God created everything base on the bible, from adam & eve, how come dinosaur is not included in holy scripture

my personal theory states that they all died with the flood. And God has his reasons for EVERYTHING.

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 ;)

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.

Many Christians, Jews and Muslims believe that God authored the bible. They believe in the inerrantacy of the bible because it is claimed to be inspired by God himself. If the bible is inerrant, without error, then they reason that  the bible must be literally true. The problem for them then is to interpret the bible so any inconsistancies can be explained within the entire bible when read as a whole continuous work. The bible was written by 40 or more individuals over perhaps 1500 years. Reading it as a whole continuous work inspired by God, does not leave room for the evolution of religious thought not to mention the evolution of the Universe and Mankind. This is "Group Think' on a global scale. I am not saying that the bible is not inspired by God, but it should be read in literary form not literal form. In the area of ethics and morals I believe the bible is more literal in nature. God communicates directly with his creation through Science, there is no middle man. Scripture has man in the middle, communicating ideas with his own limited understanding of the world. When fundamentalists are confronted with the science of evolution, they just do not believe it. Some will try to find ways to expain the Universe so it is in agreement with the bible. Examples would be that radioisotope dating is wrong or the Universe was created to look billions of years old when it is less than 10,000 years old. It does seem ridiculous to reasonable people.

so many of those answers just make me want to cry!\nthe bible does not mention dinosaurs so they did not exist?!?!?\nlets just ignore facts and all those fossils!\n\nIt is insanity!

Bible says God created animals. But not as they are NOW. Nowhere does it even elude to the fact that animals would never evolve, mutate or branch off. Creationists dont believe that animals, and humans have not changed, or even evolved with time. Nature would do that, animals would adapt as habitats changed. Thats just common sense.\n\nDinosaur bones. Not Satan. Who is to say that Donsaurs did not walk the earth? I dont believe God created the world in 6 days, but that it was an example, a metaphore if you will. Gods time is not our time, and Dinosaurs could have been created, and extinct before Adam even came to be.

I think it's small-minded of us to assume that God made this huge universe and only put life on one planet. Just because the Bible doesn't mention it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Bible is supposed to be God's story one Earth...maybe other planets have their own Bibles. The only certian thing is that there is one God, one Jesus the savior of all people, and one Holy Spirit, who continues to work in us to this day. God is God, He can do whatever he wants, including making life on other planets.

Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible, I will tell you where but first before Noah’s flood people live to be very old for example: From Genesis\n“{5:21} And Enoch lived sixty and five years and begat\nMethuselah: {5:22} And Enoch walked with God after he\nbegat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and\ndaughters: {5:23} And all the days of Enoch were three\nhundred sixty and five years: {5:24} And Enoch walked\nwith God: and he [was] not; for God took him. {5:25} And\nMethuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and\nbegat Lamech: {5:26} And Methuselah lived after he begat\nLamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons\nand daughters: {5:27} And all the days of Methuselah were\nnine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.\n\nSo you see life spans were very long, now let’s look at animals of today such as the Gila monster, alligators and crocodiles. They all grow as long as they live, the alligator can live to be 80 years old and grow up to 35 feet long. Now lets think how big they would be if they lived 800 years, they would be lets say a “terrible lizard” wow imagine that, that’s exactly what the word dinosaur means. After Noah’s flood God says man time will be three score and ten years, 70 years.\nNo let me show you the dinosaur in the Bible God is speaking to Job.\nJob 40:15 “Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox.\n40:16 See how his strength is in his hips and his power is in his stomach muscles.\n40:17 He moves his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.\n40:18 His bones are like beams of bronze, his ribs like bars of iron.\n\nSome foot notes in Bibles say that the behemoth is an alligator but I don’t know of an alligator that eats grass, other versions say it’s a hippopotamus but have you ever seen a picture of a hippopotamus it has a very small tail and couldn’t be mistaken for a cedar.\nOther Bibles say that is “A large animal, exact identity unknown.” To me there is no doubt that what God is describing is a dinosaur.

