In the bible, where are the dinosuars?

Question

From Genesis through Revalation, I read no mention as to Dinosaur's, as for the interpretation of "all creatures, great and small", the ark being built 80 cubits by 80 cubits would not house the creatures by size nor weight?
Archeological finds prove that they did in fact exist, however, no mention in the Bible...Granted it is based upon theological belief, however, the book of Genesis starts "In the Begining..." not, " In the NEW begining...after the great ice age..."

Answer 1

Stop thinking. Repeat "Hail Bush, full of grace" 40 times. Scream "out Satan!"

Now ... cleansed.

Answer 2

The reason you see no mention of the word "dinosaur" is because that word was created in 1840 by Sir Richard Owen. The Bible was translated into English in 1600, before that word was used.

Instances of dinosaurs are in fact found in the Bible. Job chapter 40, verses 15-24 describe something called a "behemoth" that has to be a dinosaur.
He "moves his tail like a cedar" lives "in a covert of reeds and marsh." And listen to this: "Indeed the river may rage, yet he is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth. Though he takes it in his eyes, or one pierces his nose with a snare."
Some people suggest this could be an elephant. But have you ever seen an elephant with a tail as big as a cedar? Or one that can drink up a raging river? This description does fit that of an Apatosaurus or a Brachiosaurus, however.

Job also tells about another creature, the leviathan. (chapter 41) It is a huge water animal that no man can defeat with fishing spears and harpoons. (vs.7) It is so fearsome that if you did battle with it, you would never want to try again! (vs 8) It talks about terrible teeth and scales that are closely knit together to keep water out(vs14-17). When it rises out of the water, even the mighty are afraid(vs 25). Swords and javelins can do nothing against it (vs 26). He makes the water boil like a pot.(vs 31)
There is no way this can be describing a crocodile or whale!!!!

ALSO, try checking the size of the ark again. Genesis 6:15 says the ark was 300 cubits long, fifty wide, and thirty cubits high! Also, reptiles grow larger with age, so why couldn't Noah have taken younger, smaller dinosaurs?
Try reading your Bible more thoroughly before you make accusations against it!

Answer 3

I love this question!

Dinosaurs did exist.

Genesis 1:1 says," In the beginning..."
This was th beginning of the Creative Age.
Now look at Genesis 1:2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and the darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

Have you ever asked what waters? It wasn't until Genesis 6 that he made dry land out of the waters. So we can surmise that the earth was completely flooded. This is not Noah's flood. This is Lucifer's flood.

You see, Lucifer had the power of creation at one time. He created the dinosaurs and played around with the humanoid "giants of the land". But when he decided that he wanted to be God and took a third of the angels to do battle against God he was cast out of heaven. He lost his creative powers. His creations were completely obliterated by the first flood. Even vegetation died. (not so in Noah's flood-remember the olive branch).

Well, I could go on but that is much to digest for now.

Cheers mate,

Answer 4

Alright, this is a little deep, but here goes...
If there were never any life forms before, the first ones were extremely simple.When God found them hiding after gaining knowledge from the 'apple tree' he clothed them in 'skin'. That means that at first they didn't even have skin! He gave the woman pain (in childbirth) and desire (for her husband) so before that there was no desire, only curiosity. He 'cursed the ground' for man and made it so he had to work to eat and would feel fatigue. These are basic attributes of all life...(having skin. passion, hunger and fatigue) that we take for granted...this is when they were created and why. We are talking about the very first life forms. It was a learning process for God, too. Recall how horrible God thought the first vegetables were when Cain brought his offering. God liked the fat that came from Abels meat...that is very basic and primitive. Cain left and went to the Land of Nod formed a city and multiplied he just walked over to another part of the world and formed a 'city'.
Until Cain left and Adam had more sons, no one ever called the lord. The Lord always called them. Men began to call the Lord after the birth of Enosh. Ten generations of these 'man' creatures that lived nearly to be nearly a thousand
years old) existed before 'daughters' were 'born' to them (read Genesis 6:1;) The new type of female mixed it up with the men and all sorts of wickedness went on. God got pretty sick of it and decided to wipe everything out and start over (the flood). He hated what the world had become. Apparently he fell asleep because he had to 'remember' Noah and the Ark before the waters receeded.
All the stories in the Bible tell stories of God enforcing his preferences on mankind. Starting over with Noah on the fresh dry land, the qualities of life that God preserved were...
The Earth would endure from this point (never be wiped out totally again)
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Summer and Winter, and Day and night.
What was rejected, we do not know.
Some of the things that God changed after the waters receded...
All life forms were accounted for now.
He made man the top predator.
He warned man not to eat blood.
So it is to this day.
The dinosaurs, obviously, were before the flood.
Only what was kept is recorded. There is no record of what God rejected. Maybe after all that time working on project Earth, God felt he could do better life forms, so erased his first efforts and now we find the remains.
Other changes from after the flood...
Rainbows began to exist.
God promised that he would never wipe out everything again, so how many times did this happen, before God made creatures that he liked enough to keep?
As far as the size of the ark it was one and a half football fields long and over four stories tall (Genesis 6:15). I think that there was enough room, bro.

Answer 5

There are no mention of dinosaurs in the bible because the bible is not a book on science, it is a book on religon. The two are mutually exclusive. Just as I don't go to the bible to explain the Theory of Electromagnetism, I don't go to science to explain God. When will people ever learn this basic fact? God:Bible. Science:Theory.

Answer 6

yes in the book of job

Answer 7

who was there to jot down what the dinosaurs did?
