The WTS interprets dinosaur to mean small lizards...so it could have been...but the bible doesn't say. Not sure where your question is going.

If the Hebrew expression translated “great sea monsters” [Hebrew, tan·ni·nim′] includes dinosaurs, which often inhabited swampy, watery areas, this would mean that dinosaurs were created on the fifth “day.” (Gen. 1:21) We do not know whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth “day”). At the very latest it seems likely that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Noah’s day.Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some kinds of dinosaurs bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to lizards (sauros is, in fact, the Greek word for “lizard”; saura in Leviticus 11:29, LXX). Not all types of dinosaurs were of such gigantic size. Hence, even if they had survived till the Flood, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark. Other smaller members of the particular family or “kind” to which these belonged would have sufficed to fulfill the divine command.

Yes of course God said two of every kind so dinosaurs had to be included in that number.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a pain though because they kept on eating the other smaller animals, which really pissed off Noah
for he had to go back aand recapture those that got eaten.

ScienceDaily (May 13, 2011) — Remains found near the Arctic Circle characteristic of Mousterian culture(1) have recently been dated at over 28,500 years old, which is more than 8,000 years after Neanderthals are thought to have disappeared. This unexpected discovery by an international multi-disciplinary team, including researchers from CNRS(2), challenges previous theories. Could Neanderthals have lived longer than thought? Or had Homo sapiens already migrated to Europe at that stage?
Good example of Science and their incorrect theories. That quote just shows how scientists really have no idea.

? I just thought it showed they analyze and question new evidence as it
arises in relationship to previous findings.

That's what you got from that quote? Fine-tuning previously held theories is what science is all about.

It's what some science is about. Other science is about presenting your ideas as fact until you are proved wrong. Then coming up with a new theory that you can tell people they are stupid about if they don't agree. Evolution theorists do this constantly.
