>>Are you saying that 'hayah' is used exclusively in Scripture to mean "became"?<<

Exclusively no, but it’s makes more sense and understanding when in context with other parts of scripture and scientific evidence.

>>Is there a problem?<<

Yep, when was an ice age since the flood? At what point in time since the flood did the climate cool so fast that Mastodons were frozen with green vegetation in their mouth having not even had time to swallow. When did the dinosaurs go extinct since the flood?

OK, not exclusively. Now clearly other parts of Scripture do not rule this usage. As for the 'scientific evidence'? Forget about it. There is none.

Well, if Jobab in Gen 10 is Job; the ice age after the flood is well documented. Frozen mastadons don't require that the entire climate cool that fast and you have a bigger problem if you place them pre-flood. Unless you don't believe in a world-wide flood, that is.

As for dinosaurs going extinct in modern times, there are examples all over the world. Beowulf and the story of St George and the dragon are a couple of examples of human/dinosaur interactions. There is plenty of other evidence if you care to look.

If you want to believe what science says as your authority, then it doesn't matter anyway.
