One day I wondered where dinosaurs fit into christianity. I know next to nothing about christianity but I think it includes the belief that humans were on Earth pretty soon after Earth's creation, which meant either christianity rejected the dinosaur's existence or they lived alongside humans, which would be a pretty neat scenario to imagine.

If I recall correctly the common explanations I found were that humans did in fact live alongside dinosaurs, and that dinosaurs lived and died within the first few days of their creation for whatever reason.

One article I read on a christian website also said that the dating of dinosaur fossils by scientists was incorrect because bones don't have timestamp labels on them so there's no way one could know.

In regards to "I wonder how people reconcile such discoveries backed by scientific validation" I think it's quite often simply unsubstantiated rejection.
