Why the Bible never mention the Dinosaurs ?

I just wonder why there 's no account of dinosaurs in the Bible? I know it was mention that God created every animal but a big animal like a dinosaur should be easily seen by the characters of the old testament. An animal that big will surely be easily spotted. The time of Noah where they've collected pair of animals. Have they collected them? How can they've collected all pair of animals in a very short time possible?

They may have served God's purpose long before the flood and so there was no need to mention them. If they were still in existence at the time of the flood, they certainly were not taken into the ark as they don't exist now. Genesis 1:21 (American Standard Version) 21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

There were many animals and things that weren't specifically mentioned in the Bible. In the days before Noah, people lived a very long time and there were "giants" in those days, probably of various kinds. There is one description of what was probably a "dinosaur" in Job 40:15-24 and Job 41:1-2,7,12-32 I know you probably don't really want to know, but wanted to start a discussion, but in case anyone is interested, it pays to do some research.

Thanks for the links... I am really amazed by the interesting stories that the Bible possessed... I think it is one of the best fictional book ever made...

@simplfred What is it that makes you think it's fiction? Just curious.

Because they lived a lot before the facts mentioned in the Bible.

@simplfred You know, you cannot take "literally" what is written in the Bible, because if you do, there are many things that do not sound correct and good. Talking about Adam and Eve... all the humanity comes from them and their children? This would be horrible to think that we are all issued from incest.

Maybe that is the case... Adam and Eve even it is stated that God created the world in 7 days. 1 day might means a million years.

I think you can say that is a big dinosaur mystery. As for Noah - how in the world could you ever get two dinosaurs in a ship I don't care how big it was. There are some interesting things written about this online.
"The Bible begins with a statement that is so simple a child can understand it, yet so inexhaustibly profound: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” —Dr. Jeremy Lyon, "Genesis: Paradise Lost." It is the most dramatic and important opening

But the story of the Bible started everything in the very beginning... Adam and Eve must have met them... Else one believe in Evolution Theory but not in the Bible...

The Bible, the Old Testament anyway, is basically a history of the Hebrew people and the Hebrew people arrived on the scene tens of millions of years after the last dinosaur became extinct. As those people were not scientists, they were too busy just trying to survive, even if they had found fossils of dinosaurs they would not have understood what they were looking at. Keep in mind that the "7 days of Creation" is actually an English mistranslation of the ancient Hebrew. What is actually written in Chapter 1 is there were 6 periods of creation and humanity - both male and female - appeared during the last period. No one really knows how long each period was, since they were measured in God's time not human time. Most Biblical scholars who have studied the oldest available writings in Hebrew and Greek agree that the creation story and the flood story in Genesis are allegorical rather than literal and were used to explain what happened in the time before Moses and the Exodus to people with no science and little understanding of the world around them. The flood story may even have been used to explain the concept of mass extinction-of which there have been at least 3 in Earth's history.

Behemoth and Leviathan are mentioned in the Bible.
Job, Psalms, and Isaiah mention Leviathan and Behemoth. Were they dinosaurs, myths, or just poetic symbols?

Maybe D was newly created hehehehe not yet born during Noa's time. No D mentioned as among those animals that entered Noa's ark.

There are links posted by our friends here that might say a proof but maybe the bible doesn't have a name of that kind yet.

I think you already got some answers. The dinosaurs no doubt existed one time. I went to my favorite online library and found this site..

for one thing,most skeletons are buried deep..sometimes embedded in rock.. for another,if they happened to stumble upon a piece in that time period they usually thought it was a monster or something equally as out there.

Well, Bible is for salvation. Dinosaurs are cool now, but if people often see them back then, well, common view.
