It is the most dramatic and important opening of any chapter of any book: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) Thus began the world and everything in it—everything. The Bible further details the living things of the creation: “And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: And it was so.” (Genesis 1:24)
We have physical evidence of many creatures that no longer live today, including reptiles now called dinosaurs. Skeletal proof exists that several kinds were huge, plant-eating land animals. And keep in mind: God created everything, even “beasts of the earth.” Eventually, God saw fit to punish the wickedness that had overtaken the world. But he spared Noah, “a just man, and perfect among his generations and Noah walked with God.” (Genesis 6:9)
The story of Noah saving the animals by sheltering two of each kind on the ark has provided evolutionists with an argument against the creation story: That the ark could not possibly hold the huge land creatures now known as dinosaurs. However, it is logical that Noah selected the younger and smaller of the representative animals, realizing that space was at a premium and also to help keep the peace among them. Or he might selected the eggs of the larger specious. What happened to the dinosaurs after the flood, which precipitated their extinction, we don’t know, Actually they long gone before the flood. and before men were created in this earth.
A Dinosaur by any Other Name is Still a Dinosaur
In Job 40:15-19, there is a reference to what is certainly the creature we call “dinosaur”: “Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly! He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass, his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.” For this animal to be described by God as “the chief,” it must surely have been a huge and magnificent sight!
“Behemoth” in Hebrew translates as “gigantic beast.” Some, trying to relate this animal to our own experience, say it refers to an elephant or hippopotamus, yet neither of these have a “tail like a cedar.”
Elsewhere in the Bible, there are mentions of animals fitting descriptions of different kinds of dinosaurs for which we have physical evidence.
Isaiah 27:1 — “… and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.”
Jeremiah 51:34 — “… he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates …”
Psalms 74:13 — “… thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.”
Job 41:19-21 — “Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.”
Isaiah 30:6 — “… the viper and fiery flying serpent …”
Most often, these animals are referred to as “dragons,” as we see in the Bible, because there was no word “dinosaur.” Remember that “dinosaur” is a more modern term, coined in 1841 by Sir Richard Owen, an English anatomist, from the Greek words “deinos” (terrible, monstrous) and “sauros” (lizard). We may even be living with them still, in the form of Komodo dragons! Science has proven to be shifting sands, the Bible steadfast. The Lord God made us all. Period. Let us go back to the big lizards .
Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs that ever lived. Everything about this ferocious predator, from its thick, heavy skull to its 4-foot-long (1.2-meter-long) jaw, was designed for maximum bone-crushing action. Famous with his large strong mouth.T- Rex has 78 chromosomes ,Other animals who has 76 chromosomes are the Chicken ,Dove, Wolf, Dogs, Dingo,Jackal, Dhales.
It is also Amazing that the Bible ; Psalm .70;8 mentioned “Let my mouth be filled with the praise ” and many other versus of the creation of all different beasts. The quran also mentioned about the creation of all kind of beasts in earth; Quran 2;164 .
Fossil evidence shows that Tyrannosaurus was about 40 feet (12 meters) long and about 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6 meters) tall. Its strong thighs and long, powerful tail helped it move quickly, and its massive 5-foot-long (1.5-meter-long) skull could bore into prey.
He can also produces Ultra and infrasound But he wasnt able to hear the Infra sound and that made the smaller animal who can hear the infrasound to have a head start to hide and run before he can see them .
T. rex‘s serrated, conical teeth were most likely used to pierce and grip flesh, which it then ripped away with its brawny neck muscles. Its two-fingered forearms could probably seize prey, but they were too short to reach its mouth.
Scientists believe this powerful predator could eat up to 500 pounds (230 kilograms) of meat in one bite. Fossils of T. rex prey, including Triceratopsand Edmontosaurus, suggest T. rex crushed and broke bones as it ate, and broken bones have been found in its dung.
Tyrannosaurus rex lived in forested river valleys in North America during the late Cretaceous period. It became extinct about 65 million years ago in the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction.
The Bible, the Hebrew word תנין tannîn (or תנים tannîm) is sometimes translated ‘dragons’. And in one case, it does refer to one such creature suckling its young lamentations 4:3 —the word tannîn is here translated ‘sea monster’, and it may indeed have been whales that were being referred to, which do suckle their young. Could some of the dragons described in the Bible have been mammals? Yes.
Now it is true that we believe that dinosaurs in the Bible would have likely been described using that word, Tannîn= Gaint snake or lizard = dinosaur, the word tannînwould refer to a large monster of some sort, which would include some (but not all) of the dinosaurs. I.e. a monster/dragon can be a dinosaur, but not exclusively.
In day 5 in Genesis, where the King James translates the word tannîn as ‘great whales’. or monster whale . Whales are mammals. But they are not dinosaurs. Hence, tannîn or ‘dragons’, can be certain dinosaurs, or certain mammals, Could some of the dragons described in the Bible have been mammals?’ the answer would be, ‘Yes’.
The story we have all heard is that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago and therefore weren’t around when Noah and company set sail on the Ark few thousands years ago .
