I was on a plane yesterday and to kill time I picked up the most recent National Geographic Magazine. The cover story was "Bizarre Dinosaurs."
Honestly, as a Christian I've always struggled with the whole dinosaur thing. If God created human beings millions of years ago, and we lived with these things, like, wouldn't that have sucked big-time? My heart never would have stopped racing, constantly dodging these things around every corner. Right now the biggest worry in my day is if my car's engine will give out.
Imagine running along the road and having a bird six times larger than you swoop down and plucking your jogging buddy off the ground and taking him up to the top of a tree and feeding him to his kids. Not too fun, unless you're Chuck Norris.

Why differentiate between dinosaurs and any other animals God created? There are plenty of critters around today that can kill you too! In fact, throughout the fossil record dinosaur bones are found alongside bones of creatures that exist today (unchanged from their contemporaries). Since this is unexpected if evolution is true, scientists call these "living fossils", and there are hundreds of examples. I personally belive God created dinosaurs alongside all the other animals and man at creation. The bible tells us that in the beginning everything was vegetarian. This obviously changed after the fall and/or flood. To the extent man didn't already kill off most of the dinosaurs if they had become meat eaters by then, Noah probably took some dinosaurs on the ark along with the other animals. The post flood world was a lot harsher place to live, so I think they probably died out for good shortly after that due to low reproductive rates, harsh cold climates (was there an ice age caused by the flood?) and overhunting by man especially if they were as vicious as they seem they might have been. Obviously I don't feel the need to interject millions of years, there is no reason all this could not have transpired in the time frame straight forwardly presented in scripture, if the flood and it's effects are properly understood and taken into account (2 Pet 3:3-6).
