I would assume that God put dinosaurs on earth, not just their bones.

lol, i wanna know why God put human bones on this earth first. hahaha! i'm just messing with you.

Simple. Land was made before animals. Humans come from land. That is why human bones were first

I'm loving all these answers! The first time I heard this question, the first answer I got literally was "To test our faith".

Why did God put Dinosaur bones on Earth?

God didn't put them here there a result of the flood.(see pol's answer)

Uh yeah he did. The flood was the perfect way to fossilize them.

I find a couple things bother some about this thread.   Not sure which one to go after first...

Why did God put Dragon bones on Earth?

Fixed. God didn't put bones anywhere, dragons died and left their bones (sometimes in large quantities, like during the flood).

LOL is this a joke?  Define the difference between a Dinosaur and a Dragon?  is there something I am missing?  1= mythylogical creature and 1= an extenct species?!?

and finally to stir the pot...

Why did God put Dinosaur bones on Earth?

Assumes something real disturbing about a particular view of God.  This statement assumes that Dinosaurs did not live, but God created the workd with fossilized bones in it to "trick" us into believing that there were huge animals that came before us....

I reject this view of God and find it extremely disturbing.  Seems like of the three choices, Lord, Liar or Lunatic...some of you prefer the third and not the first.

Why cant he be Lord of ALL creation?... just a thought.  flame away

The word "dinosaur" wasn't used till the 1800's. The word used before that was "dragon."

A bit more illumination on the dinosaur-dragon issue: The word dinosaur is a relatively new one. It is currently the term used for a particular sub-class¹ of animals (the large lizards), which we believe to be extinct. When we look back at the term "dragon" used in past writings, we deduce from the descriptions of such creatures that they are the same animals which we call "dinosaurs" today (or are at least related). The meaning of the word "dragon" has changed, and the term nowadays is associated with a rather particular kind of animal - one that contains a number of characteristics (wings⁽¹⁾, fire-breathing ability, etc.) which probably exist(ed) in dinosaurs, but most likely not all together in one animal. (If they ever did exist all in one animal, that animal would probably be classified as a dinosaur.) We consider this creature as mythological, but we should recognize that the term "dragon" at least used to have a much broader definition.

However, the word has changed meaning. If people start calling dinosaurs "dragons," I will have to start calling the weather in Minnesota "naughty."

¹If you want to be particular to the large, wingless lizards, then the dinosaur classification is actually a super-order, but many call pterodactyls (and "dragons") dinosaurs, so I include them.

Why did God put Dinosaur bones on Earth?

To answer the original question, he put them on earth because Dinosaurs needed them for structural reasons, it wouldn't be very smart to make Dinosaurs without a good skeletal system.

archeologists find charded stuff in dinosaur noses, Dr. kenhoven found one i think... and he is a christian.

Kent Hovind is a Science Teacher.  If he is an achaeologist....then I (as a social studies teacher) am a pastry chef.

Unfortunately Kent Hovind is also in Jail...

Charred not charded.

Why did God put Dinosaur bones on Earth?

Today I'm feeling the freedom evidenced by the lack of bones in the empty tomb.   

So little boys can have a reason to go to the museum.  and so they can say oh cool.
