I always assumed dinosaurs were simply part of creation. But I've been reading the various books of Enoch which made me wonder about a different explanation.
Most of you should already be familiar with the idea that fallen angels took human wives and the offspring were giants up to 11,000 ft tall (according to Enoch, much smaller elsewhere). But the Enochian books also talk of more mischief that the Nephilim got into, where their offspring created even more monstrous creatures. There's even a scrap of text describing them as having colors.
So, just wild speculation here, but what if at least some of those "monsters" were what we now think of as dinosaurs? It would explain why they were killed off in the flood, since the flood was meant in part to destroy the giants.
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
There are tales of giants (WAY smaller than 11,000 ft.) in many different cultures. The Bible also names some tribes (like the Anakim) as being relatives of the Nephilim. And people have unearthed skeletons of 8 to 30 ft tall people, IIRC. So I guess that's the "also afterward" part.
Finally, long ago, I came up with a hypothesis that demons are the corrupted spirits of the dead Nephilim (or maybe their offspring), which is why they desire to possess people to experience some measure of the fleshly experiences they once had. To my surprise, that's exactly what the books of Enoch say - that demons are the leftover spirits of the dead half human/half angels, and are cursed to wander the earth, always hungry but never able to satisfy that hunger.
