Dinosaurs explained biblically

Flood creationists believe the dinosaurs (presumably as young!) were probably on the ark and died out shortly afterward. The Bible mentions in several places animals which quite clearly match (i) a huge marine reptile and (ii) a sauropod-like creature with a 'tail like a cedar tree'.

Since the passage also speaks of the animal being strong in his loins, it is pretty obvious that the "tail like a cedar" is referring to it's big, virile penis.Job 4016Behold, his strength in his loins,
and his power in the muscles of his belly.
17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like bars of iron.It is not referring to a dinosaur's extension of the vertibrae which we currently call a tail.

[B]The animal mentioned in Job that we are supposed to believe is a dinosaur sleeps under lotus plants and is small enough to be concealed in the reeds (verse 21). The Jordan "surges against his mouth" (verse 23) meaning the animal is rather squat as dinosaurs go, much too small to have an actual tail the size of a cedar tree. Most likely the animal is a hippo or elephant, just as is reflected in the footnotes.[/QUOTE]

Great additions, Gene.

[QUOTE]By the way, the wording is, "Swings like a cedar tree"

Of course, the wording depends entirely upon which Bible version one quotes from.

OK, we have had a detailed discussion some months ago about the specifics and logistics of feeding animals on the ark. Nimlore, perhaps you would like to read through the thread and comment?In particular, John Paul and I had a disussion of how just how much food and fresh water two horses would have required to survive for an entire year.The thread is in the "Geology and the Flood" topic, and it's called "Animals on the Ark".Review messages #9, 15, 29, 53, 54, 55, 63 for the horse feeding discussionReview messages #58, 64, 93, 96 for general ark construction and flood myth problems.[This message has been edited by schrafinator, 11-03-2002]

Get a grip! The dinosaur that scientists have created are just as bad as Santa Claus. Dinosaurs are mentioned in the bible! Being that the word was created in 1841, you have to read between the lines. Didn't you guys learn that in school? I guess you were too caught up in learning about Dinosaurs! Duh!

Which dinosaurs were on the Ark?

Hi there, Lou, welcome.

I agree that to fear The Creator is the beginning of all knowledge.

Faith isn't really knowledge, though, but belief without evidence.

quote:

Come on now, do any of you honestly believe that there is no Creator.

I can honestly say that I do not know if a Creator exists or not.

I bet you won't tell him that.

Tell who?

Look around you!

Nature is amazing, isn't it?

Have you ever been caught out in a bad storm - walking - it is so scary.

Yes, it can be scary. This is evidence of a Creator why??

Have faith, quit being the doubting Thomas. "There is nothing under the sun that has not been here before.

How about nylon-digesting bacteria? Were thy here before? To doubt blind faith in favor of evidence is the source of all knowledge.
