There is no mention of dinosaurs in The Bible. However, the words cat or kangaroo are not there either. The word dinosaur has only been around since the middle of the 1800's. The Bible has many descriptions of animals in it (several fitting the description of dinosaurs - Job Chapters 40 and 41) and mentions dragons several times but remember even 'dragon' is a contemporary expression given as the best translation at the time.

According to some studies done by man on the age of dinosaur remains, man did not exist in the time of the dinosaurs and therefore, by mans reasoning, they cannot have existed in biblical times as man was there from the start. (or at least T+6 days)

Since this question is framed from a biblical viewpoint it should be answered accordingly. In the book of Genesis God tells us He created the land animals on day 6 and again in the book of Exodus written in the middle of the ten commandments God tells us to keep the sabbath holy "for in six days God created the Heaven and the Earth and ALL that in them is." Therefore, they were created on day 6 and are essentially alive today just certain species have died off, were killed, or could not adapt to the post Noachic flood environment.

Also note, we are living in Biblical times even now.
