Dinosaur Files

Did Jesus ever ride a dinosaur?

In Conservapedia - "A conservative encyclopedia you can trust." The entry for dinosaurs depicts a person very like the traditional looking Jesus riding a dinosaur. The picture has the caption: "Biblical evidence suggests that people and dinosaurs coexisted" http://www.conservapedia.com/Dinosaur Do conservative christians really believe that he rode a dinosaur? tjreamer: Apparently it is not a parody site. As far as I can see they are dead serious. I've been looking at that picture very critically and it's beginning to look a lot like the pictures of the Lochness monster. Could it be that the dinosaur was commanded to wait in Scotland until the second comming so he could yet again be the loyal steed? dd: The reason, according to the site, that the bible doesn't mention the word dinosaur is: "Because the term only came into use in the 19th century, the Bible obviously does not use the word "dinosaur."

1. sad
2. The Bible never specifically mentions Jesus riding a dinosaur... But I'm not a young Earth creationist, so what do I know. To answer your specific question, no. They do no believe that Jesus rode a dinosaur.
3. wow...that's hilarious. I don't suppose that's actually a parody site? I can't believe conservatives are actually that stupid.
4. im not a conservative christian so yea i think he did ride dinosaurs!
5. What an amazing picture!!!!---LOL---that one takes the cake!!!!----:]
6. no...thats insane. Dinosaurs existed millions of years before humans. Please do not insult Christians.
7. "Please do not insult Christians"? With stuff like this, they're doing a real good job of it themselves. Sadly, "Conservapedia" is NOT a joke.
8. That's ridiculous. There isn't any evidence that people in biblical times even knew that dinosaurs existed. The only dinosaurs that survived extinction are the birds (and maybe Mokele Mbembe?). The Bible never mentions nor describes such beasts, let alone Jesus riding one. And that's a modern picture. Its just Intelligent Design believers trying to start a fire while underwater.
9. Not only did he ride the dinosaurs, he fixed the carbon so that the fossils would appear to be millions of years old -- to test the true believers. :-D
10. knowlege is a cursed thing but its hilarious when you twist it all around. thanx 4 opening my eyes - answer:yup
11. If Jesus rode a dinosaur the bible would have mentioned that, the bible says he rode a donkey and if the donkey is percieved as one of the dinosour then that is what he rode.
12. besides the fact that almost all of them died out millions of years ago, except the ones mentioned before and ones such as the celecamph (the fish thing) there is noway that people of ancient times could coexist nor ride and dinosaur.
13. yes, in ancient times the word "ass" was interchangeable with "behemouth" or dinosaur. so, he rode a dinosaur into jerusalem on palm sunday and he's been riding our "asses" ever since.
14. if he supposedly walked on water ,riding a dinosaur was a piece of cake
15. Jesus as born 2000 years ago. Humans first appeared about 3-4 million years ago. Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. It is therefore impossible for Jesus, or any other human, to have any contact what-so-ever with a living dinosaur.
16. no he rode a donkey
