Okay the dinosaur thing is easily explained by the gap theory which many here reject. How ever they cannot explain the question you have asked. The gap theory simply states that there is a gap between God creating the heavens and the earth and the six days of creation. The leg that we stand on is this. The bible clearly states that everything God created was good and the evening and the morning were the first day. When God created the Heavens and Earth there is no mention of the evening and morning being the first day. The first day He commanded dry land to appear and He called it Earth. However some where between in eternity past, the earth BECAME void and full of DARKNESS. How did it become that way seeing that everything God created was good. Clearly there was stuff going on here preadamically. This stuff was destroyed by God with a flood. Remember that the earth was covered in water and the Holy Spirit was hovering over the face of the deep. This is where demons come from, or can anyone come up with a better explanation?

His ways are love and respect. Anybody who loves love and respect will love God's ways.
Romans 13:9 The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Really were you there and witnessed these events. Who is to say that were not beings that walked as a man. They certainly built cities ( jeremiah). I was not there and can only go by the word of God. Why would God create a planet that was void and full of darkness. If look more closely the sun was allowed not made but allowed to shine on the earth. Why because it was already made in time past.
This is how God wants us to measure earthly days.
Genesis 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,
This is what I'd perceived from this verse was a description of what Moses has saw in his vision that in the middle of this sphere of water( that was suspended in this emptiness) was darkness floating around within the center of this sphere, while the light of God reflecting on the surface of it. Then a flash of light had appeared in the center of it like a sun, and then this light had dimmed and which this time period of this flash of light was considered to be called a day. So each flickering of this light is called a day and which God had made the sun to measured each flickering of light. I believe we are moving very quickly and all that has happened was just a mere moment of time consider to eternal time and which I believe that time is at a stand-still and which there isn't any night, but just day. We are use to having seasons but which Adam and Eve weren't use to this change in pattern, and which the Fall season represented the fall of them from the presence of God.
Genesis 1:5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Isaiah 40:22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
James 4:14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Yes, and that is why God had made the sun later for us to measured the time of these flickering. What if the sun is the nucleus and the planets orbiting it is the electrons and we are moving so rapidly but since everything is moving at the same speed that we are, and which it will seem that everything is moving at a moderate pace and which to us we will perceive it as a normal speed. I notice at times when I'd has waken from a sleep and it felt as if I'd slept for a moment and which it turned out to be hours, and then there were times that I'd felt that as if I'd slept for hours but it was just a moment of rest. I guess when we sleep, our minds can't measure the speed of time until we wake from the rest, then our minds adjust itself from its surroundings.
In the beginning He started out as a flicker until He fully manifest Himself to all.

Daniel 4:11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
