Since the creation of animals and man in Genesis, the most common animals mentioned in the Bible are the ones we know of. if the bible possess the absolute truth of God then dinosaurs should have been more present in the bible as we all know how incredibly enormous these creatures were.

If the earth is 6000 years old then how on earth or what on earth happened to the dinosaurs?

I think most creationists believe that they all died soon after the flood.

I just touched on this subject a week or two ago. NO, there are no dinosaurs in The Bible. Dinos died out millions of years before humans existed and before the Bible was ever dreamt of.

Creationists will try to sell the "Behemoth" described in the book of Job as a dinosaur/sauropod, but under close scrutiny and proper translation, this claim doesn't hold water:

I suspect that someone is going to present a passage from the Bible that supposedly describes dinosaurs. Even flame throwing dinos no less.

How the hell could something as awesome as fire breathing dragons go extinct?

It is a good question. One can only presume that the writers of the bible were around long long after the dinos and didn't have any real knowledge of them.

it's funny that i got answers so far from non creationist, it is truly hard to know whether man coexisted with dinosaurs because none of us where there to witness. Me personally the earth is not 6000 years old and the bible was written to apply the universal laws to man kind. Basically Men of wisdom like you and i wrote the bible.

Considering dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago and anything remotely resembling a human has only been around for a million years or so (modern humans only for around 100,000 of those), I'd say it is not hard to know at all...

Actually, I would have written an original story, not plagiarize earlier myths as the authors of the Bible did.
