(Where did all the dinosaurs go?)
Dinosaurs have been used to indoctrinate children and adults
alike to the framework that they existed millions of years ago and never
existed in the same time period as humans.
Their sudden disappearance occurred by some cataclysmic event such as a
huge asteroid hitting the earth; may I say up front that this is totally false. According to the Bible, flying dinosaurs and
sea-going dinosaurs were created on the day five of creation and land dinosaurs
were created on the day six along with all the other animals. As such, there is no mystery as to when they roamed the earth; the Bible
chronology puts them at about 6000 years ago.
We do not find the word “dinosaur”
in the Bible because it was invented in 1841 by Sir Richard Owen and it means “terrible lizard” from the Greek (denios sauros). The Bible has many verses that speak about
dinosaurs or large animals such as “dragons”
in Psalm 74:13 and in Isaiah 27:1. How
about the animal that is described in Job 40?
No way is this a hippopotamus or an elephant;
since when do either of these animals have a tail like a cedar tree? (v17) Don’t forget the word dinosaur did not exist
then. Over the centuries and in many countries (England, China among others),
stories have been told about fire-breathing dragons just like the ones
described in Job 41: 19-21 “19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks
of fire leap out. 20 out of his nostrils
Goethe smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. 21 His breath kindled coals,
and a flame Goethe out of his mouth.”
There is no doubt that dinosaurs lived with humans and no, they were not
all killed by an asteroid.
So far, all this has been the introduction; so here comes the answer to the above question: Where did all the dinosaurs go? They simply became extinct through natural
causes such as changing habitats, deforestation, and lack of food. You know,
there still exist terrible
lizards; have you ever seen the Komodo dragon in
