The Bible say that people were created on the sixth day but they say that dinosaurs were around with no people so did dinosaurs only live for six days?

No. There were two important periods during which dinosaurs roamed the earth.
The first period was the Jurassic period, from about 206 million years ago until around 144 million years ago. At the end of this period, there was a Great Extinction, caused by a catastrophic natural event, in which nearly all the dinosaurs died out.
A few dinosaurs survived from the Jurassic period and evolved over time into a new ecology of dinosaurs, both large and small. This was the Cretaceous period, which lasted from about 144 million years ago until around 95 million years ago. Once again, a catastrophic natural event brought the Cretaceous period to a close, but this time all the dinosaurs died out. Fortunately, there were a few land animals left to survive: birds, reptiles, mammals, insects and Spiders, etc. From those few early mammals, the many mammals we know today have evolved, including even mankind.
So dinosaurs have lived on earth for many millions of years, all before the arrival of people.

Did dinosaurs live during the day of Job?
Dinosaurs were killed by a meteor or asteroid, about a million years before people were around, so NO, there were no dinosaurs around the time of Job, or any other human being in the Bible, or any human being anywhere on the Earth.
Why are dinosaurs not in The Bible?
A:The Bible began to be written around two and a half thousand years ago, and reflects what people of that time knew and believed about the world. Since the last dinosaurs became extinct around 64 million years ago, the ancients had no way of knowing about dinosaurs. However, some modern writers improbably claim that references to mythical monsters such as leviathan could be references to dinosaurs. Additionally:Because extinct dinosaurs aren't pertinent to the Bible's message of the good news of the coming Kingdom of God and man's salvation.
Do dinosaurs exists before Adam and Eve?
well if you believe or live by the bible, the bible says that Adam and eve were the very first people ever. nobody else not Adam, eve, and joey, and bobby. Just Adam and eve. But i do know most scientist believe that there were dinosaurs back then, but that is in the theory of evolution. so no, dinosaurs were not around during Adam and eves time unless god created them after Adam and eve.
Is there a connection between the Bible and the times of the dinosaurs?
A:No. The last dinosaurs became extinct around 65 million years ago. On the other hand, the Bible was written over a period of several hundred years, around two thousand years ago. Not only is the Bible of quite recent origin, its authors had no concept of dinosaurs and therefor did not mention them.

Dinosaurs lived when Adam was alive in the Bible. The Bible says God created all animals. Then Noah must've seen them when he led 2 in an ark. So, BC.
Are there people living in dinosaur era?
No, unless you consider birds dinosaurs (some people do; dinosaurs and birds form a clade).Science says dinosaurs (of the sort normally meant by "dinosaurs", i.e. not birds) became extinct tens of millions of years ago; humans have been around for maybe a couple of millions of years tops, and that's if you're exceptionally generous with your definition of "human".Some creationists think dinosaurs must have coexisted with humans, but there's one big problem with this: the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs, or anything like dinosaurs, hanging around in Genesis anywhere. Some people play games with the wording of the second sentence of Genesis and put dinosaurs in the time between "God created the heavens and the earth" and "The earth became without form and void." In this case they were still gone before humans arrived on the scene.
On what day did god create dinosaurs?
Nobody knows because when you read the bible it starts with the earth and then people.
When were the dinausoars around in the bible times?
The bible may refer to dinosaurs in Job 40:15. "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox."
Why don't I read about dinosaurs in the Bible?
I think its because people wrote the bible right? So that would mean people would have to be alive and on earth to write about dinosaurs. Well I think dinosaurs are not in the bible because nobody was alive in that time except god! Dinosaurs and modern humans are separated in time by about 65 million years. We are fascinated with dinosaurs now because our scientists are learning so much about them -- finding fossils, piecing together skeletons, learning their diets, climate they lived in and much more. But the Bible is addressed to modern men and women (it was written within the last 6-7000 years. Its a book to tell us who God is, what our relationship to him should be, and how we should treat each other. The Bible is not a scientific textbook. It does contain lots of history but mostly for the people who descended from Abraham. God obviously didn't think we needed to learn about dinosaurs in the Bible. He let our scientists explain them over the last 2-3 years.
