## Resource

Is it possible that dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible itself? Well that idea is a little too far out there for most people to even consider. Even those who believe in a young earth tend to believe that the dinosaurs died out either before or during the worldwide flood in Genesis, and that’s why all we have left of them today are fossils buried under layers of earth. And if you believe in an old earth then you definitely don’t believe Adam was riding a T-Rex around the Garden of Eden because those creatures were millions of years old, according to science. And yet, the book of Job describes a creature called Behemoth, which sounds an awful lot like a dinosaur. I mean, it doesn’t sound like it could be anything other than a dinosaur. It says it has a tail like a cedar and limbs like bars of iron. But wait a minute- Job takes place after the flood of Noah. Which makes a dinosaur-sighting seem more out of place than Candace Owens at a bar mitzvah. I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible.
