I'm only an elementary science teacher.

Here is my theory:
All 2 legged "dinosaurs" are really birds.

1. Scientists have confirmation bias assuming evolution is real and therefore reptiles and birds can mix (despite not being observable today.)
2. Scientists call every ancient animal a dinosaur.
3. No reptiles today are 2 legged.
4. 2 legged dinosaurs build nests.
5. 2 legged dinosaurs have feathers.
6. Chickens came from "dinosaurs."
7. 2 legged dinosaurs are carnivores.
8. The little arms make no sense.

Tell me why I'm wrong. 😂

May I suggest a visit to Creation Ministries International (CMI) and avail yourself of all their on-line resources.

"22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...."
Romans 1
 
If I still think it's important when I get to Heaven, I'll ask God about it.

In the meantime, as Sherlock once said, it doesn't make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Same with aliens, ghosts, the illuminati, the size of the universe and all similar questions I don't know the answer to but can't do anything about.

Seriously, though, I believe Lanolin is correct. There were dragons and animals in the bible that meet or exceed the description of "dinosaur". However, when looked into, there is very little evidence for many of the dinosaurs pushed by scientists in popular culture. It wouldn't surprise me much to later learn that many or all of the so-called dinosaurs are frauds.

I agree about the deception and fraud within the academic communities. There are universities that teach that mankind was once an ape. They display fake skulls, bodies, and histories of entire groups of people from the tooth of an extinct pig, for example. This was disproven by secular research generations ago, yet the lie continues because it's a deceptive agenda. Much deception certainly surrounds the dinosaurs as the love of money plays a role as do the beliefs.

In the last chapters of Job, God describes features of 2 giant reptiles. One is a giant reptile that has been labeled by far more recent generations, dragons. They were likely hunted into extinction. If these creatures existed, does it seem unreasonable that other kinds also existed?

There's a LOT of proof for the existence of extinct botanicals, arthropods, reptiles and various mammals. The Great Flood explains how conditions were right for rapid deposition of mineral slurries under immense pressures. Most reptiles were small to medium sized, while the exceptionally large ones get all of the media attention. Going by the biblical genealogies, we Christians believe them to be approximately 6,000+ years old.
I suspect that the religion of macro Evil-utionism is what Paul warns Pastor Timothy about, "science falsely so called ."
True science is a methodology that does not exclude the existence of The Creator or incredible examples of His creation, as provided in intricate details in Job chapters 40-41.

What people have done to prop up their religious beliefs of Evil-utionism is what the Eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism have done. I coined the term Evilutionism to point out the facts that...

A. Evilutionism:
Macro-evolution is literally "macro" = large, dramatic, major
"evolution" = change
This is a religious dogma based on ancient eastern religions that reject our true God and Creator of the universe for cheap fakes, demons and their deceptions.
This is why I coined the term, to point out that Macro(major) changes from one kind of living organism to another one that has no ability to interbreed, is fiction. It's so ridiculous that the science text books teach young impressionable children from the time they can read, that giant reptiles lived umpteen quadrillion zillion years ago (whatever they make up) and T Rex turned into a chicken. The demons must be laughing at humanity for believing such outrages claims they told them through their unholy priesthood of scientists and teachers.

We do see changes because God designed every living organism with the genetic materials for changes to occur depending upon environmental factors and diet. We should never mistake micro evolution with macroevolution.
Genetic expression is influenced by many factors that help with the survival of the organisms in various locations and presented with various habits. These are what is called "micro" evolutionary changes. This is reality and the science of genetics and true biology.
The other was a diabolical religious view from thousands of years ago, revived through Charles Darwin and his cousin Francis Galton in the 1800s influencing the fields of physical sciences today. I often add the "ism" to emphasize that it is a faith based religious view rather than a foundation of science. It has nothing to do with the scientific method whatsoever.

