Answer 1

I Got this from Creation Evidence Museum in Glenrose Texas: They have a lot of scientific information that confirms what the Bible saysabout dinosaurs and other interesting facts.

I'll just paste what I found to answer your question about dinosaurs

Welcome to , the web site of the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, Texas.

As you browse our pages you will receive educational information presenting scientific evidence for creation and design by a personal Creator. This scientifically chartered museum was established in July of 1984 for the purpose of research, excavation, and display of scientific evidence for creation. The Museum's team, led by its Founder and Director, Carl Baugh, Ph.D., has excavated eleven dinosaurs (Acrocanthosaurus, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, etc.), 475 dinosaur tracks, 86 human footprints, 7 cat prints, and other fossil remains - all in Cretaceous limestone. Excavations were professionally documented along the Paluxy River and various other international locations.

Among museums this entity makes a unique contribution, demonstrating that man and dinosaur lived contemporaneously.

Q: Are dinosaurs found in the Bible?
A: Yes

For a biblical study on dinosaurs in the Old Testament, I would definitely recommend using the Authorized Version (AV)/King James Version (KJV) of the Scriptures which were translated into English from the Masoretic text in 1611 [230 years before the word "dinosaur" was available!]. Using a Strong's Concordance, you will find the Hebrew word "tannin" is used 25 times, and is translated as 'dragon(s),''serpent(s),' 'monster(s)' [and, in the more modern versions, improperly as 'jackal(s)']. The key to remember is to look for Hebrew Lexicon #8577.

CREATION WEEK (~4000 B.C.)

DAY 5--[Gen.1:20-21]--Creation of marine monsters (Hebrew "tannin," includes large marine 'mammals' and 'reptiles') and winged/flying creatures (Hebrew "o(w)ph," includes all feathered and non-feathered flyers--even pterosaurs, the flying reptiles!)

DAY 6--[Gen.1:24-25]--Making of dinosaurs and other land creatures, divided among the cattle (Hebrew "behemah," includes all quadrupedal, hoofed/blunt-toed ungulates), beasts of the earth (bipedal/quadrupedal, talon-toed), and creeping things (quadrupedal/multi-legged ground crawlers).

FLOOD YEAR (~2350 B.C.)

[Gen.6:17,19-20; 7:14-15; 9:17,19]--Juvenile representatives of every terrestrial, air-breathing kind (not species), including dinosaurs and pterosaurs, were directed by God to the Ark.

Those outside the Ark would be left to be scavenged by marine predators or be buried and fossilized quickly.

POST-FLOOD PERIOD

MARINE MONSTERS--[Leviathan (Job 3:8-'mourning'; 41:1-34/Ps.74:14;104:26/ Isa.27:1); see also Lam.4:3 & Amos 9:3].

PTEROSAURS--[esp. the bioluminescent flying reptiles (Isa.14:29 & 30:6)].

DINOSAURS--[see Strong's Concordance(KJV) under "dragon(s);" also Exod. 7:9-10 (#8577, not #5175)].

The best dinosaur passage in the Bible is Job 40:15-24 where God speaks to Job concerning BEHEMOTH ["most excellent beasts"--intensive plural of


Day 6 'cattle' ("behemah")], a huge sauropod dinosaur (especially notice verses 17 &19 !!!). Don't forget to ckeck our website for dinosaur publications under "Resources" and...happy dinosaur hunting!

Answer 2

The Bible says God created the earth in seven days. Gods days may be longer than our days since he has always been here and will always be here. The Dinosaurs probably died off before Adam and Eve's creation. The Devil was represented as a snake in the garden of Eden, which snakes are thought to be decedents of dinosaurs thus being after the dinosaur period.

Answer 3

Somewhere in the later part of the Old Testiment (I don't even remember which book it was in) there is mention of a beast (I think it's called something like Leviathan). A lot of people who have nothing better to do than spin fantastic stories out of small things have interpreted this to mean that there were dinosaurs on the earth in Bible times. You must remember, these are the same kind of people who will take a small incident, like a weather balloon crashing in Roswell, and turn it into a major alien invasion from Planet X or something.

Answer 4

The Bible never mentioned dinosaurs. A lot of people believe that when Job spoke of the leviathan in Job 41 or in Psalms104:26 they had the illusion of some kind of sea monster. Others think of it as a crocodile...but many think it is the dinosaur.

Answer 5

Men and dinosaurs never existed at the same time. Dinosaurs are prehistoric. Historic means written... Men didn't exist, so they could not write about them...

Answer 6

I don't recall dinosaurs being in the Bible.

That doesn't mean dinosaurs didn't exist, just that they are not in the Bible.

Answer 7

Try to remember this: the unexamined belief is actually no belief at all. As the Bible says, "Test all things and hold fast to that which is true."

Answer 8

6,000 years ago, people did not know that dinosaurs ever existed.

Answer 9

yes there were
