Why did God wait so long

Well I'd say that is just about as reliable as scientists.

Scientists were condemned and persecuted by the religous leaders in power for claiming the earth was round.
Scientists were condemned and laughed at when they stated they had proof that smoking was bad for you.
Who is reliable?

So they got a couple simple ones right. Who can calibrate the instruments that measure millions of years? What "standard" can they use? Hell, half the time they can't get the weather right past 5 days.

Do you own a cell phone?
Thank a scientist.
Turn the TV off. A scientist also invented that but you watch too much.

I'm sure scientists had a big hand in computers and the interent one way or another, surprised he puts any faith in them by signing on everyday.

I'm surprised these fundie types even go to the hospital, there's influence from scientists all over the place. Better to just try to pray whatever ailment it is away.

Sure they do.
Why did God put dinosaurs here first?
Sorry if the question is so hard for you.

How do you know he did ?

Good question and I will rephrase.
Why did God put dinosaurs here millions of years before humans?

Actually, part of it has to do with the very first verse of the Bible, and the mistranslation that exists in every other Bible except the Hebrew one.

It doesn't say "in THE Beginning", it says "in A Beginning" meaning that there was more than one. Matter of fact, the Jews believe there was around 974 of them.

Dinos could have been one experiment that God was doing, and when He decided that He wanted something different, He wiped 'em out by smashing a large meteor into the Yucatan peninsula and creating the geological anomaly known as the iridium layer.

The "standard" is nuclear decay. That holds constant through the ages, unless you think God plays with our minds and leaves us false clues.

to put us here? We have only been here less than0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the earth's existence.
Why did God put the violent dinosaurs that ate each other here first?

God created the world with a fast forward button. That bit about the dinosaurs just whizzed by.

If geologic time were compressed into one calendar year, humankind sprouted about 3 minutes before midnight.

As well, some have the belief that G-d's time is not man's time and that it is not that G-d has not acted on certain things. It is that G-d has not acted 'yet' on those certain things.

It is H-s time that comes to our time. The L-rd has given man the meaning of life when we were given the meaning of death imo eating of the Tree of knowledge gave us this clear meaning to life.

Some have simply forgot the meaning to both time and life.

My kids thought the purple Barney made a good toy pet. Maybe God thought the same thing.

Why did God wait so long

Maybe because time is of no consequence to God. It doesn't exist in infinity. That is a man problem.
