The Dinosaurs History Facts in Museum; The Perception of Religious People

I am a religious person (Jehovah's Witnesses). I read the Bible daily. I've visited museums and have seen the skeletons of dinosaurs. Do I have a problem reconciling the two? Not really! Is there anything in the Bile that might be speaking of the dinosaurs? Genesis 1:21 New Living Translation (NLT) 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. Could some of these "great sea creatures' have been dinosaurs? Genesis 1:24 New Living Translation (NLT) 24 Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened. Could some of these "wild animals" have been dinosaurs? It's possible but we don't know for sure at this time! What was the original role of the dinosaurs when they were created? We don't know for sure at this time! My faith is not shaken by the discovery of the dinosaurs. We note that they are is very small creatures such as bacteria and ants and then we have the elephant and the hippopotamus. We note that some planets and stars are small and other are of monstrous sizes. It only shows the creative capabilities of our wonderful Creator. Revelation 4:11 New Living Translation (NLT) 11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”

There are some in the Bible believing community who believe that the leviathan that's mentioned in the biblical book of Job is a dinosaur. But whether or not dinosaurs are or are not mentioned in the Bible doesn't matter. The Bible is a book about God's relationship with mankind.

Here's the thing about dinosaurs. I don't care what religious people or scientists tell you, they are all just guessing. Yes, the bones certainly suggest that they exist and that they were pretty big, but we don't really have all of the facts about them. We don't really know as much as we would like to know about them. A lot of things that are written in the Bible were fabricated, possibly true, or everything that should be there, isn't there. I wouldn't go by the Bible for anything. I read a lot of books, and I mean a lot, including the Bible, some of the Koran, and some other religious, or so-called religious books, and to me, they are all just stories or possibly history of someone's culture, and I have always been told that history can be made up, fabricated, changed, or that there will always be pieces missing to a puzzle. All of these religious books don't give you the entire story.

Hello IntrovertShy, I'm one of those you called religious people (a Muslim) and I have absolutely no problem with skeleton of dinosaurs, God created everything Human beings and dinosaurs and many other things that we still don't know about them, according to scientific discoveries dinosaurs existed on the earth before human beings, and I have no problem with this, I don't agree however with the notion that the earth is only six thousand years old, simply because we don't know and no one know for sure about this. in the Holy Quran: [016:008] .....And He createth that which ye know not. [017:085] They are asking thee concerning the Spirit. Say: The Spirit is by command of my Lord, and of knowledge ye have been vouchsafed but little.

Hi IntrovertShy, All Christians don't think that the Bible is the inspired word of God. They know that the dinosaurs were here millions of years ago and long before man appeared on the scene. The idea that the earth is only six thousand years old, as some Christians claim is ludicrous.The Bible was never meant to be taken literally. Blessings.

I have broached the question of dinosaurs with christian acquaintances. The answer that I get most often is that man and dinosaurs were on the earth at the same time. This is how they dispute the age of the world and MAKE it conform in their minds with the supposed biblical evidence. We know that people and dinosaurs were not alive at the same time, but that would make the world too old for their biblical interpretations. They choose to ignore science and take every word of the bible literally.

For me yes they are in old history but in the bible they are not include because animals is not the mean reason to get you save in this system.
