Dinosaurs ranged from cat-sized creatures to the mighty Bruhathkayosaurus.

Any mention of then-living New World animals unknown to the contemporaries who wrote the Bible, such as black swans, in there? I didn’t think so. Giant creatures are a common theme in all ancient cultures.

My family enjoys the Answers in Genesis ministry, Ken Ham is the founder. His materials (books, DVDs) cover this passage and much more. I majored in Environmental Science (I know, but I was more liberal then) and even though I wanted to believe what was in the text books, there were a lot of holes in the information. Ken Ham challenges many of the assumptions upon which evolution is based and I have to say, he makes much more scientific sense than most of what I was taught in my evolutionary biology classes.

“I had always thought the Dinos died in the great flood.”

The flood was 65 million years ago?

The Dinos existed to make gas and oil for us today. ;-)

17 He moveth his tail like a cedar:

It could still be an elephant and the tail could actually be referring to the elephant's trunk.

Most likely a Hippo. They go as far north as Egypt and destroy boats for fun

The poor thing was back-asswards? It would be mighty difficult to confuse the front and the back of an elephant.

Maybe the *GAP THEORY*

GENESIS 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

BILLION OF YEARS

Genesis 1:2
Genesis 1:2

Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

17a He moveth his tail like a cedar:

An elephant still works. Note that the verse states the tail MOVES like a cedar, not that the tail IS like a cedar. A cedar moves slowly and little in the wind, like an elephant's tail. It's not a fast twitch, but a slow motion wave.

The tail moves like a cedar, the tail is not like a cedar.

uhm.. yeah.. people are always confusing an elephant's head with his a$$. You might think the eyes and mouth are a trick to confuse larger predators.

It eats grass. Definitely not a crocodile.

No need to be vulgar in the Religion forum.

My mistake, I thought this thread as one of intelligent discussion.
