why dosen't the bible mention about dinorsours?

Answer 1

because they hadn't invented fruit flavoured gummy snacks back then!

Answer 2

Realize that the Bible is neither a science text or a history text. It is the record of how God was to bring salvation to mankind. Anything that is not important to salvation gets little to no mention in the Bible. It is already over 3.6 million words long. It does not need to add a lot of pointless information.

The entire story of creation is told in under 1,000 words. While in mentions three broad groups of animals (birds, fish, and land), it gives no specifics on the species within any of those groups. What is important it told - that God was the Creator of all the animals. There is no mention of dogs, cats, kangaroos, buffalos, etc either. Exactly what all species, where in the world, and why was not essential to the plan of salvation. So it is not included.

Is there a mention of dinosaurs within the Bible? The book of Job (which many scholars believe was the earliest Bible book written - even before the creation story of Genesis was written) mentioned two creature that in their discriptions sound very much like dinosaurs. One is a land animal called the Behemoth, and the other a water creature called Leviathan. None match any animal that evolutionist claim would have lived with humans. There are also references in Psalms to great beast which could be dinosaurs. As the word "dinosaurs" was not invented until the late 1800's, you will not find it in the Bible. But there do appear to be references to the creatures we now call dinosaurs having existed.

Because dinosaurs have nothing to do with the death and resurrection of Jesus and the plan of salvation, they get very little mention in the Bible.

Answer 3

Did you know that the first English translators of the Bible translated the word for "large beast" or "behemoth" in Job into "unicorn?"

Crazy.

Literally the Hebrew word used here just means "large powerful animal." Could be an elephant for all we know.

Anyway, the Bible doesn't mention hamsters either. It doesn't mention every single aspect of creation, and this doesn't prove or disprove anything.

And I second what Southpaw said about people not co-existing with dinosaurs. But I'm one of those crazy evolutionary Christians, so what do I know?

Answer 4

Well , does it mention giraffes?Why not? Does it mention kangaroos? Why not?
Actually( and I'm joking) The Bible does mention Dinosaurs and says they were made at the same time with man.
Behemoth ,in Job ch.40 is a Brontosaurus type (maybe diplodaucus) It says ,he stands in the river and is not moved.The water gushes in his face and it doesn't bother him .He eats grass like an ox,has ribs of iron,and a tail like a cedar tree.
Now a crocodile has a big tail but never eats grass,an elephant or a hippo have little tiny tails.But dinosaurs have big tails.
Check out the Ica Stones.They were found in Peru.A set of burial stones engraved with picture thousands of years old.They depict dinosaurs eating men,men using them as beasts of burden,and men hunting stegosurus type dinos.Very interesting!

Answer 5

The Bible wasn't a history book.....and the dinosaurs came way before that time in the World's history.

The Bible was a book to guide and sustain the Hebrew through an awful time.

Answer 6

There are many things written in the bible that are hidden to a carnal minded person, Gen. 9:1 God told Noah to REPLINISH the earth & in Gen. 1:28 God told Adam to REPLINISH the earth which means to fill it up again, can't you see between the lines. That is the same as God saying to Adam fill up the earth again,why, because there was a prehistoric time frame where the animal kingdom & the angels was tested.

Answer 7

That was, apparently, another embarrassing mistake on the part of the Creator, like Eden fiasco and the first generations of humanity, which turned out to be so defective that He eventually decided to wipe them all out and try again. I think the Man Upstairs has a little too much to drink once in a while.

Answer 8

It does, but the word "Dinosaur" wasn't created until the 1800's and the Bible was written in the 30's-90's. Kinda hard to use a word that doesn't exist yet, huh?

Answer 9

Dinasour wasn't a word until the late 1800's.

Umm...the Bible was written a little while before that.

It mentions things like dragons, behemoth, leviathan.

Look them up in the KJV.

Answer 10

DINOASAURS ARE IN THE BIBLE

LEVIATHAN has the following attributes according to Job chapter 41, Psalm 104:25,26 and Isaiah 27:1. This is only a partial listing—just enough to make the point.


“No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.”
“Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?”
“His rows of scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a seal; one is so near another that no air can come between them; they are joined one to another, they stick together and cannot be parted.”
“His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.”
“Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. Darts are regarded as straw; he laughs at the threat of javelins.”
“On earth there is nothing like him, which is made without fear.”
Leviathan “played” in the “great and wide sea” (a paraphrase of Psalm 104 verses 25 and 26—get the exact sense by reading them yourself).
Leviathan is a “reptile [a] that is in the sea.” (Isaiah 27:1)
[a] Note: The word translated “reptile” here is the Hebrew word tanniyn. This shows that “Leviathan” was also a “tanniyn” (dragon).


BOHEMOTH: has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24

It “eats grass like an ox.”
It “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”)
Its “bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.”
“He is the first of the ways of God.”
“He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.”

Answer 11

The dinosaurs had cometh and goneth before the bible was written.
