The does NOT address the TIME when the dinos roamed this earth and there was NO flesh man roaming with them.

Job is believed to have been a contemporary of Abraham. The Biblical descriptions of Leviathan and Behemoth would qualify them as dinos. Job was antediluvian. Dinos were antediluvian.

Job 40:15-19
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].

Job 41:1-10
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord [which] thou lettest down? 2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft [words] unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? 7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

"Leviathan" and "Behemoth" were dinosaurs? What criteria do you use to define a dinosaur?

The Holy Spirit does not neglect to put details that prove the foolishness of modern man.

Job 40:15-19 15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

17 He moveth his tail like a cedar:

Dum Dum's interpret this to mean he had a tail like a cedar. But then Dum Dum's never made it past the fourth grade.

JOB 40:14 \40:19\He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach him.

JOB 40:15 \40:20\Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

JOB 40:16 \40:21\He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.Not really that big.

JOB 40:17 \40:22\The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook encompass him.Willows are not that big...

JOB 40:18 \40:23\Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.If you have to be literal in your interpretation, how do you explain that he could draw up Jordan into his mouth? hmmmm

JOB 40:19 \40:24\He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

JOB 40:20 \41:1\Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

JOB 40:21 \41:2\Canst thou put a hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
