People are a nice meal for lions, and tigers, and bears, and pirannahs,
and sharks, and all sorts of carnivores/omnivores, but we seem to be
surviving just fine. Perhaps your idea of a Trex isn't what you imagine
based on Children's books and Jurassic Park. Just because an animal is
big doesn't mean it's scary mean and ferocious. There is in fact
evidence that shows Trex might not have been such blood-starved monster
anyhow. Their legs and posture don't lend to very fast or agile
movement, their teeth weren't rooted well for tearing apart animals,
their front legs were tiny and weak, which doesn't lend itself gripping
things well. Adult dinosaurs that are supposedly meat eaters have also
been found with extremely little teeth wear compared to what it should
be.
Maybe you don't remember any mention because you never read the Bible in
the first place:
Behemoth: Job 40?:15-19
Leviathan: Job 41
The descriptions of these animals would seem to at least point to a
dinosaur-like creature, if not a dinosaur itself. Futhermore, that
rgument is meaningless, lack of mention in the Bible doesn't mean lack
of existence

I think you should read the Bible before pretending to know what's in
there and what isn't.

If that's what you think then that's what you think. These 20
scientists (and obviously, this is just a sampling) don't agree with
your infinite wisdom:
