Why haven't I seen this on any of the major networks?
The fact that this is not getting any airtime is an outrage!

All part of the anti-Christian conspiracy lobby. They'd rather spend more time and funds figuring out how to use research money to keep themselves ticking over on marihuana and orgies than look at real science and proof.
Re: it true that folk liveds wiv dinosaws in the oldin days
Yes man did live with Dinosaurs. I have looked at another Christian website answersfromgenisis.org (I know nothing about them,they could be wet 'all is peace and love', happy clappy hippy types).
They suggest that dinosaurs were actually on the ark so were definitely around with Noah and his family. The following is from their website. However I would much rather trust the Biblical knowledge of forum members who may be able to help me with how it relates to the true word of KJV1611.
Were Dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark?
The story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, and most magazines and textbooks is that dinosaurs “ruled the Earth” for 140 million years, died out 65 million years ago, and therefore weren’t around when Noah and company set sail on the Ark around 4,300 years ago. However, the Bible gives a completely different view of Earth (and therefore, dinosaur) history. As God’s written Word to us, we can trust it to tell the truth about the past. (For more information about the reliability of Scripture, see Get Answers: Bible.)
Although the Bible does not tell us exactly how long ago it was that God made the world and its creatures, we can make a good estimate of the age of the universe by carefully studying the whole counsel of Scripture:
God made everything in six days, and rested on the seventh. (By the way, this is the basis for our seven day week—Exodus 20:8–11). Leading Hebrew scholars indicate that, based on the grammatical structure of Genesis 1, these “days” were of normal length, and did not represent long periods of time (see Get Answers: Genesis).
We are told God created the first man and woman—Adam and Eve—on Day 6, along with the land animals (which would have included dinosaurs).
The Bible records the genealogies from Adam to Christ. From the ages given in these lists (and accepting that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to Earth around 2,000 years ago), we can conclude that the universe is only a few thousand years old (perhaps just 6,000), and not millions of years old (see also Did Jesus Say He Created in Six Literal Days?). Thus, dinosaurs lived within the past few thousand years.
So, Were Dinosaurs on the Ark?
In Genesis 6:19–20, the Bible says that two of every sort of land vertebrate (seven of the “clean” animals) were brought by God to the Ark. Therefore, dinosaurs (land vertebrates) were represented on the Ark. How Did Those Huge Dinosaurs Fit on the Ark?
Although there are about 668 names of dinosaurs, there are perhaps only 55 different “kinds” of dinosaurs. Furthermore, not all dinosaurs were huge like the brachiosaurus, and even those dinosaurs on the Ark were probably “teenagers” or young adults. Creationist researcher John Woodmorappe has calculated that Noah had on board with him representatives from about 8,000 animal genera (including some now-extinct animals), or around 16,000 individual animals as a maximum number. When you realize that horses, zebras, and donkeys are probably descended from the horse-like “kind,” Noah did not have to carry two sets of each such animal. Also, dogs, wolves, and coyotes are probably from a single canine “kind,” so hundreds of different dogs were not needed. According to Genesis 6:15 , the Ark measured 300 x 50 x 30 cubits, which is about 510 x 85 x 51 feet, with a volume of about 2.21 million cubic feet. Researchers have shown that this is the equivalent volume of over 500 semitrailers of space. 1 Without getting into all the math, the 16,000-plus animals would have occupied much less than half the space in the Ark (even allowing them some moving-around space). Conclusion
The Bible is reliable in all areas, including its account of the Ark (and the worldwide catastrophic Flood). A Christian doesn’t have to have a blind faith to believe that there really was an Ark. What the Bible says about the Ark can even be measured and tested today.
All sounds very reasonable to me, especially the part about the teenage dinosaurs. My only query is that Genesis 7:2 suggests there may have been 7 of each (were dinosaurs clean animals?). That would have been a sqeeze surely.
Also Genesis 8:20 suggests that Noah sacrificed some of the clean animals. Difficult to imagine him getting a Brontosaurus onto the alter ,even a teenage one, but I suppose he must have.

I know God wouldn't let me believe in Him if He didn't exist.
Re: it true that folk liveds wiv dinosaws in the oldin days
That's a great theory!
My theory was GOD shrunk all the big animals down; whatever wouldn't fit in the cage got shrunk to fit the minute Noah lead them to the door.
Noah had absolute faith they would fit, and viola, fit they do!
We won't know the "how" until we get to Heaven; the Bible just tells us what happened, not every detail.
I hope I get hit by a logging truck today and go to Heaven so I can find out! Praise God!

Re: it true that folk liveds wiv dinosaws in the oldin days
Since dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible they get a lot more attention than a lot of other animals that we have today. I love the description in Job 40:15-24 about the behemoth (some sort of dinosaur).
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. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play . 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about . 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
It's just a majestic description of the wonders of creation the Lord made.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. Proverbs 23:13
