Right. It is referring to another part of his anatomy and what happens when he gets excited!
Not at all: like the photographed fake "giant Man Track" carved in mud "found" by a YECer alongside the dinosaur tracks near Glen Rose, TX, the Chinese YECers also "found" a buried wooden sign*, stating, "Noah was here!"...

*NOTE" if in doubt, highlight between the "###s"...
16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
Dinosaurs have navels?

No, the passage that you quote SAYS “His bones are tubes of bronze”! That is NOT a comparison, that is a statement of fact.
And we can infer that because of the VERY NEXT PHRASE being “his limbs like rods of iron”, which by inclusion of the word “like” become a simile.
Clearly, the Word of God says the first is an absolute statement - the beasts bones ARE made from bronze tubes, and that the second is comparison of the beast’s limbs to rods of iron (but not made of iron).
How can you state both are a comparison? The literal words as you quote do not support your conclusion at all.
Unless you mean the Bible is not inerrant in its words, and that sometimes it says one thing but means another?
Of course that would lead to the Bible being a metaphorical, geneological, and theological/philosophical book, and not a history book. And we all know that you simply won’t accept that viewpoint.
Here’s your conundrum - if the Bible is the literal, inerrant Word of God, then the behemoth MUST have had bones of bronze - no other conclusion is possible. Unless the Bible is not a literal, inerrant Word of God (like what the Muslims believe of the Qu’ran).
Why do Adam and Eve have belly buttons?
Wow - the bark doesnt even look like cedar - more like walnut or something
GGG,
You still have not addressed the fact that you have misquoted the bible inorder to make your point.
That's a hippopotamus, not a dinosaur.
If that were true, the would have found human remains in the mud strata ...
Yes, they would have found human remains in the form of T-Rex poop!
Noah’s flood? when did that happen?
Can you prove they had belly buttons? I don’t recall ever seeing picture of Adam and Eve.
Good one!
i don’t think that the navel is a characteristic of the reptile.
G-Cube, this is your weakest yet!
We are made in the image of God, correct? If you and I have belly buttons, then not only must all other people - who are made in the same image - but God must have a belly button, too!
I didn't bring up the cretaceous period. It was cited by the author. It has a specific meaning and is defined as lasting from 144 to 65 MYA.
The Bible has been used to calculate the various Biblical ages. Noah is generally considered to have lived 6000 to 10000 years ago.
This is not an "evo" position. Geological periods are geology, not biology.
