What about dinosaurs?

Some Christians think that the Earth isn’t old enough to support the existence of dinosaurs. Using various Biblical family trees, they trace the start of the world to around 6,000 - 12,000 years ago. Dinosaur fossils however suggest they existed billions of years ago, making the world and its inhabitants much older. Christians who believe in this ‘young’ Earth may either argue that dinosaurs never existed or that they existed more recently and the dating of fossils is unreliable.
