Okay, I am very aware that Dinosaurs are in fact mentioned in the Bible, obviously they do not use the word ‘dinosaur’ since that word was not created until after the bible was written. I was just wondering, how are they explained in the Bible? How did they die?

I don’t want a bias or ignorant answer.
QUESTION CLOSED.
I got the exact answers I wasn’t looking for. I could have found that out by using google IF I didn’t already know that.

Dinosaurs were never mentioned in the bible. The bible picks up the story of earth’s history 5,000 years ago. It doesn’t mention anything prior to that.
everything on heaven and earth the Lord created them all
Read the Bible. he Book of Job is one of the oldest books in the Bible.
Read Chapter 40, Verses 15 to 24.
There is a description of animals called Behemoth and Leviathan.
Check if several of those attributes match with dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs lived at the same time as homo sapien. They got extinct after the wword-wide climate change after the great flood and fast continental drift around 4500 years ago.
Also today many species go extinct. Evolutionists should not worry bout this, because – if their theory would be true – this is the way how higher species evolve.
Here are a couple of pages that might be of interest:
“Dinosaurs and the Bible:”
“You don’t “fit” dinosaurs with the Bible!”
If you are “very aware” that dinosaurs were mentioned in the Bible, could you cite chapter and verse for us non-scholars? Behemoth probably refers to the hippopotamus and leviathan to a large fish, possibly the whale shark. Dinosaurs, they ain’t.
So far as I know,there is no mention of prehistoric animals of any sort in the Bible. Later scholars assumes that they were all drowned in the Great Flood; as far as the prehisoric fishes went … well….
First of all, reptiles never stop growing. It’s just a simple biological fact that reptiles grow all their life and never stop until the day they die. Well, look at the genealogies from Adam until Noah. People back then lived to be 900 years old, which is more than 10 times longer than the average life span today. Well, it wouldn’t just be people would it? More than likely it would be plants, animals, the whole ecosystem. If a lizard’s lifespan in Noah’s day was about 10 times longer than today (and reptiles never stop growing) then back in Noah’s day lizards and reptiles would have gotten huge! Scientists have found fossilized remains of crocodiles that reached up to 40 or 50 feet. Scientists say they are prehistoric, but I don’t think so. I think they got so big because they lived so long in the days of Noah.
Also, fossilization is caused by flooding. Scientists have found that the conditions that would be most ideal for the kind of massive fossil formations found in the sediments would be a violent, global flood catastrophe. Dinosaur remains worldwide are associated with water-laid sediment. Well, it just so happens that the bible talks about a flood like that. And it just so happens that it occurred in the days when reptiles and lizards would have gotten really really big.
So the fact that we’re digging up enormous reptiles and lizards up out of the ground, most of which are completely fossilized, this fits into the bible just perfectly.
The reason dinosaurs seem to be a problem for people of faith, is because the million year age estimates assigned to dinosaurs by evolutionists are presented to the public in such a way to where they seem to be scientific fact, when in reality they are actually quite theoretical. Not all scientists agree that dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago. Not even all the dating methods agree with those million year age estimates. And even the dating methods that do agree have been found to be very questionable and many times inaccurate. For instance, according to the Journal of Geophysical Research in 1978, new rock in the form of hardened lava flows produced estimated ages as great as 3 billion to 10.5 billion years, when they were actually less than 200 years old.
Does that sound like an accurate age estimate to you? That’s not just a minor miscalculation. That’s a major, major inaccuracy. However, when you go to the science museum, they show you a skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and say “This T-Rex lived 160 million years ago according to radiometric dating!”
Okay, obviously someone who has been very invigorated by the shade of Charles Darwin seriously believes that skeleton is millions of years old.
I’m not convinced.
You know what I find convincing? I think dinosaurs got so big because they lived so long in Noah’s day. They fossilized because of the flood waters.
That sounds much more logical to me.
Creation Scientists suspect that dinosaurs did not become extinct until about 3 or 4 thousand years ago. If you carbon date a dinosaur bone that has carbon in it, then you’ll find it to be only a few thousand years old. Well, that makes sense, because the flood occurred about 4,400 years ago.
However, Evolutionists won’t carbon date dinosaur bones, because they know carbon dating will give them an age estimate of only a few thousand years. Well, that doesn’t match their assumption of millions of years. So what they’ll do is, they won’t even bother to carbon date dinosaur bones. Instead they’ll use alternative forms of radiometric dating like potassium-argon or uranium-lead, or some other form of radiometric dating which will give them the million year age estimates that they’re looking for, based upon their pre-conceived idea of evolution.
However, these alternative dating methods were the same ones used to give a rock less than 200 years old an age estimate of around 3 billion years (according to the Journal of Geophysical Research, 1978)
