It's all here.
Take everything you read with a pinch of salt. We know how dogmatic scientists can be.

Did you know there may have been a reference to a dinosaur in the Bible? Check out Job 40:15 for a description of what may have been an apatosaurus.

That'd make sense since lizards never stop growing, and life spans in Biblical times were in the hundreds of years. Imagine how big they could get.

Lizards do stop growing. Life spans in biblical times were less in years than they are now as far as humans go. The biblical records in the old testament are thought to have been mistranslated between lunar and solar cycles. Therefore, the ages of these people would be over 12 times less and lizards were probably much the same in lifespan as they are now. Plus, there aren't any 2,000 year old dinosaur fossils.

I'm sure. And then we have this person saying this, and this one saying this, and so on and so on. But, I'll like, take my teachers word for it compared to yours, k? Especially since he offered literally dozens of examples, and you offer none. 
All dinosaur means is terrible lizard, anyway.

Thought I'd add another news item of interest, rather than create a new topic.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4723150.stm
Enjoy, but remember, question everything you read, especially where science is concerned.
