Young earth creationists often believe we coexisted with dinosaurs at some point. You're not as crazy as you think. Or only as crazy as some people who take their faith to another level. But not quite as crazy as those who believe the government still has our best interests in mind. ;)
If you read the Bible from a literary perspective of ancient history, the descriptions of behemoth and leviathan in the book of Job are equally odd. Dude is describing animals that sound remarkably like dinosaurs in a text written over 3K years ago. Also, a fun rabbit hole is reading up on dragons in many ancient cultural traditions.
Of course, there are alternate theories within the religious text world to explain oddities like these away, but its fun to think about either way.
