Q1 Genisis 1 says that God created the heavens and the earth. - From What?, there had to be something there in order to create it.

Q2 …and God made the beast of the earth. Why did he create the dinosaur, knowing he was going to create man, who would be lunch for them?

Q3 Genisis 26 - Let US (plural) make man in OUR (plural) image, after OUR likeness. So how many GODS where there?

Q4 Genisis Ch. 4 - 9. God is supposed to see all and know all. How could he not know that Cain had slain abel.

Q5 Genisis Ch. 4 - Where did all the wives of the sons of Enoch come from.
 
Q1 Genisis 1 says that God created the heavens and the earth. - From What?, there had to be something there in order to create it.
God created them from nothing (ex nihilo). God is the source and creator of all the exists. He wills it, and it is so.
Q2 …and God made the beast of the earth. Why did he create the dinosaur, knowing he was going to create man, who would be lunch for them?
It is not currently a scientific belief that humanity and dinosaurs existed at the same time.
Q3 Genisis 26 - Let US (plural) make man in OUR (plural) image, after OUR likeness. So how many GODS where there?
The following link will be helpful:
Why God in Genesis 1:26 say “us” and “our”?
Q4 Genisis Ch. 4 - 9. God is supposed to see all and know all. How could he not know that Cain had slain abel.
The traditional understanding is that God was giving Cain an opportunity to make a confession of his guilt. If a child spills juice all over the table and then tries to cover it up with magazines, the parent who sees it all will still ask, “What did you do?” in order to bring about a confession from the child.
Q5 Genisis Ch. 4 - Where did all the wives of the sons of Enoch come from.
