Does the bible mention dinosaurs?

Answer 1

According to the Genesis account, animals were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or ‘days.’ If the Hebrew expression translated “great sea monsters” [Hebrew, tan·ni·nim′] includes dinosaurs, which often inhabited swampy, watery areas, this would mean that dinosaurs were created on the fifth “day.” (Gen. 1:21)
We do not know whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth “day”).
At the very latest it seems likely that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Noah’s day.
Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some kinds of dinosaurs bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to lizards (sauros is, in fact, the Greek word for “lizard”; saura in Leviticus 11:29).
Not all types of dinosaurs were of such gigantic size. Hence, even if they had survived till the Flood, this would not have required taking pairs of the huge varieties into the ark. Other smaller members of the particular family or “kind” to which these belonged would have sufficed to fulfill the divine command.—Gen. 6:19, 20; 7:14.

Answer 2

No. It doesn't. People of biblical times had no knowledge of dinosaurs at all, much less their habits. On the few occasions when someone stumbled upon a dinosaur bone, they attributed such bones to an extinct race of human giants, not to giant reptiles. The biblical "behemoth" is an obvious description of the hippopotamus, while "leviathan" is clearly a description of the crocodile, two animals the people of that time WERE familiar with. There is simply no limit to the ridiculousness of false interpretations that can be produced when people attempt to self-interpret the scriptures with no authority whatsoever backing them up.

Answer 3

Dinosaurs were long gone by the time man wrote the bible.

Answer 4

Yes but it does not use the word dinosaur because the word dinosaur was not coined until recently. the bible does describe animals which are most likely to be thought of as dinosaurs, such as leviathon, behemoth, etc. Also dragon is used but the Hebrew word for dragon does not describe the fire breathing, flying lizard we think of today, it may also be describing dinosaurs

Answer 5

Dinosaurs were never alive on Earth. When God created the Earth he took matter from other places to create it, and it just happened that the matter had the dinosaur remains in it.

Answer 6

For the 50 billionth time.

Behemoth, or Leviathan is thought to refer to a dino, but its only a possibility.

The Bible does not call Elephants by name either, but we have those.

Answer 7

No, because the bible was written before people had discovered Dinosaurs. It doesn't even mention God creating such large creatures at the begining of Adam and Eve.

Answer 8

Answer 9
