Are Dinosaurs in the Bible?
The word "dinosaur" is not found anywhere in the Bible. This is because the word "Dinosaur" was not invented until the mid 1800's. The "King James Bible" was translated into English in 1611. - So we would not expect to find the word "dinosaur."

Biblical description of dinosaur?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God starts by telling Job about the small animals that he made. He then continues to describe the other animals, each bigger and stronger than the one he previously mentioned, until finally in the concluding chapters God tells Job about the biggest animal that ever lived. A dinosaur called the "Behemoth"
Job 40:15-24
"Behold now the Behemoth, which I made with you. He eats grass like the ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moves his tail like a cedar tree: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are like 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.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed and fens (a swamp or marsh). The shady trees cover him with their shadow: the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold he drinks up a river, and hastens not: he trusts that he can draw up the Jordan River into his mouth.
He takes it with his eyes, his nose pierces through snares"
Hmmm, don't know too many animals other than a Dinasaur this would describe.

What kind of animal is the Behemoth?
Some commentators have suggested that the Behemoth could be a hippo, or an elephant. But both of these suggestions ignore the physical description of the Behemoth given in the Bible.
Hippos and elephants have very short tails. The Behemoth described in the Bible had a tail so long and so strong that God compared it to a cedar tree.
The Behemoths tail was as long as, and as strong as the trunk of a tree. Yet it could easily bend like one of its flexible branches.
This description fits no living animal. - This does not imply that the behemoth was a mythical animal, perhaps it is just an extinct one.
Cedar trees were on of the largest and most spectacular trees in the ancient world.

I'm starting to sound like a bible thumper, lol. It is just that there is so much evidence that Dr. Kent Hovind put forth in this series of videos he produced, I was convinced.

Should see the stuff on how the grand canyon could have been formed in a few days, using what happend with Mt. St. Helens as an example. Cool stuff. I'm tired and rambling. You either believe, or ya don't. That simple.
