Why doesn't the bible talk about dinosaurs???

The bible's description of "the six days" is not intended to imply 24 hour earth days but instead 6 epoch of times in which fundamentally significant elements were created. It is interesting to note that when the six "days" are reflected against the generally well accepted theories on evolution of the universe and ultimately earth, the six epochs relate quite well to the process of "first there was light" (perhaps big bag), ..., "firmament" (as in the early life on earth), ..., to eventually human creation. Disosaurs, I believe, are grouped in to the "day" in which floura, fauna and animals were created. I hope this helped in some way.

This is a question that seems to come up a lot, but I love it anyway!\nIf the Bible is really God's word, then there is no problem at all with a literal 6 day creation story. (If you try to change that, then you have death before Adam sinned, and Eve could not be the mother of all living, etc ... disbelieving a literal 6 day creation will make you throw out more of the rest of the Bible than you get to keep.)\nI agree with the perspective that God could have created the earth with the appearance of age, created stars with light-years of light coming from them already, etc... I mean, if God can create everything, He can create it however he likes. (Side note on the age of the earth, did you know that according to evolution the earth is ageing millions of years per year? - Ask that one sometime!)\n\nBack when Darwin introduced the theory of Evolution to modern history (the idea goes back WAY before Darwin, but that's another story), he stated that for his theory to work, there must be evidence, and speculated on what it COULD look like - None exists today. Christians really dropped the ball on this one, and let this "theory" become equivalent to "science" (science must be observable and repeatable).\n\nIs there PROOF for creation? No (again, scientific proof must be observable and repeatable), there is not PROOF, but there is a lot more reasonable evidence that there is for creation.\n\nRegarding dinosours, the Bible actually speaks of them (and dragons) in the book of Job.\nSome remote cultures (The Congo, the Amazon, etc.) have recent (20th Century) stories of dinosaurs still living.\n\nThere's a lot more, but I don't want to get too long on you, so check out the link below for TONS more info, on this subject.

PLEASE READ GENESIS CHAPTERS 1 -10. In the garden, There was the Tree of Life and the Tree of knowledge of good and evil. and all the other trees of which Adam and Eve were allowed to eat from. The tree of knowledge of good and evil was the ONLY tree they were told not to eat from or they would die. The Bible does not specify what FRUIT was on that tree. When they disobeyed God and listened to the snake (SATAN) they sinned and thus the perfect world no longer existed. NO, there were no reproductive trees, someone is pulling your leg. ON dinosaurs, God created animals And man on the 6th day of creation. If God made dinosaurs, they are not prehistoric as some say since they were created at the same time as man. P.S.  God did not stop loving Adam and Eve, but He did punish them for their sin.  P.S.S. The Tree of Life is in Heaven, Read Revelation 22:14

The Bible is not a pure science book.\nThere is a passage in Job chapter 40 describing the "behemoth" and another in Job chapter 41 about "leviathan" (King James Version of the Bible) descriptions which could talk about the dinosaur. \n\nSee answersingenesis.org the article on "could Behemoth have been a dinosaur?"

both are right.. in science studies, they only proved that dinosaurs came first. but in the bible, we cant question it bec its gods words

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.

The theory that Satan put the dinosaur bones on this earth to confuse people and make them doubt god and what the bible says. \n\nConsidering there are modern day descendants of dinosaurs still roaming the earth.

don,t worry some zealot will interpret the words of the bible to fit his beliefs-----dinosaurs existed and darwin was right---you can interpret the words in the bible or any religious book to fit your views---i believe there is a god---but not all the different gods that all these different religions describe---all those books were written by men!!!--they are not the words of god--they are the words of weak men-trying to get control of the people around them----it worked--

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.

No. This is because Dinosaurs died out around 65 Million years ago. The bible refers to events in the last few thousand years. According to fundementalist christians the world was created 4000 years ago. The are even building a museum in America which shows Dinosaurs living side by side with humans. THIS IS NOT CORRECT AND IS INSANE TO BELIEVE. There was a programme on the BBC on this museum a few days ago which showed one of those big horned dinosaurs with a sadlle on which gave me a good laugh! I think their reason for the Dinosaurs not surviving the flood was that they couldn't fit on the ark, which also gave me a good laugh ;)

Dinosaur is a word that was created after the King James Version of the Bible...There are references to dragons in Job and Isiah and a few other places.  Which should not be that big of a surprise because even in the Chinese calender there is a dragon. Which you can rule as mythology or whatever....but its not random to just throw a dragon in there with a rat, pig, and other common animals.

