wher there dinosaurs and how do they relate to the beginingof earth as told in the bible ?

The existence of dinosaurs is a scientifically proven FACT. The Bible is a traditional compendium of narratives spanning many centuries. Belief in the Bible is a matter of FAITH.\nIf you choose to believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, then there's no place for dinosaurs. Or you could come up with some laughable (from a scientific viewpoint) and wild theory such as the ones mentioned above.\nIf you are able to understand that the Bible holds so many much more important messages and ideas, and that it was composed in very different historical and cultural circumstances (and some parts are just not applicable today), then you can approach paleontology and evolution without feeling that you're condemning yourself.  \nFaith and science are not incompatible.\n\n------------------------------------\ncanislupus, that was _awesome_ lol!\n\nHowever, I've answered in earnest, I hope the asker is not offended by the joke.

They don't. The Bible was written a few million years after the disappearance of the dinosaurs by people who did not have a clue about them. The Genesis book was inspired by the Babylolian's myths of Creation. Every old civilization had its own myth of Creation. We now have mathematicians, astrophysicists, biologists, etc. to inquire these fundamental questions : «What is the history of the universe? How did life began and evolved on Earth or - maybe - elsewhere ?» Etc.

Read Job 41:15-24. This animal "behemoth" does line up with all the features of a dinosaur. And it doesn't fully line up with any other animal that I know.\nAn interesting fact might be that Job is considered to be the oldest book in the Bible.

In my opinion nothing.  Many die hard Christians agree and believe dinosaurs never existed because they are not in the bible.  Many other just as die hard point to Job 40:15-24 as a description of a dino.  Check the website out.  I still think the bible says nothing, but make up your own mind...

There are 3 earth ages (II Pet.3:5-7), same earth but different ages. We are now in the 2nd earth age. Between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2 is a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between these 2 verses is Satan’s rebellion (Rev.12:3-4) and “his tail” drew 1/3 of God’s children. Between these 2 verses also belongs all fossils and remains, such as Dinosaurs.\n\nIn Gen.1:2 we have the of the end of the 1st earth age and the beginning of the 2nd. For clarity Gen.1:2 needs to be divided (see below).\n\n(A) Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. \n\n(B) Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.\n\nIn (A) Gen.1:2 the first occurrence of the word “was” has been corrupted and is “became”. It reads “And the earth became without form, and void”. The end of the 1st earth age.\n\nIn (B) Gen.1:2 we have the beginning of 2nd earth age, the one we live in now. Man did not exist in flesh till this earth age.\n\nFLESH MAN DID NOT EXIST TILL Gen.1:26\n\nBetween (A & B) Gen.1:2 is also a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between (A & B) Gen.1:2  is; a global flood (not Noah’s which was a local flood), the destruction of Atlantis, the breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age. \n\nTime means nothing to our Father. He is very patient and loves His children. Instead of destroying Satan and 1/3 of His children, He destroyed that first earth age. Now in this 2nd earth age we all are born innocent in the flesh. Father came in the flesh Himself, Jesus Christ, and paid the price for all. Father defeated Satin, that is death, legally. So now His children have a decision, to choose life or to choose death. It’s your decision. Choose life!!\n\nSame earth, the earth age was destroyed. \n\nJer 4:22  For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. \nJer 4:23  I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. \nJer 4:24  I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. \nJer 4:25  I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. \nJer 4:26  I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. \nJer 4:27  For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. \n\nNo man floating around in a ark.\n\nIn this we can see the break up of Gondwana land, the ice age. Destruction of Atlantis. A global flood where noah's was local.\n\nListen, this not easy to document here in this text box.\n\nGen.1:3 Let there be light, not created.\nGen.1:6 Let there be a firmament, not created.\nGen.1:9 Let the waters, not created.

Dinosaurs are not mentioned in the bible. Read this:\nhttp://www.bibleandscience.com/science/dinosaurs.htm

So Christians' proof that the Bible mentions dinosaurs is that Job is supposed to have been able to see one? So, I guess Christians believe that dinosaurs and man were hanging out together. Guess they must be really excited about the upcoming "Land of the Lost" remake. I thought it was going to be a typical summer blockbuster-type movie. I didn't realize it was a historical documentary....

