"Did the dinosaurs come before or after Bible times?". If you ask one of the young earth creationists, they will tell you *during* the bible times.

*Before* bible times. 5th day: fish and birds (1.Mose 1,20-23), 6th day: humans and animals (incl. dinos) (1.Mose 1,24-31). But the bible was written after J.C.got nailed

Um, excuse me. That part of the bible vastly predates the start of Christianity -- I believe the folks who consider those first five volumes to be the entirety of the Bible would tell you that history began more than 4000 years prior in fact.
