Why god created Dinosaur?

Yes yes one of those strange questions which i asked myself , why god created dinosaur ? Did they really die because of the ICE AGE ? Are dragons in fact Dinosaur ?

So i went to do some research.

"All animals, including the first dinosaurs, were created to benefit mankind in one way or another.

God's exact purpose for the various dinosaurs is still a mystery. Perhaps the larger dinosaurs kept certain types of lush plant life under control and cleared paths through the forest. Using their long necks, some dinosaurs could have eaten foliage at the tops of tall trees. In a thick forest, this would let light come down to the ground so smaller plants would have a chance to grow.

God brought many animals to Adam for his personal inspection; the dinosaurs may have been included. God watched to see what Adam thought of all these wonderful creatures. He waited while Adam made up a name for each one (Genesis 2:19). Each new animal must have been an interesting surprise, displaying their Creator's power and creativity.

Why did God invent so many different kinds of beautiful, interesting and surprising animals? Perhaps because He wanted to delight Man with His power, wisdom and love.
Part of God's purpose for creating the particular types of dinosaurs that become very large was surely to impress Man. Dinosaurs showed the great power of the Creator. No matter how big these creatures got, Adam knew God was always far greater. God designed every part of them, right down to the smallest cell. Even the largest dinosaur was like an obedient puppy in God's wise, powerful hands." Source - http://www.christiananswers.net/

Job 40:15-24
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.1Bible Commentary 15 There is no consensus from Bible translators and commentators as to what animal the passage of Job 40:15-24 is describing. Some commentators have suggested behemoth is a hippopotamus or elephant. Others have suggested the crocodile or maybe some extinct animal2 such as a dinosaur. The name behemoth, meaning gigantic or colossal beast, does not clearly identify this animal. Therefore it is necessary to interpret the word behemoth in relation to its sentence and context. This is one of the principles of Bible interpretation. It means that the context will almost always tell you a great deal about the word.11 The description given of behemoth is one of the very few detailed descriptions of animals found in the Bible. To identify behemoth we need to consider the characteristics it bears in the description given of it. Most Bible translators and commentators who have carefully considered and deeply investigated the characteristics have concluded that of all animals living today, either the elephant, or hippopotamus or river-horse, is the animal in question. On comparing the characteristics between these two, the balance is considerably in favour of the hippopotamus. But even here there are still some difficulties, as there are some parts of the description which do not well suit even the hippopotamus.2 Another animal suggested has been the crocodile. However this animal fits less the description of behemoth than the elephant and hippopotamus. If none of the three main candidates clearly fit the description of behemoth then consideration should be given to animals now extinct that may have lived in Job's time. While the dinosaur has been mentioned as a candidate for the behemoth, some commentators have rejected this possibility on the assumption that dinosaurs and man were never contemporary, according to evolutionary presuppositions. The popular evolutionary theory with regard to dinosaurs is that they became extinct about 65 million years before man "evolved". However this theory would appear inconsistent and contradictory with the biblical account of species origin. In verse 15, God says that He made Behemoth at the same time that He made man, "which I made with thee". This is consistent with the Genesis account that man and animals were made in the same day (Gen. 1: 24-27). In Mark 10:6 Jesus affirmed that mankind has existed "from the beginning of the creation", which certainly excludes the notion that dinosaurs became extinct millions of years before man appeared upon the planet. While the word "dinosaur" does not appear in the Bible, there is a good reason for it. The King James Version (KJV) was translated in 1611, before the first fossils of dinosaurs were found in 1820 and before the invention of the word "dinosaur" meaning "terrible lizard" in 1841. Most modern translations of the Bible were written by people who believe that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Notwithstanding this, the Bible does include some 37 references to dragons and 6 of these are with known animals. The Bible also has 2 references to "fiery flying serpents" that sound like ancient descriptions of pterodactyl or other flying dinosaurs (Isa. 14:29, 30:6).5 Thus, to determine behemoth's identity this commentary will look at all the animals which may have been alive in Job's day with regard to the physical descriptions given in Job 40: 15-24. The first clue to the identity of the behemoth is that he ate grass like an ox. A study of stomachs of elephants reveals they ate mainly grasses (9,148 pounds worth) rather than material from trees, shrubs or herbs, which accounted for only 1,147 pounds worth. They also ate material from reeds and sedges in swamps.8 The hippopotamus which inhabits the rivers of Africa and the lakes of Ethiopia is herbivorous feeding on grass, vegetables and roots of trees, but never on fish; lays waste whole plantations of the sugar-cane, rice, and other grain.2 Crocodiles being carnivorous do not eat grass like an ox. The largest sauropod dinosaurs were herbivorous.16 The behemoth's strength was in its loins. The word loins is mothen, which is the waist or the small of the back. The word rendered "navel" derives from the Hebrew term sharir. Scholars have suggested that the term originally meant "firm, hard," hence, denoted "the firm parts of the belly". Therefore this animal is described as a very strong animal with a muscular belly. In other words, it was very powerful in the mid-section of its body.3,10 This description does not fit the elephant whose strength is in his neck, head, and tusks, not in his “belly.” In fact, he is most vulnerable in the abdominal region.7 The sauropod dinosaur with its very large mid-section stands out as the most likely of the candidates to fit this description. The strength of crocodiles does not emanate from their "loins."17 Behemoth tails were so long, thick and powerful that God compared them to cedars: one of the largest and most spectacular trees of the ancient world. In the Middle East, there are several species of trees that would qualify for "cedar" status. Basically, any juniper-like tree can be called a cedar. However, the tree most likely referred to is the famous well-known species called "Cedrus libani", or "cedar-of-Lebanon," a beautiful and stately tree that grows in the Middle East. These trees can be quite large. The tree can attain heights greater than 40 meters with a diameter greater than 3 meters. What land creatures do we know of today that have tails the size of a cedar tree? The elephant's tail is like that of the hog, whilst the hippopotamus tail is a little 6-8 inch stubby appendage. The only creatures known to us today that had tails as big as a cedar tree were the largest of the known dinosaurs.2,12 Another clue is that the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. The word "stones" comes from the Hebrew pachad. Pach is a plate, and as a verb, pachad is to be startled or make to shake the plates on its backbone. The most recent portrayals of the stegosaurus show it shaking the plates on it's backbone in a most fearful way.618 The word "bones" is translated from "etsem", which means the body, substance. "Strong pieces" is translated from "aqhiyq", which means, containing. The word "aqhiyq" has a play on a riverbed or valley of a stream, in the sense that the riverbed is strong to hold the river. The body of this creature is a strong as brass, and would need to be if it were as big as a dinosaur. The second time "bones" is used it is "gerem", which is the skeleton. The skeletal structure of this large beast is as strong as bars of iron. Only a very large animal would need these strong bones to support its sheer bulk.10 Crocodiles don't have bones like iron bars.19 Chief is translated from the word reshiyth which means, first in rank, time, or order. Ways is translated from derek, which is a road as trodden, a course of life.10 The behemoth was the largest and strongest of all land animals.

