Absolutely not!I am an Amish youth from PA.I hope I can resolve your debate.We beleive the so-called dinosaur bones are bones from other animals put together in the shape of a dinosaur.Me personally,I think they are nothing but a joke!

Oddly, usually they don't.  Usually, a piece of bone is found protruding from the ground already, and that's how dinosaur skeletons are found.

Yes... I grew up around Amish country in Ohio.  My great-greandparents were Amish, but they "jumped the fence" (left the religion) before they committed to be baptized.  I still have Amish relatives in Indiana, and the family goes there for a huge family reunion in the summer.

Dinosaurs actually lived preceding bible time and their remains are a decently sized loophole of the book. Comedien Bill Hicks once referenced the topic when he offered a fictional conversation between himself and a believer in bible time. It was a one word question and read: "Dinosaurs?"\n\nBy the way, there were no Dinosaurs at the time of Noah's arc.

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.\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.” To make things clearer, we constructed the following table comparing the scientific names with the Biblical names tanniyn, behemoth, and Leviathan.\n\n\n\n\n \n \n&#92;Did Dinosaurs Really Exist?\nDinosaurs certainly did roam the Earth in the ancient past! Fossils of dinosaurs have been found all over the world, and their bones are displayed in museums for all to see. Scientists have been able to reconstruct many of their skeletons, so we know much about how they may have looked.\n\nWhen Were Dinosaurs Found?\nThe story of their discovery began back in the 1820s, when Gideon Mantell, an English doctor, found some unusual teeth and bones in a quarry. Dr Mantell realized there was something very different about these animal remains, and believed that he had found an entirely new group of reptiles. By 1841, about nine types of these different reptiles had been uncovered, including two called Megalosaurus and Iguanodon.\n\nAt this time, a famous British scientist (and creationist), Dr Richard Owen, coined the name ‘Dinosauria,’ meaning ‘terrible lizard,’ for this is what the huge bones made him think of.\n\nWhat Makes Dinosaurs Different?\nOther than the huge size of some dinosaurs, the major feature that really distinguishes dinosaurs from other reptiles (such as crocodiles) is the position of their limbs. Dinosaurs had posture that was fully erect, similar to that in mammals. Most other reptiles have limbs in a sprawling position. For instance, compare the way a crocodile ‘walks’ with that of, say, a cow. Dinosaurs would have moved like a cow, with the limbs supporting the body from beneath. Crocodiles ‘waddle,’ as their limbs project sideways from their body.\n\nHow Big Were Dinosaurs?\nSome were as small as chickens, and others were even smaller. Of course, some dinosaurs were very large, weighing in at an estimated 80 tons and standing 40 feet high! The average size of a dinosaur, however, was probably about that of a small horse. \n\nWhen Did Dinosaurs Live?\nThe story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, and most magazines and textbooks is that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. According to evolutionists, the dinosaurs ‘ruled the Earth’ for 140 million years, dying out about 65 million years ago. However, scientists do not dig up anything labeled with those ages. They only uncover dead dinosaurs (i.e., their bones), and their bones do not have labels attached telling how old they are. The idea of millions of years of evolution is just the evolutionists’ story about the past. No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist observed dinosaurs die. Scientists

Christians suppose themselves to be so humble, but they are confident to tell you exactly what the second most powerful supernatural being, who wants to trick us, wouldn't do.  You all ought to say "I don't know."  \n\nI think the existance of dinosaurs definitely threatens the veracity of Genesis, and the supposed 6000 year age of Earth.

It will make sense to say that dinosaur were first than men so man will have something to eat?, though I don't believed in such theory at least you will keep the Boy, mind a bit busier. although no to fur from the true in God creation God create everything that man will need to survive, and the final act of his perfect creation was man, and of course from his ribs, Literally?), his companion woman. so if he miss something and becomes a believer he can continue in the right path. Question, other wise I will be very careful to answer any different in case he is trying to fit some religious believed with the idea of evolution?. and/or the prehistoric era?. I don't know how old is your Son but know  a day's children's are a bit smart than the regular and ever so popular baby boomers.---- try not to allow room for him to cough you in a big lie----Remember the old  saying : "The thruth will set you free"

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....

I was taught that most dinosaurs died out in the flood, but there are references to massive creatures such as the Leviathan and Behemoth in Job that could have been dinosaurs.\n\nI wonder why every culture has tales of "dragons". One idea is that this is so because the early humans had contact with dinosaurs which are also "great lizards" and then some properties like breathing fire got added in the thousands of years that these legends have been around.\n\nAccording to some theories, the Loch Ness monster is a dinosaur.

In the West, we're pretty cynical. We don't believe anything until it's shown to us: hence theories of dinosaurs were laughed at until bones were first turfed up in the 19th Century. Other examples: the komodo dragon, the seahorse, the blue whale, the dodo, the protozoa (tiny microscopic organism), the elephant, the narwhal, the white rhino, the moose, the platypus...the list is endless. And there are still loads of animals we think are myths that may be de-mythed in the future: the yeti, the bunyip, the Loch Ness Monster, the unicorn...

Most Christians not only believe the dinosaurs existed, but make fine scientists as well.

There is a story in the bible (forgive me b/c I forget which book it is in) but it talks about why God created different languages & why he set apart different people. It talks about race & how it was not something that was created but something that the world & the environment around us has evolved.  That is why people closer to the equater have darker skin & those farther away have lighter skin, etc.. It explains all of that so keep reading.. You'll get there.. Oh yeah & dinosaurs are in the bible as well.. Trust me..

It can, eventually you are going to have to decide what is cool for you and not your family. The Truth is that no matter who you are with, you always have to deal with yourself. Certain beliefs you will come in to contact with will simply not make sense to you, or they will.\n\nI am pretty inquisitive myself, I once asked a priest a question. I had asked him that if the Bible was a true story, how come it NEVER mentions dinosaurs or anything and just starts with Adam and Eve. How is it we have proof that Dinosaurs lived millions and millions of years before we have any proof of Man at all...? And how can you put so much faith in a book that could be someones TWISTED view of how it went down, simply to control masses of people or maybe just because MAN himself is merely Flawed and HUMAN and makes mistakes...as we ALL DO?\n\nThe fact is that, you have to FEEL as you Do...For whatever REASON, you have to go through what ever your life brings you and LEARN FROM IT ALL and DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS. Be comfortable with YOU. Find a Religion or Faith that makes you feel good, inside and out. If its the one parents like good for you all. If it is NOT then good for you all. Do what fulfills you. Not what fulfills others, that is thier responisbility.

People unable or too lazy to think for themselves believe the nonsense that is written in the Bible.  They would have you believe that there have never been dinosaurs because Noah didn't take any into the Ark.\nAs to Adam and Eve, did they pass on the tale of their origins so that it could be written down thousands of years later when man finally learned to write?  Pardon my chuckle.

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.

First and foremost of all, the Amish beliefs prevent them to advance beyond the technologies of the 18th-century; thus, it will nearly impossible to find an Amish online (this in itself can be a blessing for them because of the technologies, men became more arrogant).\n\nSecondly, Amish is both a group of people as well as a belief-system.  They are NOT related in any ways to the Roman Catholic Church.  The Amish people, as mistakenly named as the Penn. Dutch, are actually Germans.  They call all Non-Amish as "English" whilst using their own dialect of German language within their own circles.\n\nThey are very religious with their own interpretation of the Christian Bible.  They believe in marrying one's own cousins is justified with their interpretation of the Bible.  They do not like modern technologies which they view as temptations and/or source of Satan's Evil.
