Behemoth in Job 40:15-24 clearly describes a Brontosaurus like creature.

in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.


Must be a teeny Brontosaurus, huh?

Why the fuck do people even...no, never mind. Let these fucktards continue to believe there's such a dinosaur as the brontosaurus. They believe in sillier shit to begin with anyway.

hey, lookie here!

Quote:What does dragon come of? There are a lot of answers such as crocodile, snake, pig or even lightening. Now many experts agree on that dragon came of a totem mainly consisting of snake. It had snake's body, pig's head, deer's horns, bull's ear, goat's beard, hawk's claws and fish's squama. This view introduces a penetrating insight towards the life of ancient society: in remote times of clanship, the Huaxia Clan symbolized by snake totem in the Yellow River drainage area conquered other clans and then grew into a big clan union by integrating others together with their totems. That was how the totem of dragon came into being.

In 1987 a grave of the Yangshao Culture in 6,000 years ago was unearthed in Ziyang, Henan Province, where a dragon made of mussel shells was found beside the male dead. This was the earliest dragon we have ever known by far. A jade dragon of more than 5,000 years of history was dug out in Inner Mongolia with a slim body crooked like the alphabet C and a pig-like head.

I'd wager that all those dino bones in China also had something to do with it....

Could this guy have made into the middle-east?... by way of the silk road, perhaps?

I agree with that.

The ideas in this thread have real world applications and aren't being presented as a word salad that goes almost nowhere.

There seems to be some conflation going on between scripture and creationism. Tongue

Exactly. If I wanted practical ideas, I'd google "how to build a spice rack," not try to figure out why a book written pre-science fails to explain scientific discoveries.