Dinosaurs died 100,000,000 years ago. \nThey're gone! Get over it.

You are nuts!. . .Because the dinosaurs died doesn't mean God failed. . .it means the dinos are in Heaven!  (Except the ones who didn't accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and the ones who were gay dinosaurs, or voted Democrat.)

No, Dinosaurs are not a myth.  We have thousands of specimens of fossilized dinosaur remains that indicate that these were indeed real creatures that once lived on our planet.\n\nI have no idea what a "Dimo" is, so I can't answer whether or not the 'Anatomy and Physiology of the Dimo' supports the existence of Dinosaurs, however the anatomy and physiology of archosaurs, avians, and the dinosaurs themselves certainly supports their existence.\n\nThe bone of an animal does not out weigh the flesh.  The skeleton of a 150 pound man would only weigh 10 to 15 pounds.  That comes out to at most about 10% of the weight of the flesh.\n\nWhy wouldn't the creator make carnivores before man?  The bible even says he created the animals before he created man.  Even if you believe the flawed, illogical sequence of creation put forth in the biblical account, there's no reason not to believe that dinosaurs could exist.\n\n'What flood?'  Exactly!  What flood?  There is absolutely no geological evidence that there has ever been a global, total flood that covered the entire Earth in water.  Even if there were, it has nothing to do with the existence or not of dinosaurs.\n\nDinosaurs did not kill themselves off.  The hypothesis with the widest general acceptance in the scientific community is that a massive impact with a meteor or comet at the end of the Cretaceous in conjunction with other stressors brought about the extinction of the dinosaurs.  Certainly no one has ever suggested that the dinosaurs somehow deliberately caused the meteor to crash.\n\nWhat doesn't look natural about their construction in the various re-constructions you have seen?  I have seen some that look very good, and others that look like cheap Hollywood effects (mostly because they are).  I've also seen cartoons where people are depicted with yellow skin, giant bug eyes and three fingers.  That doesn't mean that people don't exist, just that the depiction is not very accurate.  Critters like three-toed sloth, pangolins, sea cucumbers and walking sticks don't look 'natural' either, and yet they do indeed exist.  Just because a creature doesn't meet your expectations of beauty or conform to your notion of what a proper animal looks like doesn't mean they are mythical.\n\nNo one has to lie to get people to 'believe' in evolution.  People who actually look at things like physical evidence and scientific experimentation without jumping to pre-drawn conclusions based on religious dogma are almost invariably convinced of the validity of evolutionary theory.  The only lies are spread by those who refuse to accept evidence that they erroneously believe attacks their religious beliefs.\n\nMan doesn't come directly from a fish.  If you look at the morphological and anatomical similarities between a Sarcopterygian fish and an early amphibian, between an amphibian and a reptile, between a synapsid reptile and an early mammal, between an early mammal and an insectivore, between an insectivore and a prosimian lemur, between a lemur and a monkey, between a monkey and an ape, between an ape and an early hominid, between the hominid and Homo erectus and between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens sapiens, you too will see the constant, slow and gradual development of some characters and the conservative retention of other characters that indicates a long and gradual evolutionary process from fish to man.\n\nThe Big Bang theory is a whole 'nother topic, even bigger, you might want to post another question about that.  It too has little to do with the reality of dinosaur existence.\n\nMaybe the book "Jarasic Park" talks about the "myth of Dinosaurus", but the novel "Jurassic Park" by Michael Crichton which was made into a series of increasingly bad films certainly does not.

Haven't you ever heard of the Churchosaurus Rex? Big creature with a bible tail, used it to bible thump non-believing dinosaurs. I heard those ankylosaurus were a hard dinosaur to crack. Probably ended up in tar pit hell. \n\nI kid, I kid!

It's very simple, they didn't believe in them, nor know about them.\n\nThe beginning of "Christianity" in the Torah, aka Old testament, was just 6,000 years old.\n\nWay after the dinosaurs were extinct.\n\nThe reason why they don't mention a lot of animals like the kangaroo, toucan and so on; is that the "Religion" was a localized one to the Middle East, around present day Israel and mentioned events that happened there.\n\nThe Great Flood was perhaps a localized event that happened due to glacial melting and the shift of the earths axis.\n\nMost things in the Torah would be full of inaccuracies.\n\nI think you shouldn't take things literally, like the 7 days story; because it's evident that there was no one around to make that "Testament".\n\nChristianity is, really, more based upon the Charisma of Christ. It's greatness lies in the fact that Christ taught us to seek the Truth and not be blinded by lies.
