Tell us about the dinosaurs

What else would you like to know?

Ah, wasn't i clear. Well, first off, if you are going to make statements like Job used them as work animals (you said something like that...?) then give me the relevant sources for this assumption. Same goes for Leviathan (i recall that one) and Behemoth.

What I was more after was your belief about how and when dinosaurs existed. Were they on the ark? If so, how did they fit. If not, why not? God commanded two of every animal. "One cannot go against the word of God" - great quote from Dune.

Haha, gotta love a guy who can quote David Lynch movies. Nice work.

No I did not mean Job used them as work animals. In the text the writer of Job points to them as examples, "see the Behemoth, can you?.....can you?...". So he is making a point by using animals that everyone was familiar with. Would be like me saying, "You should all be strong in the face of danger, see the Elephant does it run away when something is attacking it's young? Is it ever weak?". So that is how he is referring to these animals. So it makes sense that they were real animals that the readeers would have been familiar with.

As for the Ark, yes Noah would have had them on the Ark too. Space really would not have been an issue because there really are only about 50 true "kinds" of dinosaurs. These dinosaurs were all different sizes from smaller than a chicken to the sauropods. If space really was an issue Noah could have taken Juvenile ones on the Ark. I don't think he needed to conidering the huge amount of space he had on the Ark. These dinosaurs most likely survived after the Ark and sparked many of the dragon stories in China and Europe. There have been modern stories of alleged dinosaur sightings in Australia and Central Africa. People who have seen these creatures describe them very accurately despite some of them never even knowing about dinosaurs. We find pictographs that closely resemble dinosaurs. The finding of Coelacanth amongst serveral other species of animals and trees has shown that animals that supposedly lived millions of years ago could still live today.

Intentionally misquoting someone by using the

function is a very severe offense on every other fourm I have been on. I hope that is also the case on this forum.

It isn't.

He quoted something you said, and then put his own "correction" in bold. Afterwards, he said he told you he'd "fixed" your quote, put a wink smiley, and then said "my bold".

Nobody could read that post and come to the conclusion that you said what he quoted you as saying.

I actually think a few people on here could. The quote function is supposed to always be used to directly quote another poster.
