They went around eating all non-believers & other assorted wrong doers. They were the scourge of the world, but thought they were really cool, started smoking to look even cooler, and wound up becoming extinct.

The Bible is not and has never been a science text. The assertion is that men inspired by God wrote the Bible’s content. If mention had been made of dinosaurs it would have never been accepted by anyone and Christianity would not exist. Other omissions from the Bible: the world is round, it revolves around the sun, the sun is not fire, the sun shines from nuclear fusion, the sun is part of a galaxy, what a galaxy is, there are other galaxies, matter is made of atoms, atoms are made of neutrons, protons and electrons, those particles are made of quarks, electricity can flow, the laws of thermodynamics, the theory of relativity, and on and on. Obvious the Bible is utterly incomplete as a science text so should not be used as such.

^There is nothing in the old testament about tyrannosaurus rex, curious as to why you think there is? Maybe someone is pulling your leg.

The person or people who wrote the bible didn't know about the tyrannosaurus rex back then that is why it is not in the bible.

Dude, there is talk in Job about the Behemoth and the Leviathan, but those are the only two that I know of in the Bible. However, if you look in and old 1600's encyclopedia, it will explain the "Dragons" were very rare but still existing creatures, because "then" all large reptiles were refered to as dragons. So they might be refered to in the Bible as dragons. I'm just not sure.

Dinosaurs werent Widely known about when The bible was written. So they were for the most part left out. There's a few creatures that "could" be dinosaures. but their descriptions are closer to things like Buffalo or hippo's.
See in a man made religion, its hard to write about discoveries that havnt been discovered yet.

The bible makes no mention of the T. Rex, or of most other animal species specifically. Only a few types of animals are mentioned at all.

Mind you, not all Christians take the accounts of Genesis in a literal fashion -
something needn't be literal to be true.
