Dinosaur In Bible

Some people believe
that the Bible is not a scientifically exact book,
and that it is only a “spiritual |
|
| |
book,”
that forgot about dinosaurs or describe them mistakenly.
This is not the case.

God created dinosaurs, just
as He created man. Evidence indicates that dinosaurs
were wiped out by |
|
| |
the flood. Did
Noah take dinosaurs on the ark? The Bible tells
us that Noah did what he was told, so that indicates
that he did indeed bring dinosaurs on the ark.
Some species of dinosaurs were quite aquatic,
and would not have needed to ride on the ark.
As for the others, Noah probably selected young
dinosaurs. He would have done this for two reasons:
young dinosaurs would be smaller, and thus more
suited to life on the ark, and they would also
present the best choices for being able to replicate
after the flood. Why did they then die after the
flood? Possibly due to the scarcity of the foods
that were previously staple nutrients for the
dinosaurs.

One of the oldest books of the Bible – Job
– mentions creatures that were most likely
dinosaurs. The book of Job was probably written
around 2,000 years before Jesus was born. The
Bible's best explanation of a dinosaur-like animal
is recorded in Job chapter 40.
"Look at the
behemoth, which I made along with you and which
feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has
in his loins, what power in the muscles of his
belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews
of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes
of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks
first among the works of God..."(Job 40:15-19)
the behemoth was not afraid. They did not need
to be; they were huge.
Dinosaurs did exist. They did not progress over
millions of years, though. They sprang all of
a sudden onto the planet, possibly on the same
day during which God created man. Dinosaurs became
extinct almost as suddenly. Evolutionists who
insist that dinosaurs evolved cannot support that
claim, as there are no transitional forms (fossils
that show one species changing to another) to
submit into evidence.