B. Evilutionism; The Devil deceives the world with his "evil" (diabolically harmful) science falsely so called system that convinces populations that exclude God. It has successfully turned unknown billions of people away from the true and living God Who gives us life and all things. It is a belief system that justified selective breeding of humans and slaughters them like chickens, ie Francis Galton father of Eugenics. Hitler and Margaret Sanger carried out this philosophy towards the end of WW2 and later with what received hundreds of millions of tax $ to kill innocent babies through the Birth Control League, later named changed to Planned Parenthood. Today I remind Christians and unbelievers that the hospices and hospitals continue this dark tradition by putting down innocent adults in their "care" like dogs in a pound.

The Devil has used an effective technique time and again to carry out his wicked agenda.
The topic of dinosaurs, aka extinct reptiles, is strangely, and strongly connected to the murder of a large percentage of humanity.
To Hell with the demons that continues to slaughter humanity through their willing servants.

Yes. This is what I referred to when I stated "There were dragons and animals in the bible that meet or exceed the description of "dinosaur"." The typical dinosaur pales in comparison to leviathan, imho. Or a creature with the traits of behemoth (i.e. not a hippo or elephant, lol!) I'm not sure they were hunted to extinction - it might be possible they still exist... I'm probably more open-minded on this than many. :)

True science is a methodology that does not exclude the existence of The Creator or incredible examples of His creation, as provided in intricate details in Job chapters 40-41.
This is really what I was hinting at, and what is not thoroughly explained by Creation Ministries, in my opinion. If you scrutinise the origin of dinosaurs, its very lacking in the scientific methodology. If the evidence is there (as it is for behemoth and leviathan), I'm happy to creatures such as tyrannosaurus and triceratops existed. But my argument is really, the evidence hasn't been demonstrated to me to a level I'm convinced dinosaurs were real. (This is different to dragons - to me there is evidence of dragons or something like all over the place). Link below is to a non-Christian guy, so he should not be followed for theological matters. However, I think his understanding of the scientific method and lack thereof for dinosaurs in general is sound.


Again, I'm happy to accept the evidence if its there. But in most (even all) cases, there are a couple of bones and a whole skeleton is reconstructed, and hidden away where scientists can't examine it? That seems too much to me - or too little to accept on faith.

There are certainly a lot of examples like that of the entire animal reconstructed from a few bones. I listened to the video and agree about the love of $ being a major incentive during the Bone Wars if the 1800s.
I .like that he used the term evolutionism, also acknowledging the fact that the theory of evolution is a religious/philosophical system.
The thing I disagree with is his insurance that there is no evidence of dinosaurs prior to the museums in the 1800s.
It seems reasonable to see that the two owners of them fabricated more than they discovered, kind of like Joseph Smith. There are a lot of independent and unrelated sources that described through artwork and historical documents the existence of dinosaurs prior to the term dinosaur in 1841.

Like you said of the video you shared, I too caution that I don't agree with everything Kent Hovind says. This is a pretty good lecture at a Bible College in Hammond Indiana. He described creation and the Great Flood in the first half hour. Around the 30 minute mark forward, he starts providing reasons for giant reptiles that used to be called dragons. I don't believe that they all shared the same lineage as there were art pieces of many types. However in writings, the term dragon was frequently used much like dinosaur is since the public schools began.

 
I remember listening to Theodre Epp of Back to the Bible Broadcast many years ago, tell of his boyhood days in Nebraska. He had discovered footprints of both dinosaur and man embedded in rock together. He later showed it to an evolutionary geologist. Sometime later when revisiting the site, he found the human footprints smashed to pieces.
This reveals two things. Man, and dinosaurs co-existed together and that some evolutionists will go to all sorts of lengths to protect they point of view.

That's a real shame.
This is a major find that shoots down the evolutionary hypothesis.
Here it is in the news. I don't agree with the age the news reported.

I am thinking that there is at least one 'leviathan' left in the world...

Isaiah 27:

1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