No, Adam and Eve were the first Homo Sapiens.\n\nYou're trying too hard to fit science and the bible together.  God didn't create a clean rock called Earth.  He created the Earth with a history.  That's how you come to terms with 1,000,000 year old fossils.  He made them that old to begin with.  Connecting evolution to the Bible is easier than you think.

When did God create dinosaurs, and when did they become extinct?\n\nThe Bible does not provide specific answers to this question. According to the Genesis account, animals were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or ‘days.’ If the Hebrew expression translated “great sea monsters” [Hebrew, tan·ni·nim'] includes dinosaurs, which often inhabited swampy, watery areas, this would mean that dinosaurs were created on the fifth “day.” (Gen. 1:21) We do not know whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth “day”). At the very latest it seems likely that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Noah’s day. Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some kinds of dinosaurs bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to lizards (sauros is, in fact, the Greek word for “lizard”; saura in Leviticus 11:29 . Not all types of dinosaurs were of such gigantic size. Hence, even if they had survived till the Flood, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark. Other smaller members of the particular family or “kind” to which these belonged would have sufficed to fulfill the divine command.\n\nWhile the radioactive dating method is innovative, it is still based on speculation and assumption. In contrast, the Bible account in the first chapter of Genesis simply states the general order of creation. It allows for possibly thousands of millions of years for the formation of the earth and many millenniums in six creative eras, or “days,” to prepare the earth for human habitation.\n\nSome dinosaurs (and pterosaurs) may indeed have been created in the fifth era listed in Genesis, when the Bible says that God made “flying creatures” and “great sea monsters.” Perhaps other types of dinosaurs were created in the sixth epoch. The vast array of dinosaurs with their huge appetites would have been appropriate considering the abundant vegetation that evidently existed in their time.—Genesis 1:20-24.\n\nWhen the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life. But the Bible is silent on how he did that or when. We can be sure that dinosaurs were created by Jehovah for a purpose, even if we do not fully understand that purpose at this time. They were no mistake, no product of evolution. That they suddenly appear in the fossil record unconnected to any fossil ancestors, and also disappear without leaving connecting fossil links, is evidence against the view that such animals gradually evolved over millions of years of time. Thus, the fossil record does not support the evolution theory. Instead, it harmonizes with the Bible’s view of creative acts of God.\n\nWhen Did They Live?\n\nDinosaurs played a dominant role in life on earth during their age. But then they came to an end. The rock layers containing human fossils consistently occur above those layers containing dinosaur fossils. Because of this, scientists generally conclude that humans came on the earthly scene later.\n\nIn this regard the book Palaeontology, by James Scott, states: “Even the earliest species of Homo sapiens (man) lived long after the disappearance of the dinosaurs . . . After tilting (through earth movement) has been allowed for, rocks containing fossil men consistently occur above those preserving the bones of the great dinosaur reptiles and it follows that the latter belong to an earlier age than the human remains.”

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.

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!

Fundies don't like to deal with that fact. You're an intelligent and insightful person for just bringing it up. Golf clap to you, sir/ma'am.\nThe reason there's no mention of dinosaurs or other megafauna in the bible is because back in the day, people couldn't deal with the idea of "prehistory". These creatures all died out aeons ago, so only fossils were left. If someone happened across the fossilized remains of a dinosaur, or even a mammoth, they'd just call it a "giant" and be done with it. (interesting fact: that's where the cyclops myth came from. The skull of a mammoth has its eye sockets set very close together, so it looks like there's only one eye. And it's big...so there ya go. :)

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--

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..

Technically dinosaurs were not even known to have exist until the first evidence was discovered in either the 18th or 19th century. In the book of Genesis note: not to be interepted literally!! It states ( after the life in the sea,animals on land) Sorry I can't quote exactly however; look at all the animals that exist. The Bible would be a LONG book!
