yes.

Elephants, Buffalo, Hippopotamus, etc.

I suspect God, or His Angels, told the writers about dinosaurs. Or, since God made man in His own image, man was intelligent enough to figure it out.

In a similar fashion, the Greeks wrongly assembled mammoth bones to conclude that human-like giants were real.

[dalebert]

sounds like it.

I thought that all dinos were hatched from eggs.

[Nateman]

They did stumble across dinosaur bones back in ancient times but mistook them for other things. That’s why they believed in the Titans: they thought the bones were of huge one eyed people!

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.

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

[Finalapproach29er]

Footnote of my old Bible says Hippopotomous.

It was from Job’s time, right? He was supposedly before even Abraham. Personally, I lean towards elephants, what with the “drinking up of the river”, “eating grass” and enjoying the shade. Sure sounds like them and it was around the same geographical area.

[Circle_Hook]

Sounds like a giant Crock to me.

[LachlanMinnesota]

I say we should decide this issue concerning the scientific basis on a vote of journalists and climate scientists, so that we can settle this science and stop all contradictory conclusions once and for all.

Roll call vote...Gore? Nay. Obama? Nay...

If you really want a mysterious creature check out the Leviathan of Job 41.

Yes.

Here’s a theory: Dinosaurs were part of the “backstory” God created for the Earth so that he could call one up here. Why make a coherent backstory? So choosing God would be an act of faith, without which there would not be free will. Why does free will matter? Because without free will, there cannot be true love or even companionship, and the universe would be a sterile empty place (possibly even for God).

[redgolum]

Perhaps.

There are many legends of the behemoth, beyond what a hippo could be.
