Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee
He eateth grass like an ox
Lo now his strength is in his loins
and his force in the navel of his belly
he moveth his tail like a cedar tree
The sinews of his thighs are knit together
His bones are like string pieces of brass
His bones are like bars of iron
He is the Chief of the ways of God
book of Job 40 v 15-19

God created everything—and yes, that this means He also created the dinosaurs. They aren't mentioned in the Bible, however, since they were extinct by the time it was written. I also don't know why God let them become extinct (although I'm not sorry He did; I'd hate to have a hungry dinosaur peek over the fence at me!).
The Bible makes it clear that nothing happened on earth by accident; everything was created by God, and was in accordance with His perfect design. The very first verse of the Bible says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). The Bible also tells us that Christ was given the assignment of actually creating the universe, and "without him nothing was made that has been made" (John 1:3). Is Christ the center and foundation of your life? If not, open your heart to Him today!

yes,, please go read job 40 and 41. that way you can see that the bible was describing a fire-breathing dragon, and NOT a dinosaur.
the reason dinosaurs are not mentioned in the bible is the same reason that the bible describes pi as being exactly equal to 3 and the earth as flat.,, because the bible wasn't written by god., it was written by people who lived thousands of years ago and knew nothing of dinosaurs.

Probably because fossils, though found well before the writing of the bible, weren't understood for what they were.
So the folks who wrote the various texts that were compiled into the bible didn't include them.
Should someone write a similar text today, I'm sure they'd include all of what we now know about Earth's history.

The Bible's purpose is not to be a science book, it is to tell us about God's plan of redemption for mankind. The Bible is scientifically accurate however. So the Bible is not a science book, but it is scientifically accurate. The dinosaurs lived millions of years before Adam and Eve. www.reasons.org

Some consider the dinosaurs the "nephilim" or "leviathan" of the Bible that existed before the Flood.

Dinosaurs existed at the same time as early Humans and were domesticated by them to perform many useful tasks.

Of course they were here. The bible doesn't mention cave men either, and they were here as well. These things don't have to much to do with what we as humans must overcome, so it is of little importance and doesn't need to be mentioned.

Read Job 40.... Job mentioned a Laviathan and Behemoth which are discribed to look like dinosaurs (keep notes, this gets asked 30 times a day)
