Scripture reveals that God created all creatures—visible and invisible, great and small—and continues to sustain them all.
Scripture on Dinosaurs
Job 40:15-19
Old Testament
"Look at Behemoth, which I made just as I made you; it eats grass like an ox. Its strength is in its loins, and its power in the muscles of its belly. It makes its tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are knit together. Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like bars of iron."
Genesis 1:24-25
Old Testament
"And God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good."
Psalm 104:24-25
Old Testament
"How many are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures both large and small."
Colossians 1:16-17
New Testament
"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
The Bottom Line
Whatever roamed the earth in the past was made by God's hand and subject to His design—He alone holds all creation together.

Prayer
Jesus invites us to come to Him with our questions and wonder (Matthew 11:28).
Father, I'm amazed at the vastness and intricacy of what You've made. Sometimes I have more questions than answers about creation—about how things fit together, about what existed long ago. Help me trust that You are wise and intentional in all You've created, even the parts I don't fully understand. Give me a humble heart that worships Your power and creativity. In Jesus' name, Amen.
