Why do you not believe that dinasours lived with man?
They are mentioned in the Bible in the book of Job. He discribes them very well.

No they aren't

No 'He' doesn't
"Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you;
There's your "dinosaur" a vague description of a big, tough animal. No mention of it being a reptile, or (now) extinct, or of there being hundreds of varieties, including carnivorous ones (the description only mentions grass-eating).
More blind leaps to ridiculous conclusions.

"It took them huge ones a while to grow to their end size."
My God, your redneck accent comes through in text, too.
"They are mentioned in the Bible in the book of Job. He discribes them very well."
Those were his daughters, who were so ugly they had to get their own father smashed to get laid.
I always assumed that the bit about Behemoth actually describe some kind of large mammal, e.g. an auroch, (which DID still exist ca. 2000 years ago). Like all Biblical stories, this one is actually an alegory intended to teach some holier-than-thou moral lesson; so bitching about other peoples' failure to accept the fine details as literal truth misses the point entirely. Man, you're dumb!
Don't the illustrated Children's bibles often show this as a fairy tale (which it is) with a large wooden boat with an elephant, lion, and giraffe happily on board? The Flintstones' Ark would be different, with a T. Rex, Stegesaurus, and a Brontosaurus on board and a sea full of pleiosaurs.
Job 40:16 Behold now his strength is in his loins and his power is in the navel of his belly.
Only placental mammals have navels, therefore the Bible itself proves Behemoth cannot be a description of a dinosaur.
iirc, Behemoth is a horny elephant or hippo (hint: the "tail" isn't a tail, if you get my drift), and Leviathan is probably a distorted description of a whale...
Dina-sours - is that a new candy?
Was God not clever enough to have put very young dinasours on the Ark with Noah?
No. He was an idiot. If He was clever, He wouldn't have caused a flood in the first place. He'd have just waved His hand and made all the humans except Noah and his family vanish and left the land animals and plants alone.

And where, pray tell, would they get the 1,300lbs of fresh meat a young T. Rex eats every year. Not to mention entire forests they would need to grow. And what stopped the animals from eating each other. And don't let me get started on the room required for just on antelope to survive, and what about the rquired temperatures, which would need to... oh, never mind.

A multitude of measurements with various radiometric dating methods, the lack of dinosaurs in ancient works of art, the fact that humans and dinosaurs are in completely different layers of the geological column, etc.
