Christians and Dinosaurs

I was recently watching the old monster movie, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, and realized that when I watched these movies as a child I believed that humans and dinosaurs lived together on the earth. I know the fossil record doesn't support this, but this article makes an intriguing argument:

Most of us loved reading about dinosaurs at some time in our lives. In 1993, the movie "Jurassic Park" stimulated the public interest in dinosaurs far beyond its previous level. As a result, increasing numbers of people have thought, "Since we have found all these fossils and dinosaur bones, we know dinosaurs existed. How come they are not mentioned in the Bible?"
