Does the Bible say anything about dinosaurs? And if so where?

well actually I've been pondering this for a while. God say's He created them. I dont think they were 'pets'. the fossil soil beneath us is four miles thick all around the earth. that translates into one hell of a lot of dinosaurs. then they died . God begins creating again calling forth 'every living creature'. life begins to grow and mulitply on its own without God's help. so it is my feeling that the dinosaurs served one absolute and essential purpose. God created them specifically to be used as fertilizer for the earth. to provide fossil fuel. the earth would not be in existence today if not for the dinosaurs. life as we know it would not be the same. they were used to prepare the earth for human habitation.

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

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?"

The Catholic Church largely accepts that evolution happened. No dinosaur (other than their bird descendants) ever walked the Earth at the same time as man. Ever. Dinosaurs went extinct sixty five million years ago when a large asteroid struck the Earth in the Yucatan peninsula and spread a layer of iridium across the entire surface of the Earth (to this day, a thin layer of it can be found in the KT strata.)\n\nPope John Paul II, in a speech before the Academie Francaise said that evolution 'est plus qu'un theorie' (is more than a theory.) His assertion was that truth cannot contradict truth. It is true that God is capable of (and did) allow a universe to unfold over thirteen billion years. It is also true that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the world on the cross.\n\nBoth are true. Science and what it discovers is important. Scientific truths allow us to improve our understanding of our environment, and come up with ways to improve our quality of life. And theological truths allow us to understand our purpose, and come up with ways of accepting his grace which improve our relationship with God. \n\nNeither needs to inhibit or stop the other. Nowhere in scripture do St. Paul or Jesus establish a soteriological test which requires, for salvation, a belief in a young Earth, or dinosaurs stomping down the streets of Fred Flinstone's Bedrock. Which is the more limiting? To insist that God is capable only of a 6,000 year old 6 day creation? Or that he might be capable of a 13 billion yeaar old universe 30 billion light years across? \n\nFaith in Christ, and that alone, is what is asked for. That is why our church does not teach against evolution.

Coz Noah forgot to let Dino on board....(kidding)\n\nno, coz Bible is a book about relationship between human and God, not Dino with God

ask a christian or a muslim then you would know that no dinosaur was more than 6000 years old :D\nother than that i don't really know :-<

I don't really know which was first, but I would have to guess dinosaurs.  Remember, that one of God's weeks is probably not a week to us.  There are some rules on time in the Bible, and in one scripture (can't remember where it is in the Bible), one day for God is a thousand years for us.

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.

Dinosaurs were here before Adam and Eve. The bible didn't focus on the creation of the earth. Genesis focused mainly on the creation, rise, and fall of man.

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.

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.

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.

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
