Yes. In the Bible God gave us a great description of two dinosaurs that could support the fact that man lived with them. Read about the Behemoth in Job 40:15. It closely describes what could have been an Apatosaurus or maybe a Brachiosaurus. And Job 41:1-8 tells us of Leviathan, a great and fearsome beast that sounds a lot like a huge dinosaur.

Some people believe so. In God's dialogue with Job (the oldest written book of the Bible), there is mention of an animal called "behemoth" whose legs are as big around as tree trunks. Couldn't be the elephant based on the description. In some translations he's considered the ox, but that doesn't fit either. Another is leviathan, also mentioned in Job. He is sometimes translated as crocodile, but this doesn't really fit the description either. We don't know for sure, but behemoth sounds very plausible.

This is a possibility from the book of Job regarding a creature that has dinosaur type attributes.

Behemoth has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24

It “eats grass like an ox.”
It “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”)
Its “bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.”
“He is the first of the ways of God.”
“He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.”
Some bibles and study bibles will translate the word “behemoth” as “elephant” or “hippopotamus.” Others will put a note at the edge or bottom of the page, stating that behemoth was probably an elephant or a hippopotamus. Although an elephant or hippopotamus can eat grass (or lie in a covert of reeds and marsh), neither an elephant or a hippopotamus has a “tail like a cedar” (that is, a tail like a large, tapered tree trunk). In your kid’s dinosaur book you will find lots of animals that have “tails like a cedar.”

We would expect behemoth to be a large land animal whose bones are like beams of bronze and so forth, so whatever a behemoth is, it is large. A key phrase is “He is the first of the ways of God.” This phrase in the original Hebrew implied that behemoth was the biggest animal created. Although an elephant or a hippopotamus are big, they are less than one-tenth the size of a Brachiosaurus, the largest (complete) dinosaur ever discovered.[1] A Brachiosaurus could therefore easily be described as “the first of the ways of God.”

Ohhh you have to be kidding!!??!? First off see how christians cant even agree if dinosaurs are in the bible or not. secondly, to try to say that the bible is a scientific document proving man and dinosaurs co existed, is so friggin ridiculous that i hope they are all embarrassed for even saying that. seriously, if you are an adult that has gone to grade school and you believe that dinosaurs and man lived at the same time, you should be blushing with embarrassment..

No not directly, the reason was the dinosaurs were not that important only the salvation of human kind.
That's why on many non important things are missing. now somethings he mentioned like the giants, nephelilm who were wiped off the earth because they were bullies and the off spring of the sons of God who came to the earth materialized human bodies so they could have relations with the women who were good looking.
If he wanted us to know about them he would have mentioned it,
Check this out...leviathan...Job 41:1---Psalms 74:14& 104:26.

Dinosaur is a word that was coined somewhere in the 1800's. The bible speaks of dragons, beasts, leviathans.

Not that I know of, but I believe that If you go to Genesis 1 it starts off as God created the World in Six days. Well he does not elaborate on that and six days for God probably was not 6 days for us. Therefore for him in those six days dinosaurs could have been created and destroyed.
