The Bible does mention Dinosaurs. The punishment for the serpent who tempted Adam and Eve was to crawl upon its belly from that point on. That would imply serpents had legs before this point. So, the original serpent in the Garden of Eden was a dinosaur that was turned into today's snakes after the Fall of Man and expulsion from the Garden.

And if fish had feet, they'd be mice. Really, you guys just make this stuff up as you go along, right?
There you go making the fundy mistake of "kinds" (which we all know is based of of a quick glance zoomorphical features) and FAIL when it comes to species.
Now I know why you are trying to change the story around. Because saying the serpent had legs sounds silly, and adding dinosars into the story makes it sound like it has credence.
Only if you arbitralily alter the definitions of "snake","dinosaur and "reptile"...... and we all know that Creationists don't do that !
(Note the last bit was sarcastic )
I'd be mad at this, but the thought of a Bronotsaurus or Apatosaurus moving around on the ground like a snake is just too funny.
Nice to see someone try a new approach other than the old leviathan, even though this proves NOTHING about Dinosaurs being in the Bible.
Right, because dinosaurs are the only others creatures with legs.
It's just a stupid, ancient fairy tale, Twinkie. Now get back to stuffing those envelopes.

Dinosaurs and snakes look similar? I see your point, but it would be a pretty drastic change to turn all dinosaurs into snakes. Seems more likely that, if the crawling was the only change mentioned (Remember, the bible is 100% accurate. God said so in the bible.), it was probably the only change that occurred. In which case, the serpent would have been more like a really long lizard.
So...if snakes were dinosaurs before this point ho would you account for the bajillions of dinosaur fossils we have found. I'm no Genesis expert but I don't think there was a whole lot of time between the whole blowing into dust and teh rib thing before eve ate the apple. So, there were millions of dinosaurs at one point but only two humans? God was busier with the dinos then just said fuck it and turned them all into snakes?
Can you possibly be that fucking stupid?
Let's think about this. Not a damn thing had died before the apple was eaten. In fact, not a single living thing God created died before God rendered judgment on the serpent. If the serpents were dinosaurs, then we'd find zero dinosaur fossils because they would have all become snakes before they died.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
