==Furthermore, why aren’t dinosaurs mentioned in the bible

“Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God…” (Job 40:15-19).

Sounds like a dino to me. What other animal to you know of that feeds like an ox but has a tail comparable in size to a cedar tree?:

Actually, the bible does NOT say that the tail is comparable in size to a cedar tree. You are misquoting the bible. Shame on you.

“feeds like an ox but has a tail comparable in size to a cedar tree”

Job might have been talking about the ancestors of my English mastiff.

While on `poop patrol’ this weekend, I complained to her that it was
like cleaning up after the elephants at the circus.

http://stupiddinosaurlies.org/the-truth-about-behemoth/

The verse in full context says,

“He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.”

But creationists took that verse and distorted it to make the verse erroneously say,

“His tail is like a cedar: the sinew of his stones are wrapped together.”

In their false reasoning as illustrated in many of their literature including Duane Gish’s book Dinosaurs by Design, it means the tail of Behemoth were as big and thick as a large cedar tree in comparison to the small tails of the hippo and the elephant. Thus, confirming the notion of Behemoth being a sauropod dinosaur because unlike the tail of an elephant and the hippo, sauropod dinosaurs has huge, long, thick, chunky tails that can easily be compared to a cedar tree.

Even Allan K. Steel, on this page from Ken Ham’s idiot site make claims of this falsehood by giving out what he claims to be technical explanations of what he claims Behemoth was by giving out a whole list of the same verse he misquote in purpose coming from different versions of the English Bible and concludes that the tail of Behemoth is a lot like a cedar tree. Thus, Behemoth, according to Steel, is indeed a dinosaur because its tail is exactly like a cedar tree.

This is flat out false. The verse in full context does not say “His tail is like a cedar.” The verse actually says, “He moveth his tail like a cedar..” which means there is absolutely nothing in the verse that says anything about the size of the tail. Instead, it only has everything to do with the tail’s movements. Nothing else.
