    Many say that the dragons mentioned in the Bible are the dinosaurs that we see fossils of. The dinosaur sizes that we can see from fossils are huge for some of them. The Bible does not say anything about 20 or 30 feet tall creatures roaming the earth and eating people does it? If they were co-existing then don't you think it would recorded in the Bible somewhere?

    Here's a question asked about this:

    When did God create dinosaurs, and when did they become extinct?

    The Bible does not provide specific answers to this question. According to the Genesis account, animals were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or ‘days.’ If the Hebrew expression translated “great sea monsters” [Hebrew, tan·ni·nim′] includes dinosaurs, which often inhabited swampy, watery areas, this would mean that dinosaurs were created on the fifth “day.” (Gen. 1:21) We do not know whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth “day”). At the very latest it seems likely that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Noah’s day. Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some kinds of dinosaurs bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to lizards (sauros is, in fact, the Greek word for “lizard”; saura in Leviticus 11:29, LXX). Not all types of dinosaurs were of such gigantic size. Hence, even if they had survived till the Flood, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark. Other smaller members of the particular family or “kind” to which these belonged would have sufficed to fulfill the divine command.—Gen. 6:19, 20; 7:14.

    Some of the older translations of the Bible at times use the word “dragons” to translate the Hebrew tan·ni·nim′ (“sea monsters,” NW). (Ps. 74:13; 148:7; Isa. 27:1, Authorized Version) The term “dragon” (Greek, dra′kon) is found in the Christian Greek Scriptures. It has been suggested as possible that, rather than having a purely mythical source, this expression may originally have been applied to enormous creatures such as the dinosaurs, taking on mythical tones only after these mammoth creatures had long disappeared. Interestingly, many of the mythical depictions of the “dragon” strongly resemble certain types within the family of huge reptilian creatures that includes the dinosaur.

    Same with you. When his are filled with reason, truth, and logic, yours are filled with lies, denial, and delusion.

    It's funny because they have to accept that they either:
    1.) Think humans and dinosaurs co-existed.
    2.) Admit their precious bible is wrong.
    3.) Come up with extremely lame reasons on how they have proof that's not what the bible meant. (Even though it's clearly stated)

    Your soul is your life. Once you life ceases to exist, so then does your soul.

    Really. The notion about Heaven being skyward is only due to the status of Heaven being higher than all things. It is figurative.

    Because there is no such thing as a soul. Honestly do I need to explain this? You can't scientifically prove it, nor is there anything thing to even SUGGEST it being real. WTF is wrong with you people..

    There is nothing to prove that it exists or does not exist. I only ever quoted from what the Bible says. Swearing is not going to achieve anything either. Why are you getting angry over this? :rolleyes:

    wow we can stop arguing about this. It seems like neither of you are accepting the other's view.

    The Mosaic Law that you are quoting from, although we can still apply literally the 10 commandments, does not apply any more. The new covenant set by Jesus has replaced that law. The stoning and killing people mentioned in those verses only applied up until Jesus stated what the new law is in the Gospels.

    Oh! By the way! According to the Bible (don't want to be accused of lying here);)
