I just want to know, why isn't the history of dinosaurs or any record of them in any religious text?

Question

Don't bother telling me about text not existing until man, and whatnot because according to most religious texts no animal existed until after and during the creation of man. It ways in the bible that adam named every living thing. And when the flood came Noah had to take 2 of every animal, so why isn't it mentioned on why he didn't take the dinosaurs? If everything is as true as everyone says it is, then it should have an explanation of everything, shouldn't it? Too many unanswered questions...

Answer 1

Answer 2

As a few have already stated, the Bible does contain references to Behemoth, and Leviathon, and their descriptions would point to large dino's..... the word dinosaur is a relatively new word, and wasn't even close to being used at the time of these writings..... there are hundreds of expeditions where human remains and dino remains are found in the same sedimentary levels, but scientists don't really want to bring that up because it demolishes their theories of dino's being here millions of years before humans.....
I took a class that described the Earth (pre Noah flood) as completely tropical pole to pole, and with a much diffenent atmosphere than we have now..... kind of like with a shell of water around the planet instead of just our ozone that we have now..... scientists say this would have supported much larger creatures..... then the flood happened (in part the collapse of this water shell) and the climate and atmosphere would have changed, and would have been unable to support dino's..... as far as taking animals on the ark, Noah took all, but obviously he would have taken young ones if they were to repopulate the earth, and there was a divine intervention here from God to keep all the animals and people safe.....btw if you read the flood story in Genisis, he didn't only take 2 of each..... i don't think we will ever know exactly how everything played out, but with my belief in God, I know He could have done it, and this theory works just as well (if not better) than others..... you have to remember the scientists only have guesses, they don't know for sure about any of it...... otherwise how can they expain human and dino remains in the same layers

Answer 3

Yes most definitely only they hadn't been named as a species yet and because they were so huge and gross looking when their remains were found they were deemed Dragons and Demons and used to scare people into becoming religious otherwise like in Revelations the Dragons come to get you-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Big bad dinosaur is going to be the extinction of mankind as well because rather than see the light that exist in this world we condemn it believing there is another after this. Enjoy the heaven or hell you make of this once in a lifetime experience-This is true choice the religious type try to explain-hold on to your God until he prejudices any other religion which is against the constitution of The U.S. even though Christians who can not explain Dino's can explain how Jesus needs to be in Iraq-GET REAL-as more people die for your sins!

Answer 4

Because the religious text starts after the dinosaurs went extinct. Because the religious text starts with God creating Earth and creating the first humans. Anything before that doesn't really exist in the religion world.

Answer 5

The Bible is not a science book, wise guy. To find something about dinosaurs in the religious texts would be like going to a bank to buy an antibiotic

Answer 6

there is as a matter of fact, if you truly read the old book in the Holy Bible you will find a few texts that talks about how people used to live up to 900 years and how the earth was habituated by giants, read from the beginning on to the book of Job and you will find it there, just as when everybody was saying that the earth was square, had an egg shape etc, the book of Isaiah's shows us how religious men knew the earth was round, some 5000 years ago, our people did not know earth was round until not too long ago, Remember?

Answer 7

Bible commentators (off the top of my head i'd say at least 1000 years old) suppose that the giant animals lived on earth before noah's flood. Of course this contradicts the current view, that man and dinasour never coexisted, but at least it shows an effort. I don't remember if this was mentioned in the bible itself.

Answer 8

The Bible mentions huge animals and dinosaurs in Genesis ( before the flood), also Dragons are mentioned( this could be Dinosaurs.)

Answer 9

Religious texts are acient texts created before man discovered that dinosuars ever existed. Religious texts use man as the basis of origin. Man were the chosen ones. Not even prehistoric man (homoerectus, etc.) are mentioned in such texts since they did not know prehistoric man existed.

Answer 10

BEHOLD NOW THE BEHEMOTH! Bible, book of Job, God talking to Job. Both the Behemoth and the Leviathan are mentioned. Names aside, read the discriptions, and you have both the Brachyosarus and the Plesiosaur. So there. *grin*
