Why is the word ‘Dinosaur’ not in the Bible?
Because it is a new word, that came about in 1841, coined by Richard Owen. It means ‘terrible lizard.’
The names of these large creatures are found in Scripture. Sometimes they are used in comparison/reference to a ruler or country, but keep in mind they wouldn’t be used if they didn’t exist.
Some Bible translators and note writers incorrectly translate into words like hippopotamus, crocodile, or elephant.
They (Dinosaurs) were created on the 6th day with man around 6,000 years ago, not millions of years ago. And yes, they were on the Ark!
