What part of the Bible talks about dinosaurs?

Answer 1

The Book of Job mentions Leviathan, whom some speculate to be a dinosaur, but a more careful reading of the text shows that Leviathan was a chaos monster, with whom God had to struggle and eventually defeat, in much the way other gods of the ancient Near East defeated their chaos monsters. Another fragmentary reference to this momentous defeat of Leviathan in is Psalm 74, which suggests that he had several heads. There are other fragmentary biblical references to Leviathan, but he is clearly not a dinosaur.

The Book of Job also talks of the Behemoth, who superficially more closely resembles our ideal of a dinosaur. However, the text makes him another victim of God's might, again suggesting that he was really seen as a chaos monster. Job 40:15 talks of Behemoth being alive and eating grass in biblical times - even fundamentalists make no claim to the dinosaurs surviving the Flood.

There were thousands of dinosaur species, ranging in size from that of a house down to the size of a chicken or smaller, although we tend to focus on the extremely large species when we think of dinosaurs. They became extinct long before the time of humans, so it would be unfair to expect The Bible to mention dinosaurs, and it does not.
