..why is there no mention of Dinosaurs in the story of creation, or in the whole Bible for that matter?

Most people just go with the God plan because they 'Know' he 'loves' them.
nobody takes into account the fact the Bible is full of crap
or the fact that preists have been abusing their influence to molester children.
they claim I'ts all mans sinful fault and sit there happily leading one of the most boring existances ever.
I always, always give christians political Greif.

God dont exist pure and simple.
Much as I would love to get involved in this, I don't want to upset anyone.
I dont know whether God exists or not.
Neither do you.
That's why it's called Faith.
The End.

People just don't get what the bible is all about.
Evolution seems obvious to us in this day and age, but back when God gave stories for the bible, it would've been a concept a bit difficult for the simple farmers to grasp and it would have confused them unnecesarily.
God COULD have spent ages teaching it to them, or he could just give them the important bits of how to behave.
It's like...
ok, do parents tell their children the full details of how they were born?
No. They simplify it down to the bare essentials - baby comes out of mummy - and leave the rest until they are older and ready.
That's why it's so stupid when some people quote the bible to prove a point. The rules were written to be followed by simple people in a simple world.
In todays complex world, using these set rules is impractical and silly.
That's why people should try to understand WHY God lay down these rules, so we can work out how he'd want us to live in the modern world.
The fact that the Spannish Inquisition went around burning people because they didn't believe in God pretty much shows that they didn't quite "get it"...

You just knew it would take something like this to drag me back in here again didn't you Asher ?
Yes - as Ant stated - they are mentioned - Leviathan and Behemoth both of which are mentioned by Job and there are numerous mentions of Dragons.
There are numerous theories and the main accepted one is that whatever was left at the time was killed in the flood (what you don't believe that either ?)
There has been some very interesting discoveries recently concerning dinosaur bones etc - some of the most amazing and unexplainable through modern scientific and geoligical understanding being things like human bones together with tools and dinosaur bones being found in the same fossil layer, Native American Petroglyphs , Cave and cliff drawings in Utah and Colorado crudely depict certain dinosaur species (dated from 400 A.D. to 1300 A.D.).Ica Stones. Ceremonial burial stones discovered in Ica, Peru depict numerous species of dinosaurs, some in activities with man (dated from 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D.). Acambaro Figurines. Ceramic and stone figurines discovered in Acambaro, Mexico represent many species of dinosaurs (dated from 800 B.C. to 200 A.D.).
I'm not trying to state that everything we have ever heard about dinosaurs is wrong - but maybe they all didn't dissapear 60 odd million years ago - maybe some did survive ?
Oh - and well said Goaty - I happen to have faith and belief.

On the subject of the flood, didn't they find part of the Ark at the top of a mountain? Pretty sure they did but I can't find any references to it anymore.
Oh, and someone below was talking about explaining away the miracles. I'd like to see how they explain these - is there a link anywhere? Love to know how they explain parting the red sea!

Have you read the bible? I'd like to see 1984 fortell the things the bible has done.

Now this is something I've never understood.
And it holds true with all manner of "prophecies" ranging from Nostradamus to The Torah.
"Oooh, in the middle of it there's a code that tells you Sept 11th was going to happen" etc etc.
Why does nobody figure it out until afterwards?
You can apply the same logic to *any* information and see patterns.
