She doesn't believe it because it says nothing about dinosaurs in the bible. She says that all the scientists & archaeologists have made up all the evidence that they've found to confirm the existence of dinosaurs.

First find a bible. Next read Genesis Chapter , its only 1 page. Then explain to you grand mother that god’s creations hade an order. That the fish in the water where created, then animals on land, then man. Then explain to her that in genesis when it talks about the days god created things, it does not literally mean day by day, it is just a way to understand the time line. If she can except that point out that god created animals ( including dinosaurs) before man and that some of these animals ( including dinosaurs)  died off before the time of mans creation, and well before moses wrote the old testament. \n\nMy email is, josh_r36@yahoo.com please write me and tell me how it went.

In the grand scheme of things, those aren't important.\n\nThe Bible is a guide on how to live your life and how to walk according to God's wishes.  I'm not as good in my Bible as I should be so I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense.\n\nAnd I do believe they reference dinosaurs in Genesis vaguely - someting about monsters of the deep - during the flood story.

This is a hard question though it does not say specficly that dinosaurs was created in the Bible, God did give Adam the authority to name every living creature..\n\n\n\nThe 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.\n\n\nAlthough 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.”\n\n\nBehemoth has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24\n\n\nIt “eats grass like an ox.” \nIt “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”) \nIts “bones are like beams of bronze,\nHis ribs like bars of iron.” \n“He is the first of the ways of God.” \n“He lies under the lotus trees,\nIn a covert of reeds and marsh.” \nSome bibles and study bibles will translate the word “behemoth” as “elephant” or “hippopotamus.” Others will put a note at the edge or bottom of the page, stating that behemoth was probably an elephant or a hippopotamus. Although an elephant or hippopotamus can eat grass (or lie in a covert of reeds and marsh), neither an elephant or a hippopotamus has a “tail like a cedar” (that is, a tail like a large, tapered tree trunk). In your kid’s dinosaur book you will find lots of animals that have “tails like a cedar.”\n\nWe would expect behemoth to be a large land animal whose bones are like beams of bronze and so forth, so whatever a behemoth is, it is large. A key phrase is “He is the first of the ways of God.” This phrase in the original Hebrew implied that behemoth was the biggest animal created. Although an elephant or a hippopotamus are big, they are less than one-tenth the size of a Brachiosaurus, the largest (complete) dinosaur ever discovered.[1] A Brachiosaurus could therefore easily be described as “the first of the ways of God.”\n\n\nLeviathan 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.\n\n\n“No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.” \n“Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?” \n“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.” \n“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.” \n“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.” \n“On earth there is nothing like him, which is

I agree.  quoting the bible or something is not valid as evidence for people who dont believe.  I only quote it when asked about it.\n\nAgree with you.\n\nHow about the question about noah's ark?  That was answered with all science, perfectly by a Christian. This is how we should answer non believers, like "ILoveJesus" lady did.\n\nhttp://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhDhtQPisFZHWxrMoTU6HW7AFQx.?qid=20061123154534AAR0ZO2\n\nthat was well done!  check it out!\n\ndavid

To my knowledge the Bible doesn't mention anything about dinosaurs.  I've read about donkeys and giants, but no dinosaurs.  I figure I'll just ask Jesus about them when I get up there.

I think your being a bit too general. You know everything is not that black and white. There is some truth to your statement but it does ot apply to all.There are too many scientific and archaeological statements in the bible that have been proven to be true.There are too many facts to dismiss.

A prankster god left them there to test our faith did he?\nI dont know how anyone could dispute the existence of dinosaurs, even most creationists now believe that dinosaurs existed (but relatively recently and surviving the 'flood' on the Ark).\nDinosaurs are real

