    Dinosaurs are. Cavemen probably weren't because they may not have been known of at that time.

    There was never such a thing as a Caveman, that's a myth. And the Bible talks extensively about what we today call Dinosaurs. They are referred to as "giants" or "dragons." All over the world there are drawings by man of "dragons." So clearly there was a time when animals like this lived alongside man, otherwise they would have no ability to draw such a picture. The word dinosaur did not exist until the late 19th century or so.

    Wow, ask a question concerning the Bible and get some numbskull answers. Cause and effect. Your question's funny, by the way. Cavemen, otherwise known as Neanderthals, weren't discovered until 1856 in Germany. Modern Homo sapiens (us) lived alongside Neanderthals up until as recently as 30,000 years ago, short in geologic time. Dinosaur bones have been around forever, but people just assumed they were frightening dragons and other scary beasts that were still alive somewhere, although no one had ever seen one. The modern story of St. Christopher and the Dragon emerged in the middle ages and told of a Christian knight conquering one of these beasts, but the Bible was written by monks approximately 500 years after the death of Christ. They weren't concerned with dinosaurs because they'd probably never heard of these huge bones being found. They led very insular lives.

    caveman and Dinosaurs are not found through out the Bible because the Bible records after Dinosaurs and Caveman

    Since carbon dating have been proven to be false, who is to say that cavemen were not around when the tribes were spread throughout the world. Remember Satan wants the world to not believe in a creator, he might have manipulated the bones in ways to look as if it was a caveman. Satan has no power to create, but he can manipulate. Dinosaurs well, there are statements in the bible about great creatures. Back to the false carbon dating, There might have been dinos but the flood killed them. Who knows, only God. You might want to pray and maybe the Lord will take you to some web sites and christian historians that can help you, rather than us.

    I pray that you find what you are looking for!

    The bible was written AFTER cavemen and dinosaurs existed. By 10's of millions of years at least....

    The writers of the Bible were too naive to know such things had existed. The Bible has many scientific errors. It also has glaring contradictions. Some people try to deny this, but they only make fools of themselves with overly-contrived arguments that collapse under their own sheer weight of dumbness.

    The Holy Bible is not an extensive geological or historical record of the planet but rather a record of one people's dealings with God.

    Dinosaurs and 'cavemen', not being germane, are not needed and therefore are not mentioned.

    Dinosaurs were on earth millions of years ago.

    The Bible was written 5000 years ago.

    Cavemen were descendants of Adam and Eve after they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden for sinning.

    i imagine the dinosaurs and cavemen idea are extra a clinical idea, fairly of a non secular conception. same is going for the evolution of guy, that we got here from apes. in the non secular component, we supposedly got here from Adam and Eve. technology has to have an opinion too, i guess.
