Of course you will find some that believe that dinosaurs and man co-existed at the same time
I remember I was in 10th grade and my chemistry teacher was talking to kids in class and said dinosaurs and humans lived during the same time. That was without a doubt the craziest **** I have ever heard in my life. He was also a Tea Party nut case who loved watching Glenn Beck, and thinks Obama was a socialist who was born in Liberia.
Dinosaurs are real and evolved, just like we (humans) did. Adam and Eve is a fairy tale, as it has no evidence. Look at any picture of Adam and Eve, and they will have a belly button. Why do they have belly buttons if they were the first humans? Belly buttons are the mark of a human that has had an umbilical cord, which also means they were born from a woman's womb.
I went to Catholic school for 12, count em, 12 years, and I had a teacher in 10th grade who was a priest who told us that the whole creation story is a fable of sorts, that a 'day' could have been millions of years in God's eyes. Adam and Eve were symbols of the evolution of man. I can't for the life of me figure out why people think evolution and creation are two mutually exclusive things. This priest made it pretty clear...evolution is a fact, and everything that evolved was created by God. Simple stuff really.
If you are asking why God created anything - that is a whole other topic. He did create the dinosaurs. The tie-in with Adam and Eve? All the animals were created before Adam - and Adam gave names to all of them - Genesis 1:19-20. There were dinosaurs living after the Flood. God very clearly describes a dinosaur when he talks to Job about Behemoth(Job 40:15-24). Behemoth was an animal which Job was aware of - he could look at this animal and understand the description God gave. This animal then lived at the time Job did. The dinosaurs are now extinct. They did not go extinct several millions years ago (talk about fairy tales - the evolution people have that market corned!). The reasons for the extinction are unknown however species go extinct all the time - why should it be so hard to reason the dinosaurs went away for the same types of reasons: lack of food, predators(humans are at the top of the food chain), disease ,natural disaster, habitat imbalance, etc...The earth was very different after the Flood - if the dinosaurs could not adapt to the change they would have slowly died off.

Whoa there big fella, God did not create dinos, and they are not all extinct....Many are still with us today thanks to evolution...As far as the rest of mythical stuff like the flood, etc. these are your fairy tales...People like you have the market "corned" on those for sure.

He was correct about the fable part. Adam and Eve were characters in a Mesopotamian creation myth that predates the Bible and have no connection with its god or evolution. Likewise, the days of creation in the Bible are in no way analogous with millions of years. In the myth they were meant to represent actual 24 hour periods.
It is silly to try and find parallels in a mythological fantasy story with factual events in our world and universe.

Entirely possible. Just not the Biblical god. We know his origins.
There are an estimated 100 to 400 billion birds in the world today.
Looks like dinosaurs are far from being extinct.
Birds are not dinosaurs. It takes a really active imagination to come to that conclusion - expecially when there are no transitory fossils in the current known fossil record to back up the claim. Evolutionists never cease to amaze me in their inability to think logically.
