dinosaurs not mentioned in the biblical, the scientists found it in rocks that have frozen millions of years ago. All I know is the last created is human than others creatures. Climate change that causes living beings to change and multiply, so that in the past human was big like giant now become small.

Hi Fulltank, The Bible is a fairly new book as far the history of the earth is concerned. Dinosaurs were here millions of years before man and were certainly not here in Bible times. Man has been here at least fifty million years and dinosaurs had disappeared millions of years before man appeared on the earth. I have read the Bible many times and I can assure you that dinosaurs are not mentioned there. Blessings.

This is an interesting question. A similar question was aked in a magazine that I enjoy reading. Here is the answer given.

? When did God create dinosaurs, and when did they become extinct?—U.S.A.
The Bible does not provide specific answers to this question. According to the Genesis account, animals were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or ‘days.’ If the Hebrew expression translated “great sea monsters” [Hebrew, tan·ni·nim'] includes dinosaurs, which often inhabited swampy, watery areas, this would mean that dinosaurs were created on the fifth “day.” (Gen. 1:21) We do not know whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth “day”). At the very latest it seems likely that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Noah’s day. Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some kinds of dinosaurs bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to lizards (sauros is, in fact, the Greek word for “lizard”; saura in Leviticus 11:29, LXX). Not all types of dinosaurs were of such gigantic size. Hence, even if they had survived till the Flood, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark. Other smaller members of the particular family or “kind” to which these belonged would have sufficed to fulfill the divine command.—Gen. 6:19, 20; 7:14.
Some of the older translations of the Bible at times use the word “dragons” to translate the Hebrew tan·ni·nim' (“sea monsters,” NW). (Ps. 74:13; 148:7; Isa. 27:1, Authorized Version) The term “dragon” (Greek, dra'kon) is found in the Christian Greek Scriptures. It has been suggested as possible that, rather than having a purely mythical source, this expression may originally have been applied to enormous creatures such as the dinosaurs, taking on mythical tones only after these mammoth creatures had long disappeared. Interestingly, many of the mythical depictions of the “dragon” strongly resemble certain types within the family of huge reptilian creatures that includes the dinosaur.

I don't know if the word "dinosaurs" were ever written in the Bible. But I know that their existence was present in the Book of Genesis...only that the literal word was never written. I think it was "beasts" they call it.

Hello Fulltank. Sure they are written of in the bible my preacher teaches that they are in the bible. I don't know the scripture but he knows where it is. He has a web site it is http://www.shepherdschapel.com/index.cfm. I have been listening to him for over 5 years but I can't remember where it is written. He answers questions after the program of teaching has ended. You can write him and he will tell you where it is written. Hope this helps you. Have a great day!

There is no mention of dinosaurs in the bible because the word dinosaur was invented many years later. There are tales of dragon like creatures in the Bible such as Behemoth and Leviathan and it's not entirely unlikely that these tales could be inspired by findings of fossilized dinosaur bones in the past. Back then they just didn't know the bones were from creatures that went extinct many million years ago and the most rational conclusion for them must've been it was bones from dragons.
