Elephant, Rhino, Hippo?

Thousands of dinosaurs running around and only one excerpt in the bible which could apply to one of the above.

Well, I don’t know if that verse applies to dinosaurs, but none of the three, elephant, hippo, or rhino have tails like a cedar tree.

But the bible is not a book written to explicitly describe scientific happenings. It does have some remarkable scientific descriptions way ahead of its time, though.

By the way, the book of Job is considered the oldest book. So if dinosaurs were in any book, that would be the one.

on the other hand, when we went to the Georgia aquarium, the guide told us the alligator gar we were looking at is a dinosaur.