The reason it is hard for her to believe the Bible is because there are too many anti-christs populating the world today as you have seen abundantly in your responses to this question. Mr. Qu'ran pusher needs to study a little more before he goes puking up so much non-sense.  Satellite photos show mount ararat to be the most likely resting place of the Ark, so all he did was prove his book wrong- they also found what used to be called Gopherwood and remnants from the area in which the Bible says the Ark was built as well as the precise calculations of the size of the Ark outlining the area. \n\nAll you can do is pray for your daughter. You planted a seed and if the plant withers it did not take root- and the world today is a very rocky road that would make it hard for any seed to develop a strong root base.\n\nShe has to make her own choices and all we can do is pray for her to make the right ones.  As a Christian, we KNOW the RIGHT answers, we do not need convincing.  BUT by the responses you got here, it seems that many here are lost and subconsciously are asking for God to reveal Himself to them, otherwise- why would they be here in this section answering questions?  Why would they be so snide and cold with their answers? Do they not see the cruelty and evil in their replies? \n\n"Forgive them Father, they know not what they do!"\n\nI am praying for your daughter and all of these non-believers because they dont know better. It seems that science, the news and MTV has become their idols.\n\nSend her to the forum below, theres a lot of new believers there that may be able to help- there are also some non-believers which are actually more helpful in their debating.

That's a dumb b.... It makes you really wonder about the current state of our educational system. I like how she says there's evidence that supports Christianity. I hate to tell her, but the bible is not rock-solid.

Archeology is a science and the science is not static like the "true"  Bible. In the Bible all the thinks are true without question, they are "God" words.  In science we question all the thinks and the true of today maybe be false tomorrow and this concept is not bad is really good. If you are a believer your true is based on faith, if you believe in the science your true is based on proof and the proof are generally changing. Yes there are a  lot of discrepancies between the evidences. Are you willing to accept the differences even if they point that Bible is incorrect?

it hasnt been proven, but there are pictures out there, tho most of them are fake\n\ni personally believe that there probably once was one, but there really isnt much chance that it is still alive\n\nit was probably a decendent of some dinosaur thing\n\nso yea, id say it is, well, WAS real

Since ppl have biases, if a Christian were to do that, they would be ignoring what they were taught. The tests the student is given is based on what was taught, not on what the student thinks. The Christian student should look at the situation as, "the teacher taught me how these scientists interpret geologic evidence, I interpret it differently, but she wants to know that I understand how these ppl interpret it, so I'll tell her."\n\nIt isn't lying, the test isn't about the student's personal beliefs, it's to gauge how well they understand what they were taught, the student's thoughts on whether it's correct or not is completely separate.\n\nTo The Wired, it isn't about overlooking evidence, it's about interpreting it differently. An evolutionist looks at a fossil and says it died millions of years ago based on their assumptions about geology and uniformitarianism (the assumption that the geologic rates haven't changed drastically at any time)\n\nI'd look at the same fossil and say it most likely died during Noah's Flood a few thousand years ago, based on my assumptions that the Bible is true and God doesn't lie to us when He speaks plainly about what He did. The Flood drastically changed the Earth's geology and moved a lot of dirt and rock, burying those animals. If you think that's an unreasonable assumption, in local floods of today, the water looks brown, bc of all the dirt it picks up. If that happens in a local flood, it's definitely going to happen in a global flood.

I am not Christian and do not follow the teachings of the bible.  I find too may unanswered questions in it to believe it.  For instance.. If God created Adam and Eve and they had Cain and Able,  Where did Cain and able get wives?\nI have not met a Christain that can explain this to me yet, they still believe the bible to be fact.

So much info out there about your question.  Get a hold of a book by Ken Ham.......Dinosaurs and the Bible.  \n(creation scientists believe that dinosaurs were called dragons before the word dinosaur was invented in the 1800s.........)Dragons are mentioned in the Bible. It's very interesting.

How could anyone know? That is a key indicator that the bible is BS. None of the people that made Christianity know about neanderthal etc. Now these flaws are being shown. If the bible says there were no neanderthals, then it is wrong, if it says there was, then is acknowledges evolution.

This answer was the most funny:\n\n"The whole Bible is the truth. Science is not always right you know. Ancient scientist once believed that the earth was flat! I think we have come a long way! :) "\n\nSo according to her, progress is going back to stone age thinking.\n\nSkygod make world in 7 day. Me made of dirt. You made of me rib. Whoowhooo.

they called them dragons in the bible silly.\n\nand there is more proof of dinosaurs than there is of God