Bible says, "Earth is 6,000 years old."\n\nArcheology and Ancient History says, "Earth is BILLIONS of years old." Radio Carbon Dating proves this.\n\nI've heard nonsensical retorts from bible thumpers that say, "Oh, yea fossils are caused when lightning hits trees or bones, so that's why there are fossils." (This is BS).\n=========================\nBible says, "Dinosaurs? What dinosaurs?" (makes NO mention of dinosaurs) -- And imagine how long Adam and Eve would have lasted in the Land of Dinosaurs, LOL...\n\nArcheology, Paleontology, Ecology, Pathology, etc. says, "There are 1,000s of species of dinosaurs that are millions of years old".\n\n========================\nBible says, "There was one man and one woman starting out.(Adam and Eve)" -- This would have us believe incest is how we all came about. (Again, completely nonsensical). Next comes the cover story for this:\n\nThey're next retort is to tell the story of the "Tower of Babel".  This story tries to explain that the Adam and Eve family was "miraculously" split into millions of different races!  (AMAZING!).  All the humans decided they'd build a giant pyramid to heaven and overthrow god!  (HAHAHA silly humans! BAM, now you're 1,000 different races and tongues!)  --  What kind of nursery rhyme is this?\n--------------------------------------------------\n ONLY Bush-voting, Rush Limbaugh-listening, Bill O'Reilly- Talking Headed baffoons can believe this kind of s***.\n\nHuman ecology and pathology would show that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have inbreeding like this, without the bad effects.  Humans would be complete mongoloids now with horrible deformities.\n========================\nWhy is evolution so hard to believe?  Given the billions of years it takes for chemicals to react and combine and recombine, things happen.  Synthetic materials are produced, entities are born.\n\nI imagine if bible thumpers didn't know about wind they'd assume that famous rock formations were made by the "hand of god".\n\nReligion should have gone the way of the dinosaur, but sadly, we are stuck in a land of barbarian-like people.  It's easier to believe what you're told to believe, than to think for yourself, thus evolving yourself...\n--------------------------------------------\nChurches are a BILLION-DOLLAR a year industry!\nEach church tells you to give 10% of your income each week!\nIf the average(low) person pays their (10%) or .1*$400/week = $40). Imagine an average church has 200 members.  200 * $40 = $8000 (GASP).  And there are MEGA CHURCHES that have attendances of around 5,000 or so... ($200,000/week) (DROOL)  Who wouldn't want to be a "preacher"?\n\nIf the "preacher" can do his job and get his congregation to believe the bull and create converts, he's basically filling his bankroll with more money.  It's the biggest pyramid(ponzi) scheme in history!

I believe that science has established the continental drift, and that dinosaurs and humans never lived at the same time. As for christians believing in it well, the Bible doesn't say anything about either but if they believe the thing about dinos & human or disbelieve continental drift, then they must not pay too much attention to science or history.

There aren't any dinosaurs in the bible. They just look back at comments about dragons and say 'See dinosaurs! We knew it all along.'. Um, no. \nBy the way, there are unicorns in the bible:\n\nNum 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. \n\nWell, now we all know that unicorns exist. Thank you informative and fact filled bible.

It is said that  when dinosaurs first appeared, the Earth was made up of one big continent. All the landmasses were joined together. This big continent is known as Pangaea.As time went by, Pangaea gradually broke apart into the landmasses we know today. First it separated into a northern and a southern continent. The southern continent, which included Australia, was known as Gondwana. During the Cretaceous Period, Gondwana gradually broke up into the present landmasses of Africa, South America, India, Antarctica, and Australia. Antarctica and Australia were the last continents to separate, starting about 100 million years ago. \n\nThe Antarctic was at the Earth's equator during the Cambrian period, roughly 500 million years ago. As the continents drifted atop the more liquid interior layers of the Earth, the Antarctic drifted south during the time of the dinosaurs (the Mesozoic Era) when it was attached to Australia. During that time, it had no glaciers, and housed many animals, including some dinosaurs. Over the millennia, Antarctica drifted farther south, separated completely from Australia, and is now located at the South Pole of the Earth. The fossils of first dinosaur were said to be found in Antartica.\n\nPaleontologists in Brazil reported of finding the oldest dinosaur so if that is the case, the first dinosaur could have first appeared in South America.\n\nBased on what has been described that the earth was just one continent, who will know which present continent it first appeared? It appeared and moved from here to there so fossils discovery in a certain place do not tell that such dinosaurs appeared in there as they were not confined in specific place.☺

My grandmother, who is hardcore Southern Baptist, says the dinosaurs did not exist ever, that they were just bones planted by someone to support a fantasy. She also doesn't believe space exists.... I don't ask her questions anymore.

no because by any logic those dinosaur couples would not only have crowded everyone else off the ark, but would also have sunk it. since the bible never mentions that the ark sunk due to overweight brontosaurii, dinosaurs are blasphemy.\n\nyou do know that we're both going to hell for being involved with this question? if you bring the sunscreen, i'll bring the shades and Jimmy Buffet tape.

It doesn't.  The dinosaurs existed millions of years before mankind. They died off around 65 million years ago.

God created the universe and everything in it in 6 days.  He rested on the 7th.  And what does that have to do with dinosaurs?

Actually, there's a very simple explanation.\n\nDinosaur fossils have been around for tens of millions of years.  They include fossilized bones and teeth, but also fossilized impressions of skin and footprints.  \n\nThousands of years ago, our ancestors stumbled uppon such fossils just as we do today.  They knew nothing about bones turning to rock and they certainly had no idea about the age of these things.  The fossils could have been a month old or a decade.  Still, they never saw any living dinosaurs.\n\nThey made the best assumption that they could - there were huge lizard beasts that used to be common but now were rare.  All of them - some with feet, some without, some with wings, some without - got lumped together, thrown into the blender of folklore and came out as dragons.\n\nAnd since dinosaur fossils are everywhere on earth, dragon myths are everywhere as well.\n\nNow, doesn't that make sense?

As much as I want to believe my religion, I feel that the evolution theory is correct . If the bible was written incorrectly or abridged by the writer of genesis to not include dinosaurs, and the timeframe infered between Adam and Eve and the creation of the Earth were different, then it would be possible that both theories are correct.
