No. Dinosaurs are never mentioned in the Bible, and there is overwhelming scientific evidence that dinosaurs died out long before human beings were created. So dinosaurs could not have been on the ark.

The difficulty here is that the date of Adam can be calculated from genealogical information in the Bible to be approximately 6000 years ago, or possibly a little longer. So human remains that are much older than that cannot have been descendants of Adam. There are three major views that attempt to account for this [...]
There are (at least) two ways to think about this question. The first is to look for a simple, scientific explanation: does science tell us about any lights that were created before the sun? The second is to look for a different interpretation of the passage: is it definitely the case that we should be [...]
According to Robert Young’s ‘Analytical Concordance to the Bible’ (First Published 1879) Yom is the Hebrew word for ‘day’. Young’s index-lexicon to the Old Testament reveals that in the King James Version, Yom is predominantly translated as ‘day’ (1167 occurrences), followed by ‘time’ (65 occurrences). The word was also infrequently translated as ‘weather’, ‘daily’, ‘remain’ [...]
The simple answer is that we don’t know, because the Bible does not tell us. However, there are hints which may suggest that it did. After Adam and Eve sinned by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God spoke to Adam, Eve and the serpent. The key verse [...]
Adam was the first man and Eve was the first woman. Genesis 1 gives the summary of creation, while Genesis 2 gives some extra detail, including the information that God had created a male first (Adam) and only created a woman (Eve) after the man had realised that none of the animals was a fit [...]
In relation to the creation of humans, the phrase ‘very good’ (Gen. 1:31) does not necessarily mean ‘being unable to sin’. When God made the earth, everything was just as he intended it to be. This included making humans with the capacity to be able to make choices, including the choice between obeying or disobeying [...]
The description of the creation of human beings in Genesis implies that Adam and Eve were the only ones that God created. Adam couldn’t find a suitable helper (Genesis 2:20 — suggesting there were no other human beings around) and Eve is described as “the mother of all the living” (Genesis 3:20). Similarly, in the [...]
When God created human beings he said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis [...]
Genesis was originally written in Hebrew, and the early chapters of Genesis use two different Hebrew words for man: adam and ish. Adam can mean either man, human or humankind, or it can refer to the specific person named “Adam”. Translators have to determine the meaning from context. For example, in Gen 2:20 the word [...]
