How does religion, any religion, explain

How does religion, any religion, explain the period of dinosaurs on the Earth, where science shows that man did not exist yet?

In Christian circles this is usually in quoting certain Scriptures to indicate the remnants of dinosaurs, such as a behemoth that "moves his tail like a cedar" (Job 40:15-17), or a reference to Leviathan. However this approach doesn't do much *post* a worldwide flood. But then some Christians believe in a local one instead.

From the research I've read/seen, Dinosaurs may actually be a very big fiction. No complete skeletons are found. Instead, models are constructed from just a few bones. The large structures one sees in museums are not real bones, they are facades and the reason given is that the real bones cannot be put on display lest they possibly be damaged. When they first started to be "found" there was some fraud going on as interest was gathering and there was $$ to be made.

Today of course, because of movies, people often *want* to believe they existed, as it makes the story/movie more immersible / exciting.

Job, the oldest book in the Bible mentions them as Leviathan. The Six Days of Creation:

What if everything you see in the world around you is God's eternal decree made visible by his creation of time, space and matter?

In Hebrews 11:3 the writer says; “By faith, we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.”

Calvin translates it; “so that they became the visibles of things not visible,” or, not apparent. And then says; “thus the same truth is taught here, as in Rom. 1:20, where it is said, that the invisible things of God are made known to us by the creation of the world, they being seen in his works.”

So are we looking at eternity made visible through the matter God created to make it visible? And this can easily fit into 6 literal days. Because the distances and age were already here. Only now made visible 6-7000 years ago.

The same way metal shavings when dusted on a piece of paper with a magnet below, reveal the magnetic waves. Like a huge house, light-years across. Where God applies matter and all the lights come on at once. Taking moments for what would take trillions of light-years using space-time measurements?

Religion itself is way as man teach it does not explain the existence of dinosaurs.
Christianity, the main religion of this Earth most likely has misinterpreted the definition of the Hebrew word written for day. That or whosoever rewrote the scriptures actually use the wrong Hebrew word for d a y. ( rewritten after Jerusalem was destroyed by Babylon and/or after Jerusalem was destroyed by Rome).
There is ongoing discussions on whether the Hebrews word used for d a y actually means a long period of time.
