Dinosaurs are in the Bible?

Question

Dinosaurs could have fit in the ark if they were younger and smaller. But they might not have survived in a post-Flood world with different environmental conditions.
The process of the extinction of some animals still continues.

All of the basic “kinds” of living creatures were brought into existence in the same initial creation week. Moses wrote: ”. . . in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is . . .” (Ex. 20:11). This would include the dinosaurs (“terrible lizards”), and man as well.
Jesus affirmed that mankind has existed “from the beginning of the creation” (Mk. 10:6); this certainly excludes the notion that dinosaurs became extinct millions of years before man appeared upon the planet.
Humanity was given dominion over all the lower creatures of the earth (Gen. 1:26). There is no reason to exclude dinosaurs from the scope of this passage.

Answer 1

I rarely take issue with another person's answers, but I would like to understand exactly why Behemoth (and Leviathan for that matter) in the book of Job could not be referring to dinosaurs. Even modern science has changed the names of things as they uncover more information about them (for example... the brontosaurus that we all knew and loved from the Flintstones is not brachiosaurus). And when you consider when the Bible was translated (wasn't the King James Authorized version done in the 1600s???) they didn't even use the term dinosaur.

Approaching a topic without an open mind will not get you anywhere except right where you are.

Answer 2

Well we sure do have a great deal of interesting thinking on the subject! Dinosaurs are not named directly in the bible. But then again neither are thousands of other creatures. There is the word on leviation who might be a dinosaurs. But who knows for sure.
What we do know is that man in the near past have recorded dinosaurs in cave drawing so man and dinosaurs had common knowedge of one another. Thus the question of the age of the dinosaurs has to come into question. Also the fact that as most location of dinosaurs reminds we find mass burial sights for the animals. Which indicates that these large beast had a common element in there deaths. As dinosaurs were large creatures if they did perhaps die asa result of the biblicial floor we indeed would expect to see them in mass graves do to the way water and mud lays down after a large flooding event. As the dinosaurs have a common element in there designs that of being quite heavy we expect them to be influenced the same by mass floor on the earth and the water currents over a area would indeed bring alot of the animals to a current place as the floods. This would be affected by the pathways created in the underwater channels created by the mounitans of the then world. As to date no correct dating method has been developed we can't actually even guess at the age of the dinosaurs. You may point to carbon-dating but that is only good for a 2 to 3 thousand years and then it is not correct to the known carbor in the atomsphere not being stable. As the fact remines that we today still find dinosaurs in the form of fish and small creatures once in a great while. We can't preclud the fact that science may be promoting there thinking and not the facts as atested to by actual evidence and fact. In the case of the great flood there is powerful evidence to prove the flood took place. And there is powerful evidence to prove that dinosaurs died out at a single point of time. Yeat there is not any evidence to prove that was millions of years ago. Actually as the fact is that one bone of a actually Dinosaur that was tested had dna that had not become rock yeat. This is a indication of dinosaurs that are guite a bit younger as in a few thousand years. But it should be understood that dinosaurs most likly could not have servived in the post floor conditions of the earth as they required a great deal of ready meat or grown plants in order to servive. As the post world flood would not have afforded that why would God put them on the boat. Dinosaurs may not be considered animals in the literal since we use today. We are only assuming that they may have been called something else. We do know they existed but the actual knowedge of them has been lost over time. Other then some bones and nutty science types guessing as to how they lived and how long ago.

"Behemoth" is the word used in Job to describe dinosaurs.. Other descriptions of prehistorical animals are found, that most people don't recognize. It indicates that man walked alongside of them.

Answer 4

Jehovah's Witnesses are not Creationists. They believe that the
creation account in Genesis provides sufficient information for its purposes, and is not intended by God to be a scientific discourse discussing every aspect of creation.

While Jehovah's Witnesses do not pretend to be privvy to the particularities of exactly how the Almighty created the spirit realm or the physical universe, they do note that the bible is in complete agreement with true science.

Answer 5

The tale of the flood and the ark is pure fiction; we know from scientific evidence from half a dozen completely different sources that no such flood ever occurred. Even if it had occurred, there would have been no dinosaurs on the ark, as by that time they had been extinct for 65 million years.

Answer 6

Dinosaurs were extinct long before the Ark of Noah...

Answer 7

Dinosaurs are not mentioned in the Bible. And don't believe anyone who says they're mentioned in Job - those were behemoths and it's wishful thinking to call them dinosaurs. Especially since they and humans didn't walk on this planet at the same time.

Answer 8

The dragon myth is arise in the same time in the whole world.This myth arise because of the founding of the fossils.That's why in China,Greek,and Norse tales there are a lots of dragon mention in them.Maybe the myth is added to the bible as it was a book of god and was change by many human.
