despite dinosaurs not being in the old testament, ancient jews adopted the canaanite myth of the sea being a big dragon type creature called something like rahag. but the dragon was killed by one of the angels and now there are no more dragons. :rage:
Not only are certain things described in Job only applicable to dinosaurs, but the Assyrians of old showed together with "normal" examples of fauna, creatures that sure do look like dinosaurs. These they seem to mix in with the other animals without thinking it the least bit odd. Could it be that the dinosaur population did not earlier die right out, but merely became near to extinction?
I'm quite sure that the dinosaurs did not totally die out with the flood because a long time after the flood, there have been many descriptions of dinosaurs. The "dragon" King George fought against may well have been a dinosaur, except that it was termed a dragon because the word dinosaur wasn't even coined yet!
With more and more people capturing and killing "dragons" for fame and wealth, it is no wonder that dinosaurs did eventually die out. Who knows? Maybe the komodo dragon is actually a dinosaur!
hehe, I read the title of this thread and had to come and post. I had a sunday school teacher that liked to theorize (jokingly) that God made dinosaurs in the beginning, played around with them like a kid would with their toy dinosaurs and then killed them off to start his real creation. So, I'll keep that as my theory until someone comes up with the truth...lol
