Dinosaurs are a myth. Duh.
If it isn't in the bible, it didn't happen. Everybody knows that.

It was actually the flood waters that created the ice age and the sky to be dark. When the cloud mass read in Genesis the earth was covered by a thick cloud that kept the heat in like a giant hot house. Genesis 1:7 they found mastadones with tropical vegetation still in their mouths. Job 38:9 When this water canapoy was gone some areas of the earth was frozen and some was on the equator where the sun hit was very hot.
The whole planet changed during this time the bible says the continients were divided. We know now that did happen and they would fit together. Noah was lifted up and basically in the hand of God while the earth under went a giant transformation. Genesis 10:25 Since then we continue to see animals going extinct. We don't really know what God used to cause those clouds to fall to earth. But we do know that it altered the rock strata to the point that tons of water carved out the grand canyon and other places the mountains rose.
Even making these rocks appear much older than they really are.

I've read the bible cover to cover and do not recall any mention of God killing the dinosaurs...or any specific references to dinosaurs...which itself is a word first used in 1841 by Dr. Richard Owen, M.D. The term was derived by combining the Greek word "deinos", meaning "fearfully great", with "sauros", meaning "lizard". So the word dinosaur means "fearfully great lizard", or as some would say, "terrible lizard". The bible was written in Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek, but nowhere does the term "dinosaur" appear. "Great beasts" mentioned in the bible have been sometimes interpreted to mean dinosaurs, but even if this is an accurate interpretation, it doesn't say that God killed them. The meteor/comet/big rock theory is a very recent one that uses trace element analysis to connect the possible impact of a large rock/comet/meteor that might have resulted in a climatic change that led to the dinosaur's extinction.

Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 1:24, 25. It does not say He destroyed some of the animals after creation, so we may assume then that humans and dinosaurs lived in the same time once on earth. Maybe Humans began to eat them so they become extinct like other species did when we got hungry beyond our imagination.

The bible is indeed the toughest book to decode..the names of the animals are not mentioned in the bible because it is we who named them but they are described...
The Book of Job is one of the oldest books ever written. In it, God tells Job of his greatness as Creator and describes an animal, called Behemoth, as follows:
Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox. Behold now, his strength in his loins, And his power in the muscles of his belly. He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron. (Job 40:15–18)
Marginal notes in most Bibles speculate that Behemoth was probably an elephant or a hippopotamus, but those animals have tails like ropes. Behemoth had a “tail like a cedar.” Any animal with a tail as huge and strong as a cedar tree is probably a dinosaur. Job 40:19–24 describes this giant, difficult-to-capture animal as not alarmed by a raging river. If the writer of Job knew of a dinosaur, then the evolution position is wrong, and man saw dinosaurs.
Also i havent come across anyhting that say the dinosaurs were killed by a comet..that is just crap that scientists made up like all the other crap they make up the biggest BS being the big bang theory.
I suggest that those who do not know anything bout the bible try to learn than to talk crap

It doesn't.
Noah probably had dinosaurs of each kind on the ark. He didn't need to get the biggest ones he could find. Babies would do just fine.
There's plenty of historical references to people killing dinosaurs, but they weren't known as dinosaurs until 1841 when the word was invented.
Throughout history, they've been known as dragons.
Bear in mind that alligators and crocodiles are just as much "dragons" as other large reptiles and they're still with us today. According to the meaning of the word throughout history any reptile large or small, flying, walking, crawling or ocean dwelling was a dragon.
There's references to dinosaurs in the Bible. Behomoth was probably a dinosaur, leviathan was an ocean-dwelling dinosaur. The Hebrew word translated "unicorn" is thought to have been a reference to a dinosaur because the context implies a beast with tremendous strength that couldn't be tamed. Have you ever seen a performing reptile act? They don't respond well to training.

well the bible has a lot of stuff that don't make sense because it says that the earth is only about 4 thousand years old that would mean we lived with dinosaurs which almost everyone knows isn't true(i said almost cause some people are ignorant) but anyways there isn't any talk of dinosaurs in the bible as far as i know so there wouldn't be anything to say how they were killed or how they died

Obviously the Bible has no wording about dinosaurs. However, it doesn't mention every animal by exact name, size and ability either. The Bible doesn't mention the way Chrsit looked. The Bible doesn't mention technological breakthroughs that have forever changed the world; but we all know.

Does everything in the history of the world have to be spelled out in the bible for you to believe it. Understand this, the bible may be God's word but it was written by man. Man makes mistakes and omits things that they do not understand or comprehend or for that matter like. Just because it is not in the book does not mean it did not happen. I am a christian believer but I am a believer in science as well. If you ignore one then you will be ignorant. Take them both for what they are and learn as much from both science and religion that you possibly can.

It doesn't. It mentions that there were giants outside the Garden of Eden. It doesn't say what those giants looked like. And it doesn't say anything about comets or big rocks. That was a -scientific- determination, based on scientific facts. The Bible doesn't have much truck with science.

It doesn't. And it doesn't need to. The Bible is NOT a science textbook. The Bible is a history of the Hebrew and Christian people, and it is a spiritual guide. You can sit around trying to figure out whether or not the dinosaurs were killed by a comet all day, but you'll be wasting your time. You wouldn't consult a dictionary to figure out how to do your algebra. Don't use the Bible to try to figure out your paleontology. That's silly.
