I don't know much about them, but I do believe they existed. Yep.

I believe in dinosaurs. I just believe that God created them, instead of the Big Bang.
