It is such a trivial question that everyone ask and yes there is evidence, read job 40:15 is mentioned a behemoth, vs 17 goes on to describe his tail as a cedar tree. That is a dinosaur, there is also mention of leviathan in the bible probably another dinosaur, the fact is that job is actually the oldest written book of the bible. Now let me explain this also, the bible is not a book of dinosaurs and is a book written to man about god and man and how they have been throughout the ages. The theme of the bible is sinful man and a savior that came and that was Jesus Christ who we need today friends. Every author writes a book with a subject and purpose in mind. Why arent there a million other things listed in the bible, well quite frankly the book would be so big the whole world couldnt contain it. What do you think.

I think it is talking about Dinosaurs. Scientists use carbon dating to show that the Earth is billions and millions of years old. However, if the Great Flood ocurred, that would make this unreliable. Also, the Earth's atmosphere was very different back then. All these factors must be considered into carbon dating but scientists ignore this. The theory that dinosaurs existed millions of years ago is too great of an assumption to actually be considered "reliable."
Cave drawings of dinosaurs have been found. How did the cave men know how the dinosaurs looked like? Did they find the fossils and draw what they thought they might have looked like from the bone structure? If so, how were they able to intelligently construct the skeleton and figure out how it would have looked like?
Evolution is still only a theory and can not be proven as of now.
I have no problem believing that dinosaurs co-existed with human beings. If they were an everyday animal, not too much focus would have been put on them.
Carbon dating is too great of an assumption to be considered fact. Especially going back that far in history.

In the early 1900's on the Doheny expedition into the Grand Canyon, Indian cave drawings were found which closely resembled a duck-billed dinosaur. Legends from ancient China to ancient England have recorded descriptions of dinosaur-like creatures. The Kuku Yalanji aboriginal people have paintings which look exactly like plesiosaurs. These and other intriguing evidences seem to indicate that perhaps that age of the dinosaurs ended more recently than is commonly taught. Christians do not need to feel foolish about standing on Scripture in their understanding of the world around us. There is ample evidence to support the Biblical record. Evolution serves as the foundation basis for the religions of humanism and atheism. These world views are popular because man, instead of God, decides on rules and moral standards. Creation serves as the foundational basis for Christianity which acknowledges that all things were created by God, that we live in a fallen universe, and that it will be restored to perfection in the future.

I totally agree with you.
I've had teachers who asked me "If the Bible is true, then why doesn't it mention dinosaurs?" They think that just because we believe that dinosaurs existed at the same time as man, then there must be or should be more discussion about them in the Bible.
I think that the mention of the behemoth and the leviathan are references to dinosaurs and also that dinosaurs are not the main theme of the Bible nor should they be; there are more important issues in the Bible that are dealt with than dinosaurs.

I think that's a huge leap from "large animal" to dinosaur. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of types of dinosaurs, none of which were still alive when man entered the scene.
Did Noah take the dinos on the boat with him? The bible says he took every creature on Earth.

I think the beasts described are in reference to Satan. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I could be, because I'm just going from memory here), but it was mentioned during man, not before. We all know man and dinosaur didn't coexist. There IS, however, reference to creations before man and earth in its current state, which leaves the possibility of dinosaurs as being a plausible one.

No. Dinosaurs were unknown at the time, and had been gone 60 million years before anything resembling a human walked on the planet. There are far too many errors (hundreds, as well as numerous self-contradictions) in the bible for any sensible person to consider it a reliable guide to anything.

Yes, I believe those scriptures do tell us about dinosaurs, and how they came about.

They could have been beings which evolved from dinosaurs.
