My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge: Hosea 4:6.

This is the official ping list for Depths of Pentecost: I’m a Christian blogger who writes weekly Bible lessons. Topics range from Bible studies, apologetics, theology, history, and occasionally current events. Every now and then I upload sermons or classes onto YouTube.

Let me know if you’d like to added to the Depths of Pentecost ping list. New posts are up every Saturday.

On Day 6 God created all the animals that live on dry land, so dinosaurs are indeed in the Bible.

It's not not in the bible either. Jaser and Enoch spoke of the genetic abominations done to man and beast in that time.

Mayhaps the flood was to wipe the DNAsaurs from the earth along with the dna corrupted peoples.

Perhaps its most substantial claim was that the pre-flood world was surrounded by a large water canopy that kept out ultraviolet radiation while increasing hyperbaric pressure in the atmosphere, leading to 100% oxygen levels.

I find that one to be complete bull. The thing about oxygen is that it oxidizes. This same process, that helps our bodies to create energy, is also the process that causes iron and rebar to rust, necessitating major repairs to bridges, roads and buildings, and, along with other factors, causes wood and other materials to burn, necessitating fire departments and cleanup specialists (Servpro). If the oxygen content of the atmosphere was 100%, we'd all be lucky to live even 9 years (forget 900!), before we'd burn out or die from spontaneous human combustion, IMO.

I like one Catholic thinker's explanation of why our ancient ancestors lived such long lives: they were simply not burdened by the collective weight of all our sins to a relatively early grave, the way later descendants were.

Just look at you geaux, mister Cottraux:

You seem amazingly focused upon promoting yourself.

Behemoth and leviathan in the book of Job
Behemoth can stretch its tail like a cedar.5 This tree is known for its size and its hard wood, which is very well suited for building. The tail thus should be strong and long. The tail of the hippopotamus has no resemblance to a mighty cedar or cedar branch at all. The short and thick tail is only 35 to 50 cm long; it is broad at its base and has a pointed end. Furthermore, the hippopotamus does not stretch its tail, but lets it hang down and wiggles it. For this reason, the translation ‘to slacken’ has been proposed, but this does not fit with the comparison of the tail to a cedar. The cedar has very long branches of some 10 to 20 m, so restricting the comparison to a cedar branch does not provide a solution.

If you believe birds are dinosaurs...then dinosaurs are indeed in the Bible. The term “dinosaur” is a term coined by Sir Richard Owen in the 1800’s...so the large “dinosaurs” or even smaller ones could be considered a beast. So if dinosaurs are “beasts”...then, they are in the Bible.....what selection factors caused a dinosaur to become a bird? Could a large reptile such as an alligator evolve to become a “dinosaur”? What would be the selection pressure?
Can anyone trace the epigenetic-dna-rna-protein-cytologic-organ-organism-environment path for the evolution of a living “creaure”?

The article fails to take into account the fact that young earth creationists are not monolithic in their views.

John Baumgardner helped Joseph Dillow to try to get a vapor canopy computational model to work, but after a while John realized that the model wasn’t going to be able to dissipate the absorbed solar heat. John doesn’t endorse the vapor canopy, and I don’t know if Jody Dillow still does, but having said that, John Baumgardner NO LONGER thinks the vapor canopy is a valid approach.
