dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans. They aren't millions of years old.
Death entered the world after Adam sinned (Gen (1 Mos) 2:17, Rom 5:12).
Red blood cells and soft tissue have been found in bones of Tyrannosaurus rex
by Mary Schweitzer. None of them last for millions of years.
Dinosaur fossils appeared after The Flood at the Time of Noah.
Radiometric dating of rocks around fossils that speak of millions of years
isn't reliable. Carbon dating of dinosaurs gives thousand of years. For more of this,
see Radiometric Dating and the Age of the Earth in Evidence for a Young Earth.
Dinosaurs were created after their kind (Gen (1 Mos) 1:24–25). Afterwards,
they evolved into different dinosaur species; depending on how their genetic code was combined, due to natural selection in the ecological environment in which
they lived, and due to epigenetics (the environment can affect which genes are turned on and off in future generations). This places limits on how far new species can evolve. The dinosaur species didn't evolve from other types of animals
due to mutations. Mutations don't provide new information, see What is Information.
Nor have new kinds of animals, such as birds, evolved from dinosaurs.
The Bible says that all animals, including the dinosaurs, were originally herbivores
(Gen (1 Mos) 29–30). Some animals probably started eating meat after sin
entered the world, but that wasn't originally God's plan. It was only after
The Flood at the Time of Noah man was allowed to eat meat (Gen 9:3–4).
The word Dinosaur isn't in the Bible because it's a modern word from 1842,
from the time when dinosaur fossils began to be found,
see time 14:47–16:37 in May 2024 Bible Q&A. Other names for animals,
which may be dinosaurs or the like, are found in the Bible:
- Behemoth (beast), created by God (Job 40:15–19 (10–14 in some translations)), is probably a sauropod (a very large herbivorous dinosaur with a long neck and tail, small head, and massive limbs).
- Leviathan (Job 41:1–34 (40:20–41:25 in some translations), Isaiah 27:1), is probably a plesiosauri (a swimming reptile, not classified as a dinosaur because it's not a land-living animal).
- Flying reptiles. A flying serpent is mentioned in Isaiah 14:29, 30:6.
The Book of Job was written about 2000 BC. These creatures were
apparently still alive at this time. Isaiah was written about 700 BC.
The Hebrew word Tanniyn (Dragon in English) is used in several places
in the Hebrew version of the Bible (although it's usually not translated as Dragon
in modern translations). The word Dragon in the Bible can be an old word
for dinosaur (land-living animal) or similar (swimming reptile and flying reptile):
apparently still alive at this time. Isaiah was written about 700 BC.

The size of Noah's Ark was enormous (Gen (1 Mos) 6:14–16), see
The Flood at the Time of Noah. A pair of each kind of reptile was brought into
the ark (Gen (1 Mos) 6:19–21). Although there are over 600 dinosaur names,
there are only about 60–80 kinds of dinosaurs. If 70 varieties, that means 140 dinosaurs on Noah's Ark. Only a few of the dinosaurs were huge,
most were small. Even the biggest started very small.
They could be brought to the ark when they were young and not so big.
All the animals in the ark would take up less than half the space of the ark.
See time 12:14–15:29 in the video This Will Change Your Mind on Noah’s Ark.

This means that we should be able to find some evidence for humans
and dinosaurs together. Since the word Dinosaur is a modern word,
the word Dragon was probably used instead. There are many legends about dragons, for example in China, which may have some truth behind them.
There are pictures of dinosaurs in caves, on rocks and pottery, created before
fossils of dinosaurs were found, indicating that people knew what dinosaurs look like. Most dinosaur fossils are probably from the Flood. The remaining ones have died out, which can be explained by various reasons (diseases, climate change, killed by men).
According to the theory of evolution, dinosaurs evolved into birds. Is this a fact?
Fossils of the dinosaur Sinocalliopteryx gigas have been found so well preserved that scientists could discern its stomach contents. They could see that the last it ate was a bird dinner consisting of two birds. Because the birds had only partially molted, the researchers were even able to identify the bird species as Confuciusornis sanctus, see Dinosaur feeding on birds. This suggests that birds lived at the same time as the dinosaurs, and that the dinosaurs didn't die out as long ago as evolutionists claim.
Soft tissue, proteins, and even double-stranded DNA have been found in dinosaur bones by Mary Schweitzer, see the video Finding tissue and DNA from a dinosaur. She is a Christian but also a theistic evolutionist who believes in the high ages.
Her explanation is that the iron in the hemoglobin preserved the tissues
for this long time, as described in the video. But it's a very unnatural situation
with a highly concentrated hemoglobin solution carefully prepared using advanced technical equipment and carefully selected chemicals. At least in relation to how
the situation would be in a dinosaur bone in the wild. And one wonders
how the same blood vessels could be preserved 30 million times longer in nature
(60 million years instead of two as in Schweitzer's experiments).
See this explained in more detail, especially from time 11:59 in the video
What Does Soft Tissue in Dinosaur Bones Mean for Evolution?
and time 36:01–39:51 in Spike Psarris - Thermodynamics Confirms Creation.
Additionally, significant amounts of C-14 have been detected in dinosaur bones, something that shouldn't be detected if the bones were older than 60,000 years,
