So if God created all the animals over the course of a few days, why doesn't the bible mention dinosaurs?

And slow your roll those of you who are already about tell me about Leviathan and Behemoth.
There are very good arguments why those are not dinosaurs and very few good arguments that they are dinosaurs.
More importantly, they are mentioned as one offs. Single entities while dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes covered the planet.

If men lived alongside dinosaurs (at least until the flood) why are these awe-inspiring beasts not mentioned at all while goats and sheep and vultures and lions get mentioned all the damn time?

and why do so many claim the big flood was the first time it ever rained???
the bible does NOT make this claim. hope to hear from many on this point.

@1490wayb so, if the bible did make that claim, would it then be true? Asking for a friend.

@Kumbayakid i would lean towards believing if the claim were made yes

@1490wayb what if the bible told you to send all of your money to me? Would you think that was reasonable?

1490wayb · 56-60, M

@Kumbayakid of course not, the bible contains much paradox, hyperbole and metaphors

@1490wayb all literary devices employed in works of fiction, great and small. The Bible is a beautiful and magnificent work…of fiction.

@1490wayb Suppose it was written in the Bible that 2 + 2 = 5?
