I asked where dinosaurs were mentioned in the bible 2 weeks ago. The best answers were mearly descriptions of large animals that are still around today. I was raised Roman Catholic which I abandoned the moment I had a choice at age 13. Then came Carl Sagan's Cosmos on PBS TV & I found a new religion in science.
After that I have read the bible twice in my adult life (Job is one of my favorites). It's good philosophy, no more. So is the Tao Te Ching, but without reading a NYC phone book. I think: THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WITH ONLY THE KNOWLEDGE OF PEOPLE FROM THAT DAY & AGE. If it were in any way suggested by any superior type being: dinosaurs would have been mentioned or decribed WITHOUT doubt. Plus the world would not be flat, & the earth would be MANY MILLIONS of years older than 6,000 years. Any biblical description could be a giraffe or elephant to someone never seeing anything bigger than a camel, no? Plus a lot of things were fantacized to scare people into being good.
