Henotheism in the Hebrew Bible.

[LinuxGal]

But the purpose of the generations of Adam is to show a direct line between him and Noah - it has no other purpose. The purpose of the generations of Noah is to show the men who peopled the Earth after the flood. You’re attempting to apply the same reasoning to two different things.

A list of Noah’s children and grandchildren doesn’t serve the same purpose as a list of Noah’s male ancestors in direct lineage. 

And if you weren’t so quick to sneer at semantics, you might understand why you’re getting this wrong.

That wasn't it's purpose at all, it was tracing the lineage of the firstborn sons, Noah just happened to be one of those firstborn sons.

[Jehanne]

I don't think that Ken Ham would even buy this one.

[The Grand Nudger]

You're right, Ken Ham calls bullshit on that one. While both dragons and unicorns were on the ark, according to The Hamster, they definitely didn't eat the unicorns.

Some people claim the Bible is a book of fairy tales because it mentions unicorns. However, the biblical unicorn was a real animal, not an imaginary creature.

Modern readers have trouble with the Bible’s unicorns because we forget that a single-horned feature is not uncommon on God’s menu for animal design. (Consider the rhinoceros and narwhal.) The Bible describes unicorns skipping like calves (Psalm 29:6), traveling like bullocks, and bleeding when they die (Isaiah 34:7). The presence of a very strong horn on this powerful, independent-minded creature is intended to make readers think of strength.

The absence of a unicorn in the modern world should not cause us to doubt its past existence. (Think of the dodo bird. It does not exist today, but we do not doubt that it existed in the past.). Eighteenth century reports from southern Africa described rock drawings and eyewitness accounts of fierce, single-horned, equine-like animals. One such report describes “a single horn, directly in front, about as long as one’s arm, and at the base about as thick . . . . [It] had a sharp point; it was not attached to the bone of the forehead, but fixed only in the skin."

To think of the biblical unicorn as a fantasy animal is to demean God’s Word, which is true in every detail.

You'll never run out of nuggets like this from aig.

I've seen some damn fine bullocks, from both my perspective and that of dear friends, kind enough to share.  If unicorn bullocks are any better, let them shine, Jesus, you cock blocking bastard.
