This thread goes into this a lot.

I had about 2 very lengthy posts that had my hypothesis on how scientific and biblical explanation coincide depending on your interpretation of 7 days in Genesis. I won't post them here because they are very lengthy and you can just read them there. 

Dinosaurs are my favorite animals, so naturally this thread attracted my attention!

I believe that science and the Bible -do- go hand in hand!  This statement does cover dinosaurs and the age of the earth and...*waves her hand about*....all sorts of things!

If you take the time to do some research, what you will find is that many of our supposed method for measuring the ages of things are very inaccurate. Unfortunately, I'm probably not the best to describe it all or go into detail. However, I can give you something to look into!

Take a look at some of these videos , whether you're a Christian or not.  Most of them are quite lengthy, but I can say they are -not- boring.  The guy does a really great job of keeping listeners interested while making sure he gets his info out there.   It would answer all your questions on why many of us believe dinosaurs are perfectly compatible with the young age of the earth and the story of creation.  Hovind uses science, research, hardcore evidence, and mathematics to show you why!  

Well, the earth was obviously not created only 6000 years ago. Each day, in my opinion, refers to a stage of Creation, rather than literal passage of time. Time really didn't exist then as we know it now, so how could the process possibly be measured out in seven even days? Later in the Bible it is said that one day is like 1000 years to G-D. So now if we apply that, were already at what, 6 million years? So when reading Creation, understand that man over 4000 yeas ago could not have possibly understood terms such as "billion". Its a mind-bending task to this day when considering the universe. Within this framework, there is no reason that dinos could not have existed and thrived as mainstream science hypothesizes.

Personally I believe, as Kabbalah teaches, that evolution does not spar against G-D. G-D used evolution as the mechanism for Creating life. In fact, if you familiarize yourself with basics of evolutionary theory, you will begin to see proof of its use as a mechanism within the Creation account itself! Imagine the excitement of our Creator as He saw Creation unfold, branching into millions of species, each rooted ultimately within the DNA He fashioned (anthropomorphic, I know). We look too often at the outside of a creature, not realizing that within every living creature shares DNA, from the geothermal worms to ourselves. Dinos were an important part of biology and evolution. The rule of the dinos instigated the evolution of the first mammal, a small rat-like creature, leading invariably to man and the fulfillment of G-D's Will.

I've heard before that God's Time is possibly bigger than ours, so It probably took him 65,000,000 years to fully create earth and bring humans. And when we came, the Dinos where gone.
