The Bible confirms all the observable evidence ie true science; but beware what the Bible calls....
keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
These are people who hate God and will misinterpret any observation in that light

I have seen dinosaur bones. There are big deposits near where I live. There are museums filled with the bones put together. My husband and I were both amazed at these creations of God.
Remember, the Bible talks about Leviathan and Behemoth - what do you suppose they are?
Science it the study of repeatable, observable events. What is in conflict about that and Christianity? Evolution is the theory that needs a lot of faith. It is not verifiable, and is being passed off as science, instead of a wild idea about origins that is unprovable. Macro-evolution is a lie. Micro-evolution - God built that into the genes of all creatures. Like produces after like. What is so difficult to understand about that?

Dinosaur was coined in the 1800's I believe. So, you wont find any reference to
"dinosuars" in God's word, since the word didn't exist in human language, when
the text was written. But what were dinosaurs? Very large reptiles, animals.
When you look at an alligator, you don't say, "look, a minature dinosaur."
If these large reptiles existed with man, then man would have viewed them in
the same light:
1. Its a reptile
2. An animal
3. A beast of the field.
We look at elephants and whales, and think nothing of it, because we are used to seeing them
and accept their large size, because that's how they are. People back then, would have seen
large reptiles, or large animals, with the same attitude.

First of all science and evolution are not the same things, and your post suggests that they are. Evolution is science, but science is extremely general. Science is everything from weather to biology to astronomy to chemistry to technology and... well, name something and science is probably somehow related.
As far as evolution goes, yes there are certainly people who have faith and who also agree with the theory of evolution, then there are people who have faith and don't. Faith is subjective and nearly everyone who is religious has slightly different beliefs (not everyone, but most people will vary from someone else at least a little). So it really depends on who you talk to. There are plenty of scientists who are religious and I know there are evolutionary scientists who are as well. It just depends on what your own personal beliefs are.

I was a jerk to you earlier, so maybe you don't want to hear anything from me.
I understand completely, and hope you'll accept my sincere apologies.
Having said that, I will refer you to this video by Kent Hovind.
I strongly encourage you to watch this.
It has a lot of good info, and your faith will be strengthened.
Brother Hovind has led countless people to the Lord with his videos.

The taxon Dinosauria was formally named in 1842 by paleontologist Sir Richard Owen, who used it to refer to the "distinct tribe or sub-order of Saurian Reptiles" that were then being recognized in England and around the world.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP]:103[/SUP] The term is derived from the Greek words δεινός (deinos, meaning "terrible," "potent," or "fearfully great") and σαῦρος(sauros, meaning "lizard" or "reptile").[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP]:103[/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] Though the taxonomic name has often been interpreted as a reference to dinosaurs' teeth, claws, and other fearsome characteristics, Owen intended it merely to evoke their size and majesty.[SUP][11]

Science is about studying with our five senses and Faith is about one sense, "hearing". Science is experimenting with intelligence which we get from God and Faith also which we get from God is believing we are saved from eternal damnation. You can't experiment with faith. The two have nothing in common. So how does science go into faith? I don't follow!

Good faith does not oppose good science. If either are bad, they will be in conflict, as with good faith in God verses bad science with respect to evolution. Truth doesn't mix well with falsehood. There are plenty of historical accounts of dinosaurs, so I wouldn't let dinosaur bones trouble you anymore than any other type of rare or extinct creature.
