my interest is in the paradox of the garden of eden that the age of these creatures turns religious timelines on their head.
My understanding is that there are only a few mentions of creatures that could be interpreted as dinosaurs in the bible, and after their discovery, were quickly shown in that light.
1.
Behemoth - Job 40:15
2.
Leviathan - Isaiah 27:1; Psalm 74:14; Job 41:1
still fairly interpretable though
