Why doesnt the Bible say anything about dinosaurs?

Question

In Genesis, it describes how the earth was created and the sun and light and waters and trees and animals and Adam and Eve. What about the dinosaurs?

Answer 1

It doesn't say dinosaur in the Bible, but if you look at descriptions of something called 'behemoth' and 'leviathan,' they sound like descriptions of dinosaurs.

Next question that would probably pop up: If they were created, how did they get on Noah's Ark? Well, he probably took either baby dinosaurs or eggs and brought them. He didn't have to find the biggest one possible and put it on the ark.

Also, there are dinosaur bones that are discovered today that have skin tissue inside the bone itself. Skin tissue absolutely cannot survive more than 30000 years, so... that suggests that dinosaurs have been around somewhat more recently than most people believe...

I think that covers the main questions. If you have others, it's not hard to find answers. ^_^

Answer 2

Well, as someone has already pointed out, the word "dinosaur" was coined in 1842 by Sir Richard Owen. Before then other words were used to describe them, notably the word "dragons". In any case the Bible does mention monsters, behemoth, leviathan, whose descriptions are consistent with what we know of dinosaurs, which are actually land animals, thus created on Day 6. In short, dinosaurs were real and created on the sixth day. Most of them died in the global flood (evidenced by their fossils in sedimentary layers of rocks laid down by water all over the earth) while two of each kind went up the Ark. After they left the Ark they went extinct just like many other animals went extinct. There's really no mystery as has been so made up by popular evolutionary propaganda. Their existence are the stuff of many medieval legends in Europe, and even in the Chinese zodiac. Think about it, of all 12 creatures, is there any good reason to think that all but the dragon are real animals? I believe the dragon is just as real as the others. We have been largely indoctrinated to believe otherwise.

Answer 3

I got a book about dinosaurs for my son, who is obsessed with dinosaurs...and we happen to be religious....so it's a Christian book. It's called, What really happened to the dinosaurs, and it's written in childlike form, so even stupid adults, like me, can understand. :)
In Genesis when God made the world, on day 6 of Creation week, he made dinosaurs. Also Adam and Eve were created that same day too.
And then later in the time of Job, Behemoth was a huge monster who was (maybe) a dinosaur?? (Job Chapter 40)

(I'm not sure your question was really sincere, but you got a sincere answer.)

Answer 4

This is an excellent question. Here's an excellent answer:

The bible is only about 2000 years old. Dinasours happened billions of years ago. In fact the word "Dinasour" was coined sometime in the late 19th century.

The bible did not name all the creatures because if it did, the holy book will be 100 times thicker...

Let's not go into the argument of Genenis and Theories of Big Bang and Evolution. We are not professional enough to do this.

From a layman's point of view, if God wants to pass his knowledge into the mankind 2000 years ago and within such a short time, the facts had to be simplified so that it could be easily understood. So, a lot of the details would be missed.

Answer 5

The Bible does point available have been different generations or incarnations of the earth (Genesis 2:4). The Bible in spite of the undeniable fact that acknowledging those different incarnations of the earth, centers in this modern incarnation of the earth which does no longer contain dinosaurs. The Bible additionally mentions hominids on previous incarnations of the earth meaning Adam replaced into no longer the 1st hominid. yet Adam replaced into the 1st to settle for a soul. If we settle for the Biblical account there have been many generations of the earth with many diverse configurations and life types earlier this modern incarnation of the earth. The fossil record validates this fact of the Bible. it is likewise noteworthy that this wisdom of the Bible predates Christianity.

Answer 6

Those are the giants that are described in the Bible. They thought that dinosaur bones were the bones of giant people. Go figure.

Edit: Dinosaur bones weren't discovered back then? Bones have surfaced through erosion since before man walked the Earth, dumbasses. You dont have to dig them up.

Answer 7

some theologians believe in the "gap theory" that from verse 1 in genesis to verse verse 2 a great expanse of time existed before man of our descent was created and that God destroyed the earth with water as He did with noah.
when we go to genesis chapter 9 verse 11 where God promises to noah that He will never cut off flesh by waters of a flood or destroy the entire earth water again. they believe that He did it once before. so is this when the dinosaurs and early primitive man existed? then this can explain carbon dating as well. but we still read about the behemoths and giants.

Answer 8

I don't know but I heard a sermon on the Christian radio station and the preacher preached that dinosaurs are mentioned in the bible that they're just called by a different name. That's all I remember but I'm gonna research it. Sorry not much info but thanx for the points.

Answer 9

The Dinosaurs are grown from DinoTrees and when they grow too big they fall off, the trees were still growing when the bible says it was written

Answer 10

oo! now this is one of those questions i love to answer!

let's 1st look into the word "dinosour"... boy- i sound like a college professor.(lets continue class...lol jkjk)here is what mw says..."Etymology: New Latin Dinosaurus, genus name, from Greek deinos (terrifying) + sauros (lizard) " so in greek dinosaur means terrifying lizard! ok... now im getting somewhere. so since terrifying lizard and dinosaur are synonyms we can look for either in the bible. in leviticous 11;29 i think there is something mentioned in the niv of a great lizard.

so that right there should answer it for you... but lets read into more. there are countless mentions of dragons... and i think it probably is safe to assume that by dragon the people probably aren't refering to a tiny lizard... not that all mentions of lizards in the bible are tiny ones... a few examples are Psalm 44:19
Psalm 74:13Isaiah 13:22, 27;1 and 34;13. hope i helped!

o-and i saw u said that the bible says god created sun, light, water, trees and ANIMALS. do we not consider dinos animals? are they not reptiles? and are not reptiles animals?
