why iznt there anything about dinasours in the bible?

Question

was adam and eve create b4 the dinasours? if they were, how did Noah put all of them in the ark?

Answer 1

Exactly WHY should the bible mention dinosaurs?
What's the obligation?
The Bible doesn't mention the yellow-bellied sap-sucker.
Does that upset you?
Please remember the bible has a theme and it sticks to theme.

Answer 2

Try explaining these. Some "Scholars", notice the parentheses, say that it's an elephant. OK. Makes sense until you get to the tail. Everyone knows an elephant has a giant tail right? No. It's a spindly little thing. The Bible compares it's tail to a cedar tree. Sound like one of the giant plant eating dinosaurs? Look what it says about the the Leviathan.


15 Look at Behemoth,
which I made along with you.
He eats grass like an ox.
16 Look at the strength of his loins
and the power in the muscles of his belly.
17 He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree;
the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together.
18 His bones are bronze tubes;
his limbs are like iron rods.
19 He is the foremost of God’s works;
[only]his Maker can draw the sword against him.
20 The hills yield food for him,
while all [sorts of]wild animals play there.
21 He lies under the lotus plants,
hiding in the protection of marshy reeds.
22 Lotus plants cover him with their shade;
the willows by the brook surround him.
23 Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;
he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.
24 Can anyone capture him while he looks on,
or pierce his nose with snares?

Job 40:15-24 (HCSB)


1 Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook
or tie his tongue down with a rope?
2 Can you put a cord through his nose
or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3 Will he beg you for mercy
or speak softly to you?
4 Will he make a covenant with you
so that you can take him as a slave forever?
5 Can you play with him like a bird
or put him on a leash for your girls?
6 Will traders bargain for him
or divide him among the merchants?
7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons
or his head with fishing spears?
8 Lay a hand on him.
You will remember the battle
and never repeat it!
9 Any hope of [capturing]him proves false.
Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?
10 No one is ferocious [enough]to rouse Leviathan;
who then can stand against Me?

Job 41:1-10 (HCSB)


If you were going to take animals to repopulate the earth. You would take animals with their full reproductive cycles ahead of them. Not ones that are already sexually mature. That means you would take babies or very young animals. They are a lot smaller too. Wouldn't need as much room. A baby elephant is a lot smaller than an adult

Answer 3

Adam and Eve lived millions of years after dinosaurs were extinct. Why would the Bible mention dinosaurs? It isn't a book of zoology or paleontology. Besides, the biblical writers and other people of their time didn't know that anything such as dinosaurs ever existed. On the few occasions when a giant bone was found, they attributed it to an extinct race of giant humans, not giant reptiles.

Competent biblical scholars recognize "behemoth" as the hippopotamus, and "leviathan" as the crocodile, two animals people of the time WERE well acquainted with.
.

Answer 4

No, man was made last in the order of things. Plant and animal life came first. And no, dinosaurs were not around at the time Noah because they had become extinct by then.

Most people now accept the fact that Genesis did not happen in six literal days of 24 hours, but the "days" represent the different evolutionary stages...one "day" to god could have been a million years.

From Genesis 1:

24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.

25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Answer 5

There are speculations that Behemoth in the book of JOB 40:15 could be dinasours.

Answer 6

Job 40:15, Job 40:1, Ps 74:14, Isa 27:1 as far as how they were put on the ark, that is only someones oppinion but not Mine I dont give oppinions I cant back up with the word of God...but we know they did exist..and it could have been preflood they existed not after the flood...who knows...

Answer 7

In the Bible God creates all the anaimals and beast of the earth and then man we don't know how long they were here before God created man because we don't know what timeline God is on. But he also created all the swimming thing in the oceans and sea, And then he Created the Great sea monsters. So there has to be Dinosors before man because man was created after all these.

Answer 8

there is. the animals were created before Adam & Eve, and the Ark was big enough to hold all the animal God told Noah to put on it

Answer 9

Behemoth and Leviathon were dinosaurs; Job 40. Remember the term dinosaur was 'coined' by man around 1850 A.D..

Answer 10

the bible is not a book about dinosaurs, it is god book he has written to relate with man, why arent there a million other subjects in the bible, its only a book of god relating to man throughout time to contain every detail of life and history would be a book that is uncontainable.
