Dinosaurs are not important to that plan. Dinosaurs are mentioned. Not by name, but in description. And they are depicted as living. A bit of trivia for you: cats are not mentioned in the bible, but they exist. The one mentioned in Job 40 sounds like a brachiosaurus type. The one in Job 41, to me, sounds like a stegosaurus type, based on the comment about a row of shields in verse 15. Job 40:15 Now behold behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox; Job 40:16 see, now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly. Job 40:17 He hangs his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. Job 40:18 His bones are like tubes of bronze; his bones are like bars of iron. Job 40:19 He is the first of the ways of God; his Maker brings near his sword. Job 40:20 For the mountains yield food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there. Job 40:21 He lies under the lotus, in the hiding place of the reed and the marsh. Job 40:22 The lotus trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook surround him. Job 40:23 Behold, though a flood presses, he does not run away; he feels safe even if Jordan swells up to his mouth. Job 40:24 Shall any take him before his eyes, or pierce through his nose with cords? Job 41:1 Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, or hold down his tongue with a cord? Job 41:2 Can you put a reed rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a thorn? Job 41:3 Will he multiply pleas for help to you? Will he speak soft words to you? Job 41:4 Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him for a servant for ever? Job 41:5 Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens? Job 41:6 Shall your companions bargain over him? Shall they divide him among the merchants? Job 41:7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fishing spears? Job 41:8 Lay your hand on him, think of the battle; you will never do it again. Job 41:9 Behold, his hope has been made false; will not one be cast down at the sight of him? Job 41:10 None is so fierce as to dare to stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me? Job 41:11 Who has gone before Me that I should repay? All that is the heavens is Mine. Job 41:12 I will not keep silent concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or the grace of his frame. Job 41:13 Who can take off the surface of his skin; who can come to him with his double bridle? Job 41:14 Who can open the doors to his face? Terror is round about his teeth. Job 41:15 The rows of shields are his pride, shut up with a close seal; Job 41:16 one is so near to another that no air can come between them; Job 41:17 they are joined one to another, they clasp each other so that they can not be separated. Job 41:18 His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn. Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning torches, sparks of fire leap out. Job 41:20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a boiling pot fired by reeds. Job 41:21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. Job 41:22 In his neck remains strength, and terror dances before him. Job 41:23 The folds of his flesh are joined together, cast firm on him; he cannot be moved. Job 41:24 His heart is cast hard as a stone, even cast hard as a piece of a riding millstone. Job 41:25 The mighty are afraid from his rising; they are beside themselves from the crashing. Job 41:26 The sword overtakes him, but will not hold firm. The spear, the dart, and the javelin also. Job 41:27 He counts iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. Job 41:28 An arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned by him into stubble. Job 41:29 Darts are counted as straw; he laughs at the shaking of a javelin. Job 41:30 Points of potsherds are under him; he spreads sharp pointed marks on the mire. Job 41:31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment. Job 41:32 He makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be gray-headed. Job 41:33 On earth there is nothing like him, one made without fear. Job 41:34 He beholds all high things; he is a king over all the sons of pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, it's a Christian claim, I'm asking you to tell me how dinosaurs could exist billions of years ago when the earth is only a couple thousand years old.

I don't think that at all. I actually believe dinosaurs and man coexisted. I was pointing out that if God can create a man with age, He can create anything with age.
