We have included page numbers from the text where answers are found. Extra understanding can be gained by reading the footnotes for this section.

Purpose

The student should understand the history behind dinosaur discoveries and the word ‘dinosaur’.

Lesson

Have the student read Scripture out loud. Have student read the text, pp. 31-33, 38-39, 42-43, 47-48, 52, 132-142.

Questions

  1. Who was the first person to discover dinosaurs? (p. 31)
  2. How do we know that dinosaurs lived with people? (p. 32)
  3. Discuss the origin of the word ‘dinosaur’. (pp. 30-32; 135-137)
  4. Why isn't the word ‘dinosaur’ found in the Bible? (pp. 32, 68)
  5. What were dinosaurs called before the word ‘dinosaur’ was invented?
  6. Research the use of the word ‘dragon’ in the Old Testament. Carefully studying the context surrounding the word, try to determine which passages probably refer to dinosaurs or dinosaur-like creatures.

Conclusion

The word ‘dinosaur’ is a relatively recent addition to the English language. People living before this word was invented used various other names, including ‘dinosaur’, for the creatures we today call ‘dinosaur’. But from the time of Adam, these creatures have been part of God’s creation, testifying to His awesome power.
