"?Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feed on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God...? Job 40:15-19
Some people say that this description is of an elephant or a hippopotamus, but they do not have tails like the thick, massive trunks of cedar trees!"
The description doesn't say its tail is the size of a cedar tree, just that is sways like one. Matches an elephant quite well...
Actually, the word "tail" in this context is a pseudonym for "penis".

Re: ...

The Flood remember? The flood did the whole quick burial fossil thing.And kept them mineralized.It fits within the 6,000-10,000 yr framework...
So, if the flood buried all of the fossils who we see them today, then why is it that we never see flowering plants below a certain layer?
Why don't we see, say, elephants and triceratops in the same layer, because they are roughly the same size and density?

No because Evolution is a theory remember not fact.
Yes, just like the Germ Theory of Disease, the Atomic Theory of Mattter, and the Theory of a Heliocentric Solar System are all scientific theories.
Theories are products of facts...theories are explanatory frameworks that scientists use to explain why the facts appear as they do.
Scientists didn't start with the Theory of Evolution, the facts they saw in nature led them to develop and accept the ToE as the best explanation for those facts.
The thousands and thousands of specific predictions that the theory inspired have been borne out, including the very important one of genetic trees of life matching amazingly well with the morphologic trees of life.
Remember, Darwin and his contemporaries didn't know anything about DNA.

And although alot of it is science..Another bunch of it is frameworks,ideologys,interpretations,presuppositions etc..
Can you please explain which parts of science are not scientific?
Be specific.

Make sure that I appreciate the delicacity of your interpretation.
I give up,
Sorry, but it's a well-accepted translation (tail=hebrew slang for "penis").
I mean, read the rest of the passage with that in mind and it makes sense; it talks about the behemoth's sinews in his loins which are powerful, and how strong the muscles of his belly are. It even mentions the behemoths "stones" in connection with the sinews of his belly.
