God and dinosaurs?

Question

Okay, why are creationists willing to give the bible the benefit of the doubt when it doesn't say anything about dinosaurs but they won't extend the same courtesy to evolution for gaps in the fossil record? Gaps which get filled often, i.e. horse teeth? Whale skulls?

Leviathan...can't quite see how you can make the leap of faith and call it a dinosaur.

wow uncle thesis, you've convinced me. That was about the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard.

Answer 1

Because they have been taught that their's is the only absolute truth and anything contrary, no matter how logical it is, should not be listened to.

Answer 2

Who said Dinosaurs was not in the bible?
Go open your bible and look on JOb 40:15-24.
It is written in NKJV, that God created 'Behemoth' who is a powerfull creature known by his strength who have tail like cedar, does it resemblance to Brontosaurs to you?

and Open Job 41:1-12. In the bible also mentioned 'Leviathan' who out of his mouth go burning lights, have an scale like armor, flame from his mouth, all of this is the description of dinosaurs to me.

Why Bible didn't mention any 'Dinosaurs' name? Lol offcourse because book of Job is written even before english is found.

And why all this beast is now gone? THe best conclusion is when there is a flood in NOah time that wipe away all the dinosaurs and make them as a fossil. (but this is just only my conclusion:P)

Answer 3

I'm trying to figure out if there were two or seven brontosaurs, stegasauruses, triceratops, and some of the largers herbivores on the ark. There would have been only two T. rex. There isn't enough room on the ark for every living species, and the dinosaurs make the problem worse. It's clear they were there, since God commanded "every thing that creepeth upon the earth" and Noah obeyed.

Answer 4

Job 3:8
8 May those curse it who curse the day,
Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan .
NKJV
Job 41:1-8

"Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook,
Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
2 Can you put a reed through his nose,
Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3 Will he make many supplications to you?
Will he speak softly to you?
4 Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him as a servant forever?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird,
Or will you leash him for your maidens?
6 Will your companions make a banquet of him?
Will they apportion him among the merchants?
7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
Or his head with fishing spears?
8 Lay your hand on him;
Remember the battle —
Never do it again!
NKJV

Ps 74:14
14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces,
And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
NKJV


Isa 27:1

In that day the LORD with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.
NKJV

Job 40:15-18

15 "Look now at the behemoth , which I made along with you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 See now, his strength is in his hips,
And his power is in his stomach muscles.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18 His bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.
NKJV

Answer 5

If you are looking for answers to this bible question, look at the book of Job. Job and his friends are in deep discussion over matters like on this site. Chapters 39-till the end of the book.

It begins with, ""Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?

Chapter 40 15-24 gives a great description of an animal...

"Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him. When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth. Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?

The tail is like a cedar. This is no hippo my friend. The river rages and he is not alarmed. This is a massive create inwhich I believe is a dino.

Answer 6

The bible is an interesting piece of litterature. It is part of many middle eastern tales and legends . It is a work of fiction, a creation of men.

Dinosaurs were fascinating animals that populated the Earth a long time ago. Remains are comonly found in many different places. They existed and were part of evolution.

Answer 7

Who is saying that the Bible does not talk about dinosaurs?

Read it for youself: Genesis 1:20-24

And God went on to say: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.” And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters in the sea basins, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.” And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fifth day.
And God went on to say: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.” And it came to be so. And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good.

This was the fifth day or creative period, can you name all the kind of animals? Could it be dinosaurs included?

Answer 8

God does speak of dinosours. but they are called beasts of the earth. Scientists called them dinosours, not God.,

Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

Defination of the word beast-From an unused root (probably meaning to be mute); properly a dumb beast; especially any large quadruped or animal

Answer 9

So the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs.
It doesn't mention alot of animals.
It doesn't even mention water fawcetts and newspapers.
What shall we conclude?
Let's conclude the Bible is a book with a theme and the writers stuck to theme ....like good writers do.

Answer 10
