r/Christianity on Reddit: Dinosaurs in the Bible
June 19, 2021 -

I’m with family and someone brought up the question of when did god create the dinosaurs according to the Bible? We read through the genesis and it said god created Beast and other animals on the fifth day and he also created man on that day. But scientists say dinosaurs died out millions of years ago and man never lived beside them. So when exactly did they exist according to the Bible.

The bible’s purpose is not to tell us when God created dinosaurs. It’s to communicate God’s love for us and how we can spend eternity in Him because of His love.

I am a Christian and have young children amongst whom is a son who absolutely loves dinosaurs. We have read through many books about the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods; even how the earth was initially Pangea one land mass which got separated over time into the continents we have now. I personally believe that the genesis account is not to be taken literally in seven days as in 24 hours each day. Also the concept of space and time is something that is perhaps more complex than what we understand it to be. The archaeological evidence of dinosaur fossils is something I can’t dispute and even though man does not exists with dinosaurs, this doesn’t mean that the existence of dinosaurs conflicts the genesis account. ““The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭29:29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ In the things which are still a mystery maybe God might let us know how they come to be when we see Him again. But for now, even as I enjoy the knowledge of dinosaurs with my children, it is more important that I teach them God’s Words which He has revealed to us because more than just the science and knowledge of dinosaurs, God’s teachings helps us live and navigate through life in an uncertain and fallen world.

What does the Bible say about dinosaurs? Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? | GotQuestions.org
September 18, 2005 - If dinosaurs and human beings coexisted, what happened to the dinosaurs? The Bible does not discuss the issue, but dinosaurs likely died out sometime after the flood due to a combination of dramatic environmental shifts and being relentlessly hunted to extinction.

Okay, random question…does the Bible actually mention dinosaurs? I’ve heard some people say creatures like Behemoth or Leviathan might’ve been dinosaurs, but I’ve also seen others say they’re just poetic descriptions or symbolic.

ELI5:How does the Bible explain dinosaurs?
Worth pointing out that the bible is made up from texts that are about 1900 years old. Dinosaurs have only really been recognised in the last 200 years. The area in which the bible came about is not somewhere with particularly good fossil bearing geology so it's not a theme the bible ever had to deal with. More on reddit.com

What does the Bible say about dinosaurs?
It doesn’t say anything about dinosaurs. There are many many topics not covered in the Bible. “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 If something is not in the Bible, then it is not needed for faith. Did dinosaurs happen, sure. Is that important for faith, no. More on reddit.com

Actually, very few animals are singled out in the Bible for such a detailed description. Contrary to what many may think, what we know now as dinosaurs get more mention in the Scriptures than most animals!
