September 18, 2005 - Those who believe in an older age for the earth tend to agree that the Bible does not mention dinosaurs, because, according to the old-earth paradigm, dinosaurs died out millions of years before the first man ever walked the earth, so the men ...

The Bible gives us a framework for explaining the "terrible lizards," including the mystery of when they lived, and what killed the dinosaurs.

August 18, 2025 - They existed because God made them — and they are a part of his grand design. We may never truly understand the history of dinosaurs, but we can be assured that they were created by God. They’re extinct. Theories as to how they went extinct range from the flood to an ice age, asteroid impacts, or climate changes.

June 10, 2015 - Whether you grew up with "The Land Before Time," "Jurassic Park," or "Jurassic World," our fascination with dinosaurs has continued since the discovery of fossils in the late 1700s.When it comes to prehistoric creatures and the Bibl...

January 13, 2019 - If dinosaurs had existed, they would have been on the ark—and still would have existed in large enough numbers to be documented throughout man’s history. The story of the Bible is not about a young Earth, but an ancient one that was literally impacted by the rebellion of a great archangel so many years ago.

The Bible does not comment on the disappearance of the dinosaurs. However, it does state that all things were created “because of [God’s] will,” so God clearly had a purpose for making dinosaurs.

What we cannot explain does not necessarily lack existence, but is simply another matter, among others, about which the Bible says nothing and that provides potentially fascinating questions for us to study using the fossil record and other data. We should teach our students and church members that dinosaurs did exist. We have clear evidence: we have dinosaur bones, teeth, eggs, footprints, and even impressions of their skin. Furthermore, at some point in history they disappeared. Their extinction could have taken place before, during, or after the Genesis Flood.

July 22, 2018 - Romans 5:12 says, “Wherefore, ... the plants and animals. The Bible says, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22)....

If this happened, why was the extinction selective? Why did some plants and animals, including some more fragile than dinosaurs, not become extinct? From a biblical perspective, the most likely explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs is the worldwide Flood described in Genesis 6 and 7.

June 8, 2018 - If we go back to the behemoth, Job 40:19 says: “It ranks first among the works of God.” If humans were among the last works of God, this would allow plenty of time for dinosaur extinction.

Answer (1 of 4): Biblical times? The books of the Bible have been written between 700 BCE and 150 CE. The biggest part of the OT between 550 BCE and 300 BCE. The oldest NT books are the letters written by Paul around 50 CE, the latest some letters that were not written by Paul, Peter, James, 1, 2...

May 1, 1989 - In doing so, He not only fulfilled His promise that they would begin to die (2:17), but evidently He actually changed the genetic makeup of each "kind" so that all their descendants would forever be different. He changed Eve's body structure (3:16); the plants (v. 18), and the animals, as well (v. 14). Perhaps at this time dinosaurs and other animals acquired or began to acquire body parts designed for aggression or protection.

May 8, 2024 - I don’t think it’s all that important for everyday Christians to understand how dinosaurs (and their extinction) fit into the biblical creation narrative, even though questions related to them seem to come up more often …

Answer (1 of 30): There has been much discussion on the topic specifically involving verses in Job 40-41. Job is considered to be the oldest book of the Bible. Scholars, in studying Job's longevity (he lived up to 140 years), descriptions of his wealth and household, believe he was most likely al...

May 16, 2021 - Here are some facts about dinosaurs that are not accepted as true anymore: Dinosaurs were specifically reptilian. Dinosaurs were the dominant species. Dinosaurs are millions of years old. Dinosaurs and man never coexisted. Today, Science will tell you that dinosaurs were primarily avian - some even believe that they never went extinct, only evolved into the bird population of today. Others will say that they were killed off in a global cataclysmic event like an asteroid strike, and even Christians will use a version of this theory, stating that the dinosaurs were killed off in the flood of Noah.

The Bible, God’s very special book (or collection of books, really), claims that each writer was supernaturally inspired to write exactly what the Creator of all things wanted him to write down for us so that we can know where we (and dinosaurs) came from, why we are here, and what our future will be. The first book in the Bible—Genesis—teaches us many things about how the universe and life came into existence.

November 15, 2023 - The Bible does not mention dinosaurs by name. However, several passages could be interpreted to refer to them. One such passage is Genesis 1:24, which says: "And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.'" This verse could be interpreted to include dinosaurs, as they were living creatures that roamed the earth during the Mesozoic Era.

July 19, 2023 - We should keep in mind, paleontologists did not dig up the first dinosaur until 1819. And according to World Wide Fund for Nature, 10,000 species go extinct every year.
