Re: Dinosaurs and the bible, first I don't think that the bible makes any mention of dinosaurs for several reasons. The main reason being the time frame given for creation based on literal readings and calculations of biblical texts puts the beginning of creation about 6 or 7,000 years ago. Dinosaurs go back millions of years and man and dinosaurs never inhabited the Earth at the same time. That only happened in The Flinstones or Land of the lost.

I have seen books that try to make a case for the mention of dinosaurs in the bible for instance when it speaks of great beasts etc. but that is nothing more than wild guessing.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
