Dinosaurs capture our imagination—but they also raise big questions for Christians. Were dinosaurs in Eden? On the Ark? In the Bible? How do fossils fit the Flood? Can we really trust Genesis if dinosaurs existed?
Jurassic Truth: Dinosaurs & the Bible is a 9-part series exploring dinosaurs through a biblical lens: grounded in Scripture, readable for families, and helpful for conversations about the gospel.
Use this page as your hub for the whole series. Start at the beginning, skip to the topic you’re most curious about, or share it with someone who loves dinosaurs but isn’t sure how they fit with the Bible.
What This Jurassic Truth Series Covers
This series tackles four big areas:
- Creation: When were dinosaurs created, and how do they fit into Genesis?
- The Fall and the Flood: How sin, judgment, and a global flood reshaped the world dinosaurs lived in.
- Fossils and history: What dinosaur fossils, legends, and dragon stories reveal.
- The gospel and hope: Why dinosaurs matter for sharing the gospel and understanding the new creation.
Each post is written to be:
- Biblical – starting with Scripture, not secular assumptions.
- Accessible – readable for families, teens, and curious adults.
- Gospel-shaped – connecting dinosaurs back to Jesus, not controversy.
