Why don't they mention dinosaurs in the bible?

Answer 1

I can't find a single listing for snails either. Just because they aren't mentioned doesn't mean they never existed. all it means is that there was they had no effect on the message God wanted to give to man...Jim

Answer 2

They do mention dinosaurs in the bible. Here are some verses. Job 40:15-19, 41:10. They don't say the word dinosaurs in the bible but the give a description of the animals. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Actually, dinosaurs ARE mentioned in the Bible. But they don't use the word "dinosaur", since that word was only just made up in 1844, and the Bible was printed in the 1600's. The ancient word for "dinosaur" was "dragon", and they are mentioned 35 times in the Bible. The book of Job also mentions an animal that is absolutely enormous, eats plants, lives in a swamp, is the biggest living thing that God has ever made, and has a very long neck and a "tail like a cedar tree". Some people try to dismiss this animal as an elephant or a hippo, but tell me, have you ever seen the tail of an elephant or a hippo? Certainly not like a cedar tree!
The same book also mentions an animal that is extremely ferocious and it is impossible to capture or kill. It is called Leviathan. There is also the story of Daniel who told the king that he could kill this "dragon" that they were keeping to worship. The king let him try, and Daniel, being a man of science, concocted a mixture of fat, hair, and pitch, and fed it to the dragon, which burst asunder. (It was a "fire-breathing" dragon/dinosaur.) The mixture clogged him up, and when he tried to breathe fire, he burst himself.

Answer 4

They don't mention armadillos either. Why would they? The Bible is not a zoology text. The writers do mention a couple of large animals they were familiar with - the hippopotamus and the crocodile, and some people do make fanciful interpretations of these passages as references to dinosaurs. However, even if the writers of that time were aware of the previous existence of dinosaurs, which they were not, they would certainly have no way of knowing the habits of such extinct beasts.

Answer 5

The Word mentions dragons, and even unicorns and satyrs
in Isaiah. KJV. Some think the reference to Behemoth is also
a reference to a dinosaur that may still have been around at
the time of the Bible, like the Loch Ness monster(s) is obviously
a descendant of the last dinosaurs. Like the Coalacant or
however it's spelled that was caught alive off of Africa a while
back. A prehistoric fish that "shouldn't" still be alive!

Answer 6

Friend if people actually study the Bible instead of just reading it, they can read between the lines, God told Noah & Adam both to REPLINISH the earth which means to fill it up again, Yes, as a Christian I do believe in a Prehistoric time, That time was the testing of the animal kingdom & the angelic Kingdom, because there is sevaral verse that said God had put some angels in Chains until the day of Judgement. So Friend really it is hidden in the scriptures.

Answer 7

the world, as the bible sees it, begins 5 days before man's appearance on earth. the dinosaurs would have been long dead by then

before god sait 'let there be light', the earth existed, if only in a null and void form. during this time, christians believe that dinosaurs roamed, and all other prehistoric events occured. the timeline of the bible from genesis to revelation is only about 4,000 years. lots of things happened before and ater the biblical period

Answer 8

i think the bible does not mention "dinosaurs" directly but i think that before God punished the devil in the form of a serpent, serpents (reptiles) where much larger. Part of the punishment was that all serpents would no longer walk but craw or slither on their bellies. I think God just made dinosaurs smaller.

Answer 9

There are some writings in the Bible that some of speculated as meaning to have spoken on the subject, but please be advised that this is pure speculation. Knowledge of the time, they do not talk about quantum physics or natural science either, instead they use child like stories to explain the world that they saw back then. Remember the Bible is a book of speculation written by people who had no formal education in the fields of science.

Answer 10

because Creationists don't believe in dinosaurs. Besides, dinosaurs fossils weren't discovered until after the bible was written, more evidence that it was written by man, otherwise god would have mentioned them, along with the other billions of galaxies that were discovered later as well.
