So I guess they wouldn't have a problem with the 1950's comic 'Turok and Andar, sons of stone' which had a couple of American Indian brothers being chased around by various dinosaurs and tribes of neanderthals? It's at least 45 years since I read any of the stories, that's all I remember about them.

LOL
That's an insult to the real dinosaurs !
I second it. Dinos never launched an inquisition.
AI is assumed to be possible.
No: surely comic books are themselves?
They don't need an empirical form, they exist.
Unfortunately that's true for far too many people.
As is the converse: too many people only see what they believe.

As a Muslim I can say the dinosaurs are in the Koran.
"Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which God Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise.

As for AI, if the AI asks Mohammad for forgiveness and seeks Allah through the Koran then yes the AI is Muslim and will seek eternity with Allah.

As for Aliens, there is no evidence of Aliens. But, if an Alien were to be found, then it would have been foretold of in the Koran. It's not always to see the wisdom of Allah and interpret the TRUE meaning of the Koran until after-the-fact.
No they haven't
That is one of the oldest and silliest creationist red herrings ever

Our hominid ancestors split from their ape relatives about eight million years ago. Given that we have evolved from such a source, it's equally possible that other orders of life have evolved towards intelligence that equals our own--or surpassed it, indeed, given the age of the universe and the number of chances for a new start for the evolutionary process.
So it's better than remotely possible that some of the alien races we'll meet in future--when we enter space properly instead of just playing in our own back yard--will be the remote descendents of reptiles, amphibians, birds, et. al., just as we were once related closely to apes.
One of the early Greek philosophers said that if cattle could worship a god, they would give him horns...Given therefore that religious imagery is usually anthropomorphic to some degree, what would be the nature of the gods who these folk worship, and what legends or holy books would they have to show us?
