These are two questions...
The first question is regarding the Bible credibility. All your complaints are about the first book: Genesis. Personally, I take no stock in literal nature that book, and I see it only as a metaphor. Some people obviously don't agree with that. But personally, I don't think you need to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Your second question is about the Jews. The Jews are a religious-ethnic group. More can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew
Jews have been the target of many things including being responsible for killing Jesus (but if they didn't kill him... he couldn't have risen from the dead...) to stealing money from everyone, to everything else... I don't buy any of it of course but lots of people do... Read up about it at that link above.

Some good questions Niko. God DID create the heavens and the earth. And he populated it with animals, including the dinosaurs, and the verbiage for their food. And it was a long time ago, even the 6.5 billion years we estimate the earth has been in existence.
Where people become confused is through the false teachings of some religions.
It is only MAN who has been on the earth for a comparativewly short 8,000 years. Proof. The Bible gives a chronology. The geneology of Jesus in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 and the age of the Jewish Patriarchs at Genesis chapter 5.
When all this is charted, it shows a total history of man from Adam and Eve right up to Jesus as 8,000 years. On a chart it also shows that Methuselah outlived his own son by only four years. Yet both were very long lived.
God is so perfect in power [ a matter of faith] that we cannot limit him in any way.
And according to Proverbs 8;22-31 Jesus was God's very first creation, even before the universe. Long before God sent him to earth for us. The belief that Jesus is God himself is not supported by the Bible. Jesus always directed worship to his Father in heaven.

ok u need to understand bible created long time ago possible the firsr ever book. u can't expect all this thing been written in the book. Theres million of creatures on earth.
Genesis Chapter 5 verse 3 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.
Just look how long than the first man live 930 years ! far more like 10-15 tiems than average human live today. But that number quickly decrease as years pass. I think is the cause of dinosaur to due its size for that period. imagine a gator can live like 300 or 500 years? must be a factor. longer it lived size mater due to age limite and decrease. also eviroment might be a factor. Bible is not someting u can go back and change and edit all they can do is update the language so we can understand today. u can't expect put sun, moon, saturn in the bible u know why, because all those name come from Ancient Greence Time, They got Greek mythology God not based on bible why would they put those in if not even related. Ok we had to look outside the picture since more planet we discovery and see how big is this universe we shall see the power of god, look how he able to created all this thing, instead just always finding excuse. jew is a ancient religon, based heavy on old testament bible. in the bible jew consider the chooser people for god, that worship him, all other group tha time got their own god idol wordship. the main negative people critize jew is because they dont belive Jesus is their Messiah even after Jesus Die in the Cross due to Their Cause. i would said some christian got mad for this. also jew don't accept any part of new testament, because especially those with jesus book heavy critive jewish leader. Issue is probably because don't wanan get embarrased over its own mistake that's why not able to take the blame to move on. Jewish people probbaly consider the smartest people per ratio. they ain;t many but they got alot of top famous important peoople we seen and pass. such as Albert Eisntern, Steve Speribereg, George Lucas etc.. but not without some harsh cons. wwiii nearly kill 80% of all jewish. now they might live free but face alot of public ciritize because of their faith, i think is still because they dont beliebve the new testamt and Jesus. their religon cocept is very old haven't chagne mucn since time of before Jesus. Ok now day most headline about Israel fight with palestine and now lebanon militian over the land of israle basically. muslim don't get along with jewish, actually muslim don't get along any otehr religon. just look islam country most of them is like 90to99% muslims.

Those who believe in the bible usually don't believe evolution as it is usually talked about over 2-days in junior high (or whatever). So that point is moot.
The 'heavens' means all things surrounding the Earth... medieval phrase got you stuck on that. Blame the monks.
A Jew is someone who traces their family (usually through the males) back to Isaac and Abraham...
Negative energy about anyone is produced by negative people and there are as many of those in religious groups as out of them...
Racial hatred is a nasty thing that is grown out of someone feeling helpless and wanting to blame someone else... and is grown with the fertiliser of ignorance. Whether it is Jewish people, Muslims, African Americans... or the boy down the street with Downs Syndrome - hatred is widespread - I challenge you to work against hatred in all forms.

The Bible Mentions serpants, Giants, and Dragons ( satan ) and Beast.
A serpant is not a snake but more of a dragon from the water. A dragon is a serpant that can operate on earth, water, and the air. Dinosoar was not a word yet ;) Looks like they used all words for dinosaur except the scientific one.
By the way Study up on Eloim, and Nephlim for a better insight of secrets of our Biblical past and future. DNA alterations of the Bible. Beware of Satans and his lies. In jesus I pray amen.

When the bible was written, it was written by people who used the knowledge that they had at hand along with their personal background, community standards and current events. The people then did not know about dinosaurs or solar systems, or any relatively modern discoveries. They were inspired to write about God and his interaction with people, and to reveal his love for us and the laws he gave us so that we might return to him for all eternity.
The Jews or Hebrews, were a race of Semitic people chosen by God to be his own. They were unique in their worship of the One True God, while the nations around them worshiped many gods. Jesus Christ, the Son of God was born to a Jewish peasant girl. So Christianity evolved from Judaism. Some Jews accepted Jesus' teaching, many did not. Ultimately, Jesus was condemned by the Jewish ruling power and turned over to the Romans who occupied Israel at the time to be crucified. Jews ended up with a reputation as Christ killers...an unfortunate term as Jesus died for all of our sins, the Jews just happened to be there and there was only a minority of them directly involved. As you can see there is quite a lot to know about the bible, the Jews and about God and Jesus Christ. I hope you will take the time to investigate all this for your self. You may e-mail me with questions and I will be happy to answer you to the best of my ability.

Neither the Adam n Eve nor the dinosaurs are causing a problem to your daily day life are they? Then why do you want to overload such a delicate brain of yours with such prehistoric crap. I believe you have more pressing matters to attend like what might britney name her second child, what might better suit you next time you go for an outing....right?

i imagine you meant to assert that a chunk of be counted might want to be decrease in 1/2 till you're right down to human being atoms. Atoms can't be decrease (in reality, the be conscious is Greek: a-tom = no longer-decrease) commonly, yet they're typically destroyed lower than particular circumstances - both blasted aside in stars or atomic bombs, or perhaps as radioactive aspects decay into lighter ones.
