The short answer? No.

The long answer? Absolutely not.

Of course, if you like works of fiction and a good laugh, you could always listen to this moron:

Not every animal is mentioned by name in the Bible, but an explanation could be, we still have them with us. Lizards, etc. Never stop growing throughout their lifespan. If they were to live for say 800 or 900 years, as were the days of Noah, then they could possibly grow to the proportions of say a dinosaur. The large one's drowned in the flood, and /or died to the drastic climate change after the flood. Lifespan has not again been as it were in Noah's days. This is not biblical, but is totally possible. Anything is possible with God. Amen

What sort of drugs are you imbibing in? First of all, dinosaurs aren't "lizards", they are a completely different species. Secondly, the growth rate of reptiles trails off as the animal ages. For example, the American alligator will grow until it reaches ~50 years of age, after which its growth is no longer detectable. Lastly, if dinosaurs lived in biblical times don't you think they would have been written about at least ONCE in the Bible or any historical documents? They aren't.

Hello,
Just think about it, God created all manner of beast, fouls, and so on, then why not them, he had to because they exited as some point, why they are not in the bible, who knows. There are a lot of things that should be in the bible but are left out, and there's a lot of things that should not be there, such as fear, discord, closed minds and closed hearts.

Actually quite a lot of people know. Obviously, it was because the first time a dinosaur bone was correctly identified (as opposed to being thought of as a dragon bone, the bone of a giant, etc) was in 1824. Well that, plus the fact that the dinosaurs died out roughly sixty-four million nine hundred ninety-eight thousand years before the Bible was written.

The Holy Bible was not written to answer every question we may have about everything. The sole and exclusive purpose for writing it was to explain God's plan of salvation.
From the "Beginning", including the creation and 'fall' of man, to the birth, life, death and resurrection of His Son Jesus. Beyond that, some things are obvious. The very first statement in the Bible is; "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". That took a very, very long time. Dinosaurs had come and gone long before the 'first day'. It is on the 'first day' that God begins His interaction with man. It is at that point in time that He begins an explanation of His plan of salvation.

Given that the last dinosaur walked the earth around 63,998,000 years BEFORE the Bible was written, and that the first scientific documentation of dinosaur fossils occurred in 1824 C.E., it would be an impossibility for dinosaurs to be mentioned in the Bible.

You know, considering that this is claimed to be the Word of God, you'd think there'd be some mention of the struggle Noah had getting a dinosaur to fit in the boat, but nope, nary a mention. You don't suppose it could be because the Bible is just a bunch of folk tales of self-important nomadic shepherds, with a sales promotional second instalment, do you?
