sure they were, this is clear because of the evidence we've got from geology. the bones we've found don't lie. but something you should notice, and that is dinosaurs were not all huge wild animals, they were just a kind of animals, including all sizes and all behaviours. also it is believed that some of the animals living nowadays are the children of ancient dinasaurs.

Not explicitly. But many Christians take the liberty to give a compatible meaning to the Creation story. When God made the animals of the earth in one day...some say that that includes dinosaurs and that one day in "God's time" is symbolic for a period of time that's extraordinarly long in human terms.\n\nThen again, I've also heard people who dismiss the whole dinosaur discovery thing as something the devil planted in the ground to shake people's faith.

Dinosaurs were created by a Supernatural Diety (a.k.a God) and a lot of them became extinct when the Earth became flooded almost 3000 years ago.\n\nDinsoaurs are NOT extinct; there are placed in Africa, South America, the oceans and lakes where dinosaurs still exist.

Fundies don't like to deal with that fact. You're an intelligent and insightful person for just bringing it up. Golf clap to you, sir/ma'am.\nThe reason there's no mention of dinosaurs or other megafauna in the bible is because back in the day, people couldn't deal with the idea of "prehistory". These creatures all died out aeons ago, so only fossils were left. If someone happened across the fossilized remains of a dinosaur, or even a mammoth, they'd just call it a "giant" and be done with it. (interesting fact: that's where the cyclops myth came from. The skull of a mammoth has its eye sockets set very close together, so it looks like there's only one eye. And it's big...so there ya go. :)

No, the Earth is much much older.  This is why the Bible is not to be taken literally.  If anything, we were meant to eventually point out these inconsistencies.  The truth is that the dinosaurs existed a long time ago (dragons) and were created to be just another amazing addition to life here on Earth.\n\nThe dinosaurs existed at a time when gravity as we experience it now was attenuated, and we experience much muss less of it.  This is how dinosaurs like the ultrasaur and massive bids like the teratorn were able to walk and fly around without collapsing under their own weight.

it hasnt been proven, but there are pictures out there, tho most of them are fake\n\ni personally believe that there probably once was one, but there really isnt much chance that it is still alive\n\nit was probably a decendent of some dinosaur thing\n\nso yea, id say it is, well, WAS real

I don't think dinosaurs got anything to do with it.\n\nThe earliest mention of a "dragon" is actually Assyrian, Tiamat the old earth goddess in her emanation as a sea monster being slain by Marduk the sky god.\nThe theory of a common Asian origin is much more likely to my mind, only that European dragons were not able to fly, they were also called "wyrms", which implies a crawling creature.\n\nEuropean dragons seem to have been creatures of fire and earth  and unfriendly to humans, where Asian ones are associated with wind and water, and are considered bringers of fame and fortune,\nin China the dragon was the symbol of the emperor whereas the phoenix was the symbol of the empress.\n\nMy own theory is that a common idea of a giant magical creature got spread west with the Indo-European language groups from Central Asia where there must have been contacts with Asian cultures, but got mixed with contents from the mythology of the original inhabitants of the Mediterranean region, and transformed into something different, then with the renewed cultural contact in the 17.th century got changed again, so now dragons can fly in Europe as well.

Myths? probably.\nLife? Yes.\njust because fossils aren't found doesn't mean life didn't exist.\nfossils are far and few between compared to the number of living specimens at the time.

So much info out there about your question.  Get a hold of a book by Ken Ham.......Dinosaurs and the Bible.  \n(creation scientists believe that dinosaurs were called dragons before the word dinosaur was invented in the 1800s.........)Dragons are mentioned in the Bible. It's very interesting.

Dragons exist in legend and myth and in stories. \n\nHowever, there is no evidence that dragons really existed. There is no biological theory that would lead one to expect some creature that breathed fire would exist.

Dinosaurs died 100,000,000 years ago. \nThey're gone! Get over it.

love the question it makes one think\nyour points are all valid \ni would also go so far as to say their is as much proof for the existence of ghosts /dragons /vampires etc as their is for the existence of god so i agree these questions should be asked in the mythology section \nbe prepared for some answers from angry Christians\nwith reference to the answer before mine  i have seen proof of dinosaurs [evolution ]but i have never seen gods bones \nby that logic aliens exist as  you can not prove they don't

I'm open to the possibility of animals like dragons existing.  There's just as much reason to believe in them as there is to believe in God.  Until someone can prove they don't exist, I'll believe in them.
