what does the bible say about dinosaurs?

Answer 1

It doesn't say anything about them one way or another. So, quite logically, this has led some religious fundementalists to believe, despite the huge masses of biological, geological, and paleontological evidence, that they never existed at all. Sound logic there.

Answer 2

Check out this article I found for you and the site listed below. The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.
Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word “dinosaur.” The word “dinosaur” was originally coined in 1841, more than three thousand years after the Bible first referred to “Tanniyn.” To make things clearer, we constructed the following table comparing the scientific names with the Biblical names tanniyn, behemoth, and Leviathan. www.clarifyingchristianity.com/dinos.shtml

Answer 3

Whereas the Bible does not actually use the word, "Dinosaur" it does speak of them. At the time, no one had made the word, so they were described in other ways.

To give one instance, the Bible speak of two in the book of Job. (Pronounced: Jobe.) God is speaking directly to job, and tells him to look at the Behomoth, his ribs like iron, and his tail like a mighty Cedar tree. Do not be fooled into thinking this beast was a hippopotomous or elephant. They simply do not match the description, especially the part about his tail being a Cedar.

In the same talk, God points out Leviathan to Job. A Sea beast who no man can kill, capture, or tame. One who makes the sea bubble like a pot. Once again, as some try to explain this animal to be a manatee or some such animal, a manatee also does not fit the description.

It's all in the book of Job, you can go read it yourself if you like. I hope I helped.

Answer 4

Oh boy, it talks about Leviathan somewhere but right off hand I cant remember, somewhere in Genesis, I believe. Don't worry, they are in there.

Ther verses are Job 3:8, Job 41:1, Psalms 74:14, psalms 104:26 and isaiah 27:1

I do believe that Leviathan was a huge dinosaur

Answer 7

actually, i does say thing about dinosaurs in Job. This description of an animal is the most elaborate description in the bible. It talks of a behemoth with a tail the size of a cedar tree (which none of our huge beasts have besides dinos). I think its Job 40 sometin. Read more of Job and it also talks about a sea creature that sprays fire.

Answer 8

In the book of Job and in the book of Jonah there a lots of info on large animals, I believe the animals that we call dino's today died during the flood in the time of noah, thats why so many of their fossils are found in high altitude places, as the waters rose they went to higher ground. its a common sense thing to me. Now I have a question for you, have you been born again, have you accepted Christ as your Saviour, if not please email me if you would like to talk. That is the most important decision you will ever make in your life. Good luck and may God Bless!!!

Answer 9

christian revisionists will sometimes say that dinosaurs are really "behemoths" mentioned in Job 40:15-24.

Answer 10

It doesn't say anything because it was written by people who didn't know they existed.
