“If you can’t beat them, join them”. I think that what on the mind of these Bible apologists when they say that you can find some references about dinosaurs in the pages of their “holy book”.
First when paleontologists discover the existence of dinosaur fossils, Christians retorted by saying that these bones were placed by Satan to deceive us to believe that dinosaur exist. Well so far so good. When people didn’t buy this cockeyed explanation, some Christian sect made stories that say God created the dinosaur together with human being, and what best reference they can show other than what was written in their “Holy Bible”.
The Behemoth
According to Christians, the Book of Job is the evidence that dinosaurs can be found in the Bible…Hmmm let us see.
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him . Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. (Job 40:15-24 KJV)
Isn’t that great or what. Lo and behold, Job is talking about a sauropod, a Brachiosaurus. Yeah right…
