Yes, we believe dinosaurs existed.
It defies nothing we believe in.
Fossils are the remains of dead living things. What's the big deal?

Yes many christians do believe in dinosaurs. I personally believe "dinosaurs" (a word invented in the 1800's) are spoken of in the book of Job. The "leviathon" and the "behemoth" are 2 obvious examples. The descriptions of these sound like dino's to me. I'm of the group of christians that believe in a young earth and have serious doubts over the dating methods of fossils in the fossil record.

Yes, of course they believe in dinosaurs. There is actually a description of a dinosaur of some kind in the Bible. It's in the book of Job, in chapter 40 and 41. Just remember that the word dinosaur was not invented until the late 1800's. The Bible was translated into English in 1611.

Depends on who you talk to.
In the book of Job, God starts asking Job some questions. There are a few creature that scriptures write about. One of the creation is describe as having a tail the size of a cedar and large ribs. some commentaries say it is a hippo. I have never see a hippo with a large tail.
Another creature has scales. Commentaries say it is an alligator...never see an ally as decribed in the book of Job.
I am under a strong belief that the dinos died off after the flood. If they were on the ark. More than likely their lungs could not adjust to the high altitute that the ark was sitting at. Like when you go to the mountian and it is harder to hike.

Some do and some dont. I know some Christan's that dont believe man walked on the moon. Oh yeah they came to pass too. Well the Christan bible is really a Jewish book written by Jews and only the Jews are allowed to help you read it right. Go study the people of god . Einstein or his buddies for a start like Velikoski . Yeah... That will show you dinosaurs in a new light.

Some do, some don"t. Some Christians believe that God created dinosaurs. Some believe God created fossils "to test people's faith." Some Christians believe God used evolution to create the universe (theistic evolutionists) It's hard to generalize about what Christians think on this subject.

Christians believe in dinosaurs, just that they are not as old as people say. Some people say they are still around in remote parts of the world. There might be one under your bed right now.

Do you understand the word "believe"?
I believe in God ( I can't explain Him or prove that He exists, but I believe He does.)
I know that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth. What is there to believe about dinosaurs?

Just because the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs does not mean that they didn't exist. As a Christian myself, I bow to scientific proof of them existing. As I believe that God created all of the animals that ever existed beofre he created man, I think this in no way compromises my view on the Bible as God's word and my guide for life!!!!!!

Most Christians do believe in dinosaurs and fossils and all that. Evidecne is overwhelming. But, we dont believe it happened mlilions of years ago. Things happened that aged our planet very quickly, such as the flood of Noahs days that secular science wont face and deal with.
Yes, thre were dinosaures, just not millions of years ago. There you go, does that help? Nothing can explain away Jesus man. Nothing. So let Him into your help and give you all the answers you need in study and prayer. Hallelujah...

Well, I'm a christian, and i believe (or rather, know) that dinosaurs excised. But then I also believe in evolution, and that the earth is millions o years old (i thin it's meant to be something like 400 million (or is that billion?) years old.
