Job 41:8 (New International Version)

8 If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!

"If" implies that at the time of the conversation in question it was clearly possible, but ill advised.

Well I don't do New International Version, I like to be able to look the words up for myself to see what they mean.

Job 38 begins this instruction, l, Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

2"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man: for I will demand of thee, and answer thou ME.

4 Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou has understanding.

Now alll through this instruction what response does Job give?

Does not say Yes I remember the dino, fought with them myself?
NO, Job does NOT acknowledge remembrance of the creatures or the battle. God ask him if he remembered, that does tend to put a time frame around it, doesn't appear they were laying hands on a dino while having this chat.
