What about dinosaurs? Where does the Bible place them?

First lets start from the Bible and then later on we will look at other evidence. Now the Bible says,

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:... (Exodus 20:11)

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. . . And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:24, 31b)

The Bible tells that everything was made in six days about 6,000 years ago and on the six (24hr) day dinosaurs would have been created. There are some things to consider about dinosaurs. First the word “dinosaur” was not invented until 1841 by Sir Richard Owen. The second thing to consider is there are thousands of dragon legions from all around the world. Last but not least the Bible mentions dragons 34 times.

I will point out an example in the Bible of an animal that was probably a dinosaur. Here is what the Bible says,

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. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.(Job 40:15-23)

We can see from this passage that behemoth was a large animal. He eats a lot of grass and has a large belly. His tail is like a cedar tree and his bones are like strong pieces of brass. God calls behemoth the chief of the ways of God; this is probably the largest animal God created. This passage makes it clear that behemoth made his habitat with the trees and he drinks a lot of water. I think it is clear that this passage is reffearing to a brachiosaurus. Some Bibles have a foot note under behemoth that says, “possibly a hippopotamus or an elephant.” However just look at the text of the scripture; does the hippopotamus or the elephant have a tail like a cedar? Does the hippopotamus or the elephant have the characteristics of the behemoth. It is clear that the Bible is not speaking of the hippopotamus or an elephant. There is no need to compromise a perfectly good Bible for a silly conjuncture of evolution.

Where there dinosaurs on the ark? The answer is yes. God told Noah in Genesis this,

And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. (Genesis 7:1-5)

So Noah took all the “kinds” of animals on the ark along with dinosaurs. He would not take the largest animals he could find but probably take the baby animals. Baby animals would live longer and produce more. That is where the Bible places dinosaurs also known as dragons.

Now that we have looked at Biblical evidence of dinosaurs being here with manGrand Canyon we will look at some external evidence. This is a picture that is just one of many examples of dinosaurs being drawn on the grand canyon wall. The Native Americans drew this in the Havasupai canyon. One guy is qouted as saying this about these drawings,

“The fact that some prehistoric man made a pictograph of a dinosaur on the walls of this canyon upsets completely all of our theories regarding the antiquity of man. Facts are stubborn and immutable things. If theories do not square with the facts then the theories must change, the facts remain.” p. 5 1                     Fig.2

And he continues and says,                                

“About a year ago a photograph of the “dinosaur” was shown to a scientist of national repute, who was then specializing in dinosaurs. He said, ‘It is not a dinosaur, it is impossible, because we know that dinosaurs were extinct 12 million years before man appeared on earth.’” p. 9 1

I would like to point out that this guy says dinosaurs went extinct 12 million years ago and that was in 1925. Well today people are taught that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Just because he thinks the dinosaurs went extinct 12 million years ago that does not mean people did not see them. There are thousands examples like this containing dinosaurs carved on things. An other worth will discovery to look into is the Ica stones. Here is one example of what you would see       Fig.3    on the Ica stones. Hopefully this will clear things up for most. Here are links to watch Kent Hovind's video about dinosaurs.
