The Bible’s answer
There is no direct reference to dinosaurs in the Bible. However, the Bible credits God with having “created all things,” so it is evident that they were among the things he made.

Without mentioning dinosaurs specifically, the Bible does refer to groups of creatures that may include them:

  • “Great sea creatures,” or “monsters.”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.; New American Bible.

  • “All the creeping animals of the ground.”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..

Did dinosaurs evolve from other animals?
Rather than appearing gradually as if by evolution, dinosaurs appear abruptly in the fossil record. This harmonizes with Bible statements showing that God created all the animals. For example, You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. describes God as “the Maker of heaven and earth, of the sea, and of all that is in them.”

When did the dinosaurs live?
The Bible describes sea and land animals as being created during the fifth and sixth days, or epochs, of creation. You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Were Behemoth and Leviathan dinosaurs?
No. Although these animals mentioned in the book of Job cannot be identified with certainty, Behemoth is generally identified as the hippopotamus and Leviathan as the crocodile. These identifications match the descriptions of them given in the Scriptures. (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

God told Job to observe these animals personally, and Job lived long after the dinosaurs had passed off the scene.—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

What happened to the dinosaurs?
The Bible does not comment on the disappearance of the dinosaurs. However, it does state that all things were created “because of [God’s] will,” so God clearly had a purpose for making dinosaurs. (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) When that purpose was fulfilled, God allowed the dinosaurs to become extinct.
 
kasi nga hindi naman inabutan ng nagsulat nyan yung dinosaurs at hindi pa uso archaeologist noon...

kung naniniwala ka sa dinosaur which lives million years ago...
at base naman sa bibliya, ang mundo ay about 6 to 10 thousand years old pa lang ....

what a Conflict!
 
Nice thread Papz. May kaunting mga tanong lang ako. Alin ba ang nauna?, ang dinosour o ang pag gawa ng bibliya?. Sa panahon ba ng kasagsagan nang paggawa ng bibliya may dino paba? At bakit o sa anong kadahilanan at kini claim ng bibliya ang pag create nang lahat nang may buhay sa mundo at ano ba talaga ang saysay neto? Sino ba ang may gawa ng biblya? Saan at sa kung anong kadahilanan ba bakit kailangan nang tao ang DIYOS sa pamamagitan nang buong pagtiwala sa bibliya. Pede namang bumalik tayo sa paniniwala ng mga egyptian noon o sa pagka pagano or least sa walang iniintinding may human-like creator na nagpasailanim nang lahat nang ito.
 
peke bible, anak tayo ni adan at eva pero bakit may negro at maputi, pango matangos, matangkad maliit, singkit. tapos may noahs ark pa, eh after nun namatay lahat ng tao maliban sa barko eh bakit iba iba itsura natin
 
Ang bible ay gawa ng tao,ang tao ay may ibat ibang klase ng pag iisip,kaya nga may ibat ibang interpritasyon ang bible diba?so wala talagang makaka pag explain kung ano talga ang nangyari noon,para sakin pinaka importante parin kung ano ang iyong pinaniniwalaan,nobody is perfect,ako nga minsan nalilito,bakit napaka laki ng universe at ang earth lang ang may living things,para san ba ang ibang mga planeta,marami pang mga katanungan na mahirap sagutin,pero sa bandang huli just have faith in the one who created everything,just do what you know is right and i think thats all that matters to the creator of everything
 
Wahaha ginamit pa yung revelation akala ko ba sa future yun at ano yun god created dinosaur for purpose

So kaya din nya ba ginawa ang mga bacteria na kahit anong gawin ng tao ay nag e evolved sila at nagiging immune sa bawat panguntra ng tao sa kanila

Na kung saan ang mga bacteria ay kayang mag multiply by splitting their selves (random mutation will occur) at kayang e hug ang isat isa para mag share ng mga impormasyon at immunity

Nako2 walang ibang makaka explained niyan kundi evolution lang marami akong kakilalang biologist kaya may kunti ako alam kunti lang pero kaya kung sabihin ang mga mali nyong akala sa evolution hahaha

Is the Bible a Book of Human Wisdom?

The Bible’s answer
The Bible, also known as the Holy Scriptures, does contain many wise sayings. However, note the claim that the Bible makes for itself: “All Scripture is inspired of God.” (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) There is much evidence to back up that claim. Consider the following:

  • No one has ever successfully challenged the historical accuracy of the Bible.

  • The Bible writers were honest men who wrote with openness of heart. Their candor gives their writing the clear ring of truth.

  • The Bible has one central theme: the vindication of God’s right to rule mankind and the fulfillment of his purpose by means of his heavenly Kingdom.

  • Although written thousands of years ago, the Bible is free of mistaken scientific ideas that had gained wide acceptance in ancient times.

  • Documented historical evidence proves that Bible prophecies, or predictions, have come true.
 
Is the Bible a Record of God’s Thoughts?

The Bible’s answer
Many Bible writers state that God directed what they wrote. Note these examples:

  • King David: “The spirit of Jehovah it was that spoke by me, and his word was upon my tongue.”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..

Did God create the earth in just six 24-hour days, as some creationists claim?

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.

The Bible also describes six “days” of creation. However, it does not say that these were 24-hour days. (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) In fact, the Bible uses the word “day” to refer to various lengths of time. For example, it calls the entire period of creation “the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.” (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) Evidently, these “days” of creation lasted many thousands of years.—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..

WHY IT MATTERS
The false ideas of creationists could lead you to dismiss the Bible altogether. On the other hand, if the Bible actually contains a credible account of creation, you stand to benefit from its storehouse of “practical wisdom.”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Did God use evolution to create life on earth?
“God said: ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds.’”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
God did not make life in a simple form and allow it to evolve into more complex forms. Instead, he created basic “kinds” of complex plants and animals, which then reproduced “according to their kinds.” (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) This process, which continues today, has resulted in the earth being filled with the same “kinds” of life that God originally created.—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..

The Bible does not specify how much variation can occur within a kind, as might result when animals within a kind interbreed and adapt to their environment. While some view such adaptations as a form of evolution, no new kind of life is produced. Modern research supports the idea that the basic categories of plants and animals have changed little over vast periods of time.

WHY IT MATTERS
The Bible’s scientific accuracy in describing basic “kinds” of life strengthens its credibility in other areas, including history and prophecy.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
God is the Source of infinite power, or energy. (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) This is significant, because scientists have learned that energy can be converted into matter. The Bible says that God himself is the Source of the “vast dynamic energy” that produced the universe. (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.) God promises to use his power to sustain his creation, for the Bible says regarding the sun, moon, and stars: “[God] keeps them established forever and ever.”—You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

WHY IT MATTERS
The astronomer Allan Sandage once said: “Science cannot answer the deepest questions. As soon as you ask why is there something instead of nothing, you have gone beyond science.” Not only does the Bible explain creation in a way that harmonizes with science but it also answers questions that science cannot—such as, What is God’s purpose for the earth and for mankind?
