If God created everything, why wasn't the story of dinosaurs told in the bible?

Question

The bible shouldn't have started with Adam and Eve. If God didn't create the dinosaurs, who did?

Answer 1

You should have read Genesis first to formulate a good question. The Bible doesn't begin with Adam and Eve, rather "In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth"...Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light (Gen 1:1-3).

Gen 1:24-25 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds." And so it happened:
God made all kinds of wild animals, all kinds of cattle, and all kinds of creeping things of the earth.

The Bible is not to be treated like an Almanac, Encylopedia nor wikipedia. Because if you do, you'll end up looking also for lemurs, armadillo etc.

Answer 2

It is simple, here we go. The Bible is not a book about how God created things, it is a book about how we supposed to live so we don't have a hard life. The Bible is not a phisics , biology or any other science text book. Is it neccesary to tell us about dinosaurs or the big bang or the solar system or DNA in a book that talks about morals? You don't see any talk about dinosaurs in our law books or our constitution or our tax code do you?, Than why should it be in The Bible? And by the way it is a pretty thick book already.

Answer 3

By the time the Bible was written, the dinosaurs were long gone. The Bible is not an almanac, it is a spiritual book. God gave man the ability to discover things for their selves.

Answer 4

The Bible is fiction with a purpose. At the time it was written, man was not aware that dinosaurs had once roamed the earth. If they had known, the authors would have worked them into the story, one way or another. If the Bible were rewritten today, knowing everything we now know, who knows, it might actually be convincing!

Answer 5

Because the dinosaurs did not write the Bible. There are many other instances of "situated 'knowledge' " that apply to the Bible. It is clearly an edited and selected set of stories from particular perspectives and toward certain man selected goals.

Answer 6

Because, dinosaurs came before man. Way before man. Since it was man who created the bible and since man did not exist at the time of the dinosaurs, man could not write about the dinosaurs. And please, do not take what you read in the bible, literally. And yes, God did create the dinosaurs.

Answer 7

Wish I had the exact verse and edition of the Bible for this but I don't. In some versions Adam and Eve are told to go forth and repopulate the earth and No I don't think that that's the King James version.

Answer 8

It writes about the waters bringing forth great sea monsters in Genesis 1:20,21. In Job 39:15-24; it writes about the behemoth. In job 41 He writes about the Leviathan (fire-breathing dragon).

These were created the 5th day (to God a day is like 1000 yrs). The earth brought forth beast, etc. and mankind were created the 6th day.

God created the dinosaurs.

Answer 9

the BIble was written by God through men. they probably werent around when they walked the earth. and even if they were, probably man was in another part of the earth.

long before we had spaceships also, ppl thought the earth was flat. columbus sailedto find another world, becuase he knew he wouldnt fall off it lol. but in the bible, it mentions "the curve of the earth" ask your sunday school teacher about it

in the book of Job, there is a passage (in the 40th chapter, i believe) about the Levithan. it is described like "with a tale like a tree trunk" now what else does that sound like other than a dinosaur??? lol

Answer 10

The characters in the Bible and the Bible writers could only act, think and write in accordance with the circumstances of their time. That is why God HAD to be a father figure, not a mother figure, and why he had to send a son, not a daughter and why most of the Key figures in the Bible are males.
