Were there dinosaurs in the bible?

Yes the qustion that might keep you awake all night wondering,the qustion that fuses Science with religion.For me there is enough proof to say that there was dinosaur's mentioned in the bible.The Behmoth mentioned in Job chapter 40 who'sstep's shook...

the earthand who's waslike a cedar tree.Now every evolutionest will try to tell you that this is most likely a hippo or an elephant but have you seen the tail of either lately?They look preaty flimsy to me.And I will leave the Lavithan(mentioned on Job 41:14) for you too read and think about.Until I write again this is goodbye.

I think Behemoth is a hippo!

dinosaurs and humans lived at completely different times

Behemoth means someone or some thing large and powerful - so it appears possible - the verse: Job 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

amblessed:

Your kidding me right. Dinosaurs and humans did not live in the same time period.

End of story.

no dinosaurs and humans didnt live togeher.
It says nowhere in the bible about real dinosaurs.
Lavithan was a demon supposily if you believe the bible.

thats hard. I have always wondered that.

Uh, FOSSILS dude.
Dino's are far older than humans.
It could of been a gator or some such creature, but not a dino
there's no substantial evidence supporting that

People back then also believed in dragons and sea monsters. I wouldn't rely on descriptions of behemoths and leviathans as being anything other than pure fantasy.

no
by the time humans came around
every single dinosaur was dead
long, long before we came along
and then man wrote the bible
now, many years after man have been following it theyve contantly added to it
if there is anything about dinosaurs in it
it was pretty recently added too
seeing as though we didnt even discover dinosaurs that long ago

No. There's a couple of ambiguous mentions of 'behemoths' in the bible, but not only is there nothing explicit (don't you think giant man-eating reptiles walking the earth would merit a bit more of a mention, if not in the bible then in other contemporary texts?), but geological and archaeological evidence show clearly that we were never contemporaneous with dinosaurs.

Behemoth and Leviathon are both MYTHICAL creatures. Even the writers of the Bible knew that.

None of this proves dinosaurs were in the Bible...

Behemoth is a sauropod type dinosaur. These creatures actually lived in the Congo rain forests until at least the 1980s. [Citation Needed]

You have evidence of this, I take it? Preferably some fresh sauropod skeletons?

Leviathan is aquatic but is certainly no Croc. Crocs don't spit coals of fire out of their mouths and they can be killed by spears. Most likely a species of armoured mossasaur.

Again, evidence, or are you just asserting that it's true?

Dinos did coexist with man in ancient times. Most died off after the flood and the few that survived were mostly aquatic or swamp dwellers.

And another unfounded claim. Given that this contradicts enormous amounts of archaeological and biological evidence, I really hope you've got something pretty stunningly conclusive to back this up...

As far as the Coelecanth goes, yes the family has persisted a long time, but they're not the same as they were millions of years ago. As Wikipedia points out, It is often claimed that the coelacanth has remained unchanged for millions of years, but, in fact, the living species and even genus are unknown from the fossil record.

Evolution is foolishness. The so called 'science of evolution is faulty and they are brainwashing people to believe lies so they can deny the Creator.

Perhaps you can come up with an alternate theory that describes such everyday events as antibiotic resistance in bacteria, as well as development of entirely new abilities. Whatever you think of evolution, it's an essential everyday tool in medical and biological research, and it makes accurate predictions, which is the key test of any theory.

Ah, the micro evolution vs macro evolution canard.

First, you didn't say macro evolution is foolishness, you said evolution is foolishness.

The astounding evidence that macroevolution is false is simply the LACK OF EVIDENCE.

Lack of evidence is not the same as evidence against. And there certainly is no lack of evidence for evolution, on any timescale. Here's a good start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_for_evolution

Also note that evolution successfully predicts the forms of intermediate fossils we will find _before_ we find them. It matches up with genetic evidence in populations, and allows us to predict genetic drift. The list goes on...

There is not one fossil record of a creatures alleged transformation stage.

This claim is based on the mistaken assumption that one should find crocoducks or other badly-adapted transitional forms. This simply isn't the case, and it's not what evolution predicts. Evolution predicts gradual adaptation and enhancement from simpler forms to more complex ones, but the important fact is that every single intermediate species is also well suited to its environment. The designation 'intermediate' or 'transitional' is applied after the fact, when one's examining where it falls in the history of life. When it existed, it was no more 'transitional' than modern species are.

Mokèlé-mbèmbé: meaning one who stops the flow of rivers in the Lingala language,[1] is the name given to a large water dwelling cryptid found in the legends and folklore of the Congo River basin.

Note the legends and folklore. Further, the definition of cryptid: Cryptid is a term used in the study of cryptozoology to refer to a creature whose existence has been suggested but not demonstrated scientifically.

Pointing to this as 'evidence' of living dinosaurs is about as valid as pointing to the Loch Ness monster.

Finally, linking to a creationist-propaganda website doesn't constitute evidence either. Cave paintings that vaguely resemble modern views of dinosaurs are hardly conclusive evidence of anything except an imagination.

Psalm 104:25-26

There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number living things both large and small. There the ships go to and fro, and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

Job 40:15-24

It “eats grass like an ox.”
It “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”)
Its “bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.”
“He is the first of the ways of God.”
“He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.”

the reason more evidence has not been published is due to the conspiracy of the darwinian evolutionist science and education complex which would suppress any truth that might completely shatter their agenda, an agenda that denies God on any personal level and would have a hard time re-writing all the literature they have produced to promote their unfounded theories.

Ah, right, a CONSPIRACY! Of course. Never mind that the scientist who shatters a respected theory is the one who gets the recognition and the prizes, that the reason science works is because the people that prove existing theories wrong (with actual evidence, and preferably a new and better theory that describes the world better) are rewarded with recognition. No, it has to be a conspiracy of never-seen-before scope, encompassing virtually every scientist in the world in the fields of biology, archaeology, and probably a few other disciplines too.

Got any evidence? No, of course the conspiracy is suppressing it. Enjoy your sense of persecution.

Oh, now the conspiracy encompasses every educator on the planet? This must be the biggest conspiracy in the history of the world. And yes, I'm sure your layman's observation of a coelacanth outweighs those of trained zoologists, with tools such as genetic analysis.

Seriously, if you have to resort to a worldwide conspiracy of never-before-seen magnitude to back up your point, you've already lost. Welcome to the tinfoil hat brigade.

*** Leviathan is aquatic but is certainly no Croc. Crocs don't spit coals of fire out of their mouths and they can be killed by spears. Most likely a species of armoured mossasaur.

Leviathan is a mythical anthropomorphization of a volcano.

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. Job 40:15-19 (look it up!) BTW rinocerous and elephant tails aren't like cedar trees! They are more like small branches from the tree.
