Creationists cite a number of reasons to believe that dinosaurs have existed until relatively recent times, and perhaps still survive.

Serious question spurred by a silly thread: is there a common explanation that explains the prehistoric-to-classical era drawings of humans with dinosaur-like creatures? It seems unlikely that people would stumble upon a full fossil set ... but I don't know anything about anything.

PSALM 23 of the Dinosaur Bible:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.He maketh me to rend flesh in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of savagery for his name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me of mine enemies: thou anointest my hide with oil; my fangs runneth red.Surely wailing and screams shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will munch on the servants of the LORD for ever.

Okay. Apparently this stuff was a hoax:
There are reports of engraved stones from the area going back as early as the sixteenth century; however, the particular stones in question were "discovered" in the 1960s, when one Dr Cabrera brought them to public notice after he had bought thousands of the engraved stones from a farmer called Basilo Uschuya.Arrested for selling antiquities, Uschuya confessed to faking the stones. On the one hand, it may be argued that if he had maintained that they were genuine, he'd have gone to prison. On the other hand, he must have done something to persuade the police that the artifacts were not genuine: it would be interesting to know what. Nor would fear of arrest explain why he should give an interview to a newspaper (Mundial, No. 6, January 17) in which he and his wife tell how they faked the stones using comic books, school books, and magazines as sources for their pictures, and aged them by leaving them in a chicken coop.The stones have no archaeological provenance at all. They are supposed to have been found in a cave, but the location of the cave remains a secret. Offers by archaeologists to be taken there blindfolded have been rejected.It is not possible to date the stones directly; nor is it possible to date them by studying the site where they were supposedly found, because, as noted, this is a secret. It is, however, possible to put a date on the clay figurines which have been produced along with the stones. Erich von Daniken sent one to the University of Zurich for dating and they reported that the figurine was modern. His colleague Johannes Fiebag sent two other samples to the University of Weimar who reported that the samples were “relatively young” and still contained water.

an investigation into the mystery of the LORD'S drunken mania:
Exodus 4:24-26: "And it came to pass onthe way, at the encampment, that the LORD met him and sought tokill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the fore-skin of her son and cast it at Moses' feet, and said, 'Surely youare a husband of blood to me!' So He let him go. Then she said,'You are a husband of blood'--because of the circumcision."
PRELIMINARY ISSUESSeveral questions come to mind when one reads these verses.1. This passage seems to be an intrusion into the flow of thechapter. It is abrupt as well as cryptic and difficult. Though theseverses form a unit, the question remains, What is the purpose ofthis pericope? 2. The passage is marked by a lack of clear antecedents forsome of its pronouns or named objects for some of its verbs. Fur-ther, many translations have inserted the name "Moses" in verse25 where the Hebrew has only "his." Who did what to whom? 3. More significantly, the passage prompts the question,Why? What possibly could have prompted the rage of Yahweh thatwould have caused Him to want to kill Moses? This seems partic-ularly inappropriate, since the initial "misunderstanding" be-tween God and Moses had been settled (Exod. 4:1-17).4. Why does the passage center on what for modern readersare the distasteful and embarrassing subjects of circumcision,blood, and foreskins?5. What was behind Zipporah's action? How did she knowwhat to do? Why did Moses not act? After she cut off the foreskin of her son, whom did she touch with it, what did she touch with it, and why did she need to touch anything with it?6. What is the meaning of Zipporah's words, "You are ahusband of blood to me," and to whom are they addressed?7. What is the point of this passage?
Possible explanation: THE BIBLE IS A SHAM