The hippopotamus is third in line among the larger varieties of earth’s creatures, being surpassed by both the elephant and the rhinoceros. He is not the “chief” in the modern world, much less the ancient one.7 No power of man or beast could overcome the behemoth. This cannot be said of the elephant which is sometimes regarded as a docile, sagacious animal relatively easily tamed and frequently occurring in exhibitions of wild beasts. The habits of the hippopotamus or river-horse will not permit him to be tamed. Both the elephant and hippopotamus are naturally quiet animals; and never interfere with the grazing of others of different kinds unless they be irritated. The text indicates that no man could approach the behemoth with a sword. Yet the hippopotamus was hunted frequently and captured successfully by the Egyptians. Egyptian pharaohs took pride in slaying a hippopotamus. Egyptians even celebrated festivals known as "Harpooning the Hippopotamus" Additionally, Egyptian monuments frequently picture single hunters attacking the hippo with a spear. How could one accurately compare the unapproachable and unseizable behemoth with the hippopotamus?20 God alone can overcome the behemoth, and God alone could make his sword approach to him.2 The dinosaur has become extinct whilst elephants, hippopotamus and crocodiles are very much with us today. Job and his contemporaries probably saw other kinds of animals that are now extinct, eg the unicorn (Job 39:9), due to the earth's more rigorous climate and vastly depleted resources after the Flood. Imagine what quantities of food and water would have been required to feed and sustain the largest dinosaurs!20 Being a herbivore the behemoth posed no threat to the beasts of the field. While they played in the hills the behemoth ate grass and possibly other vegetation. A sauropod dinosaur with its long neck would have had little difficulty finding food from trees like the giraffe does today. The description of the behemoth's habitat being in the mountains does not fit in well with the known habitat of the hippopotamus. The hippopotamus is seldom found far from the rivers where he has his chief residence.2 The crocodile are not land-dwelling creatures; nor do they feed upon the mountains. 21 A certain habit of the behemoth was lying under the shady trees concealed by the reeds and fens. The shady trees is a translation of se'elim, believed to be a kind of lotus. Reeds and fens are found in swampy areas. The behemoth was also apparently an aquatic animal. The elephant retreats to the depths of the forest during the hot part of the day, not marshy areas. The hippopotamus stays in the deeper water, whereas the behemoth stays under the trees on the bank.9 The hippopotamus inhabits the rivers of Africa and the lakes of Ethiopia and does not wander far from water.2 Crocodiles do not venture far from water. Dinosaurs also frequented water spots.22 The shady trees cover behemoth with their shadow. The willows of the brook compass him about. This further describes behemoth as a swamp dwelling creature, which fits in well with the known habits of the crocodile and dinosaur. The hippopotamus described as a river horse, sleeps in reedy places. 23 From the mention of Jordan it is probable that the behemoth was once an inhabitant of the mountains, marshes, and woods of the land of Palestine.2 The word "drinketh" is derived from "ashaq", which means to press upon. The word "hasteth" is derived from "chaphaz", which means to start up suddenly. What is being said here is that though the river should swell with floodwaters, Behemoth is not worried about it. This animal is so huge he could drink up a river. His sheer bulk will keep him put, while the flood surges around him.10 One reason he didn't need to hurry was that his massive size insured he need not fear any animal who also would have approached the river to drink. A very large dinosaur is probably the only animal which fits this description.24 The behemoth looks at the sweeping tide, and defies it. The very narrow elongated neck and small head of the sauropod dinosaur would have enabled them to pierce their nose through snares. It is difficult to picture the elephant, hippopotamus or crocodile fitting this description. Although the behemoth was obviously vegetarian, its size was overwhelming. Its hips were built to withstand the enormous force of each pounding step and its midsection was a mass of muscle. Its gigantic tail extended far behind, not unlike a giant cedar tree swaying behind its body. Its bones were built like steel girders with ribs like iron bars to support his enormous weight. Surely this was the greatest among the creatures ever to roam the swamps and rivers of the earth. The animal that most clearly satisfies the description of behemoth would be the sauropod dinosaur, Diplodocus or Apatosaurus. The other three animals considered, the elephant, hippopotamus and crocodile, do not satisfy all the physical and behavioural characteristics ascribed to the behemoth.
