Apparently the center top carving has been found to be a forgery but that aside, stylized paintings and carvings are not uncommon.
These compared to whole skeletons that are hundreds of thousands of years old are poor evidence indeed.

Even the last two popes have endorsed evolution. I think it time for all Religionists do the same.

There isn't one. Christianity is in a variety of denominations with varying views on everything from Darwin to wearing hats. More general the Bible does not overtly mention dinosaurs nor deny their existence.

This is almost like asking what's Islam's view of aluminum.
They will tell you they invented it. LOL

I really don't think Christianity has, or maybe even needs, an unambiguous position on this matter.
If they do not then they should stop lying to children. I D was taken out of schools and this Dino Museum should be closed.

This leads to this.

Yes but for evil to grow, all good men need do is nothing.

The children that end up believing this lie will believe that Gays are an abomination and get in there and Gay bash.

The Islamic equivalent uses bombs. Let us all let them believe as they like. Not.

That very phrase is like fingernails on a chalkboard. If the Church declared that there weren't any dinosaurs, then they automatically become fictional and therefore not believed? I'm afraid I don't understand that at all.
Satan and demons and angels and walking on water does not bother them. Dinosaurs are small impossibles as compared to their larger lies.

The thing is most of the world's Christians are not Fundamentalists or Evangelicals in the narrow sense. (Pretty much all Christianity is evangelical, but Evangelical means something slightly different) You, and many of the Christians here, are taking a small slice of Christianity and extrapolating from that that there is an established Christian idea on dinosaurs or biology or physics or whatever. And I just don't think that's so. I doubt even the Southern Baptist Council or Lutheran Church Missouri-Synod has any documents specifically discussing dinosaurs. (I picked two groups that are officially/semi-officially Creationist)

there are monsters mentioned in the Bible, could it be that that is what they spoke of ? could it be that in the part of the world (middle east) there were no dinasours to have been seen in Biblical times. At that time im not sure the writers had any idea how big the world was, I mean, in the 15 th centurey people thought the world was flat, so what did people think in biblical times
