So if God created all the animals over the course of a few days, why doesn't the bible mention dinosaurs?
And slow your roll those of you who are already about tell me about Leviathan and Behemoth. There are very good arguments why those are not dinosaurs and very few good arguments that they are dinosaurs. More importantly, they are mentioned as one offs. Single entities while dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes covered the planet.
If men lived alongside dinosaurs (at least until the flood) why are these awe-inspiring beasts not mentioned at all while goats and sheep and vultures and lions get mentioned all the damn time?

That is interesting. It could be because, Apostles might not be aware of dinosaurs that time... or they might have forgot to mention.
@SW-User According to the christian narrative, the bible is the word of their omniscient god so he must have wriiten or, at the very least, dictated it. It is inconceivable that an omniscient god would have been unaware of dinosaurs, or anything at all for that matter.
But he bible is not just the new testament. The old testament is the many times larger than the new and ostensibly covers thousands of years of history so the ignorance of the Apostles would not account for the lack of mention of dinosaurs.
As for the idea that they wouldn't have been aware of dinosaurs...well that could be true if indeed all the dinosaurs died in the flood but if not, dinosaurs were absolutely everywhere and there were a lot of different kinds of them. That would be like a modern person not being aware that birds are around.
