What does your religion say about the dinosaurs?
I don’t think anyone can argue that the dinosaurs existed. But does religion talk about them as being on earth before humans?
What does your religion say?
All religions welcome to comment. Please state your religion.
I have no religion so I don’t fit the remit of the question.
It doesn’t say anything about them.

The bible talks about dinosaurs. They were called, "Dinosaurs" since that term was not used then.
But they were around with humans.

Why do people ignore the T-rex w/ soft tissue, which absolutely SHATTERS the idea that dinosaurs could be millions of years old? It is impossible for soft tissue to last millions of years in a "soft" state, particularly given that it wasn’t frozen.

My religion is about Jesus and treating other people the way you would want to be treated. It has nothing to do with dinosaurs.

Sorry, if this is what Christians believe then, well, how do you expect me to take you seriously?

The official stance of the catholic church is that the Devil planted the fossils there so we would start doubting in our faith.
When I heard that THAT is their explanation I stopped being catholic.

Theres imagery of man and dinosaurs in some of the earliest prints and cave paintings, this suggests that man and dinosaur could have been alive in the same era. The almost identical resemblance of these, to known dinosaur species makes it pretty plausible that dinosaurs and man were around in the same time. People theorize that the several references to "dragons" in the bible may actually refer to dinosaurs.
As for being on earth before man, didn’t the bible mention all animals being created before man?

Genesis 6, 4: "There were giants on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children, they were the great men of old days, the men of great name."
Giants were surely… referred to dinosaurs.

As far as I know, my religion did not say a thing about dinosaurs but they (the dinosaurs) are still present today, with the crocodiles’ and chickens’ presence! =D

The word "dinosaur" was not coined until 1841, so I would be very surprised if any of the world’s major religious texts mentioned them.

My religion tells me to shoot them on sight. Especially those raptors… According to Rev. John Hammond and Dr. Sam Neil, they can open doors now. If we do nothing to stop this dangerous dinosaur infestation, soon raptors will be more commonplace than the cockroach.

In Job 40:15-24 and Job 41:1-34, 2 creatures are described, the behemoth and the leviathon.
If you read the descriptions, don’t they sound alot like dinosaurs?
I believe that dinosaurs were around with people but were mostly destroyed in the flood.
Read it, here it is.

well when noah got the message off god about the flood he told him ‘ DO NOT TAKE DINOSAURS AS THEY ARE TOO BIG AND ANGRY’!!’ so he took every other animal 2 by 2 and let dinosaurs get washed away in the flood…then he ate an apple…or something…then gave birth to the son of god..but he had never had sex so it was like a miracle!"!!

There have been five major extinction episodes in earth’s time. Dinosaurs being one of them 245 million years ago. I dont think any religion talks about this as in my opinion religion has been invented by man before we knew these facts. athiest

I don`t think it specifically mentions them but I believe them to be just another in the long list of amazing creatures that have inhabited our earth.
