1 | Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? | Job 3:8 | Makarios | 3774 | ||
I have undergone a study on the Dinosaurs. What does the Bible say about them? First, I want to make clear that I believe that the earth is only thousands of years old, not millions or billions. Second, I believe that God created the earth in six 24-hour days (Exodus 20:11). I don't expect you all to agree with me, and I would appreciate you tellng me if you feel differently about anything that I have come up with. Genesis 1:21-25 tells us that God created the animals (including the Dinosaurs) and humankind on the sixth day. Man was given the task to name these animals but Adam used names like 'behemoth' and 'leviathan'. It is conceivable that man and dinosaur lived on the earth together right up to and after the great worldwide flood. And Noah might have included a few smaller, younger representatives of the dinosaurs in his Ark. But many other kinds of plants and animals were lost forever (Genesis 6:17). It is interesting to note that animals began to fear men only after the flood (Genesis 9:2-3).. However, I am convinced that there was a drop in temperature (Job 37:6-10, 38:22,29) in the earth after the flood, which explains the existence of Antarctica, the Glaciers and the Polar icecaps, (which was God's way of dealing with the surplus of water that sprang forth in Genesis 7:11) and this temperature change may have contributed to the dinosaurs' disappearance upon the earth. But they at least were around by the time of Job, and the people of Job's time knew about dinosaurs since dinosaurs are discribed in detail in Job 40:15 to 41:34. I do not believe that birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs, since the Bible speaks of the migration of the hawk (Job 39:26), the dove, stork, thrush and swift (Jeremiah 8:7).. In other words, birds flew across the earth from the beginning of time and they are not the end result of any kind of evolution. Also, Genesis 1:29-30 declares that all animals and people began as plant eaters and the world was entirely vegetarian at the beginning. But eventually animals became carnivorous and people ate meat only until after the flood (Genesis 9:3). It is interesting to note that even though animals did become carnivorous, they will return to a nonagressive nature (Isaiah 11:6-7). So will we become vegetarians in the future? :) So did the dinosaurs breathe fire? Job 41 leads me to believe that this may have been likely, which would explain the source of "Fire Breathing Dragons" stories. What about the Loch Ness monster? Maybe. There are many underwater caverns that have not been explored on this earth. I'm not ruling out the possibility that all sea dwelling dinosaurs are extinct. But I am strictly against evolution of any kind, since Psalm 94:9 clearly states that God formed the ears and the eyes. Romans 1:20 is interesting in this light- that we are without excuse in wake of God's awesome creation. Another water/fire parallel here, to reflect back on the worldwide flood, is the second and final judgment of the future in which the heavens and the earth will be cleansed by fire! (2 Peter 3:10-12). I believe that the world is a lot younger than scientists think and that man and dinosaurs co-existed at some point. I am still studying continental drift and things of that nature.. I hope you enjoyed the results of my study, and I wanted to share this with you to provide a NON-evolution way of looking at Dinosaurs. |

Hi, Nolan. The Leviathan of Job 3:8, Psalm 104:26 and Isaiah 27:1 has been seen by some students of the Bible as possibly being of the dinosaur family. Beyond that, the best I can do is recommend a superb Web site that I believe you will find helpful and absorbing now that you're "in" to the creation story, the Noah's flood story and all the flora and fauna of that epoch. Try icr.org. I won't elaborate further except to say I recommend this organization without any reservation. They too believe in the young earth idea and, believe me, have lots and lots of good information on dinosaurs! If you want more on this organization, e-mail me by all means. Yours in Christ. --Hank | ||||||

So if you believe the earth is only "thousands of years old" LOL, how can they carbon date bones back millions of years. Are you perhaps trying to say that it is a big conspiracy by "NON-BELIEVERS". Or maybe because it dispells everything you hold dear and are brainwashed into not wanting to know the truth |

Hank, please forgive me, sorry for what i said. But could you tell me why should we believe the word of this bible and not the word of another religion, say the "Geeta" of the hindu religion or the "koran" of the muslims. Their bible has their own gods, are you saying that they are lying and their beliefs are wrong. |

zico82 - Jesus settled the questions you asked when He said "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" [John 14:6]. ..... Do you believe Jesus, zico? Do you trust Him? Are you a Christian, zico? --Hank ........ P.S. Apology fully accepted and forgiveness fully extended. | ||||||
