Well that's interesting. Carl Everett, the short-fused Red Sox outfielder who has thankfully gone to the Rangers, said the dinosaurs never existed, because there is no mention of them in the Bible.

The bible speaks of the behemoth, an animal with a tail like a tree trunk. No large animal had a tail like a tree trunk except the dinosaur. And studying Genesis in the original Hebrew, there is no problem with the earth being 4 billion years old.

Job 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

Job 40:16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.

Job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

Job 40:18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.

Job 40:19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].

Job 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Job 40:21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

Job 40:22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

Job 40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

Job 40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.

[Joshua]

" Job 41:1-8 1 "Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope? 2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook? 3 Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words? 4 Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life? 5 Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls? 6 Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants? 7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears? 8 If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again! (NIV) "

Your post and this verse do not prove that Job lived in the time of Dinosaurs. This is Job explaining to his buddies what he saw when he took the kids to the Amelikite Dinosaur Science Center.

A good resource, do you study with the Shepherds Chapel? They teach of this, and do a chapter by chapter study daily. Too many people limit creation to a short amount of time. There is so much more to learn, if you get away from the traditions that smother the truth.

I don't normally jump into these threads because quite frankly, I have never believed the Bible can be literally translated into English and then be taken (for want of a better word) literally.

I thought the information on your link was fascinating. I'm going to refer it to someone I know that can read Hebrew to clarify that those words are what you say they mean. Not that I have any reason to doubt you, more for my own information.

Thank you for sharing it.

You said, And studying Genesis in the original Hebrew, there is no problem with the earth being 4 billion years old. that's well and good, but creationists don't think the earth is 4 billion years old; they think it's 6,000 years old lol
