I can image if their dna numbers were more advanced than us today.

I can imagine it... and, they were more healthier and stronger than today. They worked harder than today. They even can think better than people's today.

Is what you mean that Christian bible are prefect and 100% correct?

Most natural history museums constantly update their exhibits as more research finds new information

Yes

What is funnier, that's because Jesus is and isn't the same person as God. this is a concept that our little human brains are incapable of understand, The same, but not the same, get it :) we can only blindly follow, thus believe or not.
That is exactly why I am sceptical about these things as absolute truths. Who knows how many times over the God's word was twisted before it eneded up registered in the Bible. The closest I would believe is the stone tables God himself (supposedly) burned with the messages and gave it to Moses.
But how do you prove it was him indeed, not Moses - he was alone on the mountain when that happened..

That, and plus, it is ridiculous how diferrent religions insist THEIR is the only truth.

Yeah


As for dinos- well we can't dispute the proof they did existed since their discovered skeletons are real?

Yes they have original fossils in British Natural museum. It proves that Dinosaurs was existed on the earth.

Baby male and baby female dinosaurs. Later, they mature and can reproduce.


We don't have all animals here except dinosaurs. Hundreds of animals, fish, and birds have become extinct after the Flood. Just a few examples: the eastern elk, several species of cisco, several kinds of clams, the passenger pigeon, the dodo bird, and the Carolina parakeet are extinct. Dinosaurs aren't the only animals that have disappeared.

Interesting... What about big fishes like Whales, etc.? I beleive that Noah would not have Whales in Ark because they are too big to fit in Ark but Whales and other fishes are still existed after flood because they are too big to disappear... It's exactly example about Dinosaurs?

And check those link:

Could Dinosaurs Have Been in the Ark?
No Bible story picture book I have ever seen shows dinosaurs marching up the gangplank of the ark, side by side with elephants and bears. However, Dr. Brown claims it could have been and he has scriptural support

Dr. Brown says: Yes. God told Noah to put representatives of every kind of land animal on the Ark. (Some dinosaurs were semiaquatic and could have survived outside the Ark.) But why put adult dinosaurs on the Ark? Young dinosaurs would take up less room, eat less, and be easier to manage. The purpose for having animals on board was so they could reproduce after the flood and repopulate the earth. Young dinosaurs would have more potential for reproduction than old dinosaurs. Most, if not all, dinosaurs hatched from eggs. The largest dinosaur eggs ever found were a foot long. Hatchlings, even after a year of growth while on the Ark, would be quite easy to handle.

Dr. Brown goes on to say: The Book of Job is one of the oldest books ever written. In it, God tells Job of his greatness as Creator and describes an animal, called Behemoth, as follows: Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox. Behold now, his strength in his loins, And his power in the muscles of his belly. He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron. (Job 40:15–18)

Marginal notes in most Bibles speculate that Behemoth was probably an elephant or a hippopotamus, but those animals have tails like ropes. Behemoth had a “tail like a cedar.” Any animal with a tail as huge and strong as a cedar tree is probably a dinosaur. Job 40:19–24 describes this giant, difficult-to-capture animal as not alarmed by a raging river. If the writer of Job knew of a dinosaur, then the evolution position is wrong, and man saw dinosaurs. The next chapter of Job describes another huge, fierce animal, a sea monster named Leviathan. It was not a whale or crocodile, because the Hebrew language had other words to describe such animals. Leviathan may be a plesiosaur (PLEE see uh sore), a large seagoing reptile that evolutionists [sic] say became extinct 60 million years before man evolved.

Another link:

Why did God not take dinosaurs into the ark? In Genesis 6:12 we find the answer. “And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Satan, the being who rebelled against God, cannot create, but he can change. The entrance of sin into the world allowed Satan to corrupt humans and other living creatures. Now we have leaves changed to thorns, teeth changed to poison fangs, genes changed into viruses and useful bacteria into disease producers. Satan corrupted some of the reptiles God originally created into the bizarre creatures we call dinosaurs. God chose not to save them at the time of the Flood. Perhaps God also saw that feeble post-flood humans would not be able to control such large animals. Thus, we suggest that God preserved the air-breathing, land animals, except the very large animals and the corrupted ones.

You see now that every author have different opinions after read scriputures...

This is logical that humans are not able to control large animals...

I had the feeling that dinosaurs were existed on the earth many years before Adam's creation.

Whales are mammals, not fish.

Mammals that live in the water, such as whales, porpoises, dolphins, stayed in the water during the Flood. Fish, shell fish, and other "sea creatures" stayed in the water during the Flood.

Yes, you are correct that whales are mammals, not fish...

Dinosaurs? There're some of dinosaurs who live under the water. What about them?

Same for them as fish and mammals that live in the water.
 
A very recent example that scientists are constantly changing their theories about dinosaurs:

Dinosaurs May Have Eaten Grass
By LAURAN NEERGAARD, Associated Press Writer
Thu Nov 17, 5:24 PM ET

... A new discovery debunks the theory that grasses didn't emerge until long after the dinosaurs died off...
Click to expand...

... grasses must have originated considerably earlier, well over 80 million years ago, for such a wide variety to have evolved and spread to the Indian subcontinent in time to be munched by sauropods, they concluded.
Click to expand...
Or, dinosaurs were actually created later than scientists thought, and the grass varieties were already there for them to eat. :)

"These remarkable results will force reconsideration of many long-standing assumptions" about dinosaur ecology, wrote Dolores Piperno and Hans-Dieter Sues of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in an accompanying review.

Beyond the great curiosity about dinosaur life, the discovery has implications about the coevolution of this huge plant family — there are about 10,000 separate grass species — with other plant-eaters, Piperno explained.

You can read the whole story at:

Sure, they change their theories about dinosaurs because of new discoveries. It would be silly to ignore new discoveries because they could tell us things we didn't know before, like there being grass by 80 million years ago. They found that from looking at dinosaur dung. Because the teeth of the big plant eating dinosaurs don't seem to be good for eating grass, they think that it may not have been the main food. They mentioned an early mammal they found with teeth that could handle grass.
The last dinosaurs we've found were from 65 million years ago, so there was grass during the last 15 million years of the dinosaurs' time. The earliest ones we have found are from about 230 million years ago. So the dinosaurs lasted for about 165 million years. If there was grass for the last 15 million years of the dinosaurs' existence, then there was grass for only about nine percent of the dinosaurs' existence.
The plants that were around before dinosaurs included ferns, conifers, ginkgo trees, which has fossils from 270 million years ago, horsetails, which had reached heights of 30m tall, and the now extinct seed ferns, which disappeared by the end of the Triassic. Flowering plants developed during the Jurassic and diversified during the Cretaceous. So there was plenty of food for plant eating dinosaurs before grasses developed.

The Bible talks about everything that supposedly happened on Earth since the dawn of time. Yet, there's no mention of dinosaurs. What's up with that?

1. The word "dinosaur" is modern; it is not a biblical word. There are other creatures in the Bible that were called by other names that could have been dinosaurs.

2. There are lots of animals that are not named in the Bible; that doesn't mean that they didn't exist--it just means that it wasn't necessary to list them all in the Bible. "Cats" aren't in the Bible either but that doesn't mean they didn't exist.

3. The Bible talks about everything that happened that God considered relevant and important to His revelation to us. It would be impossible to put everything that happened to everyone at every minute thru history into one book. God gave us as much as we need to know for our salvation and holy living.

Cats are mentioned in Egyptian history, which is about as old as the Bible.
