ok, just a little bit that we do know for sure:

Dinosaurs existed
They roamed the Earth for hundreds of millions of years
Genesis, which is in your holy books, was plagurized from other unrelated
writings - mainly Sumerian.

could it be that: Genesis is only a story and Adam and Eve never lived and that
is why the Dinosaurs are not in the Bible? I mean, just sit back and think about
it with an objective eye. There is a huge preponderance of evidence to support
this. And dont use the "we weren't there so we can't know line" Have you ever
met your great, great, great, great grandfather? NO, so we cant prove he
existed!!! in fact, the only sure way to prove he existed is through his
progeny, or his bones.
