should christians believe in jurasic park creatures?

Question

well there is no mention of prehistoric creatures in the bible,so i wondered if they are just fantasy

Answer 1

Cats must be fantasy too, because they're not mentioned in the bible either.

Answer 2

No on should believe in "Jurasic Park creatures" since "Jurasic park" was a work of fiction suggesting the existence of dinosaurs in the 1990's.

Try re-wording your question if you meant "can Christian's believe in things not mentioned in the Bible?" Of course we can and should - dinosaurs, Australia, Mac & Cheese, motorcycles, it's really okay to gain knowledge from other sources than just one book.

Answer 3

There were dinosaurs at one point in time, but over a six thousand year period they have transformed into different things and some went extinct due to climate change and the earth being shifted/ broken into 7 continents. The Flood in Noah's time (Gen 6 -9) was the first time the earth shifted and the second shift was in Gen 11. These two shifts cause the climate of the earth to change and caused the animal became extinct or transformed in order to adapt to the climate change. Email [e-mail]

Answer 4

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 5

Oh they say there are behemoths and that's all it takes....

Oh, or they say the devil put them there to mislead us. That one is always good for a laugh.

You think they would be in stories in the bible though, how Jesus turned the T Rex into a loaf of bread and a few fish. They existed too many years before the bible was made up.

Answer 6

The bible also doesn't explain what was going on outside of the Garden of Eden. Obviously there was a world outside of the garden before Adam and Eve were kicked out.

Answer 7

Well I'm a christian and A (Future) Scientist, I believe that if god didn't mention something, He intended to not mention that and that God works in misterious ways.

Answer 8

No, there were no such things as dinosaurs, they are made up by non-Christians to try and debunk our believes. Do not believe them!!! They are just fantasy.

Answer 9

Acutally, there is mention of dinosaurs in the bible. I will find the entry and post it to you.

Answer 10

Well, they have the bones to prove they were here...I don't think it would be an earth shattering thing if you chose to believe dinosaurs were real.
