  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hippo Foot
This reminds me of the modern translations of the Bible that say the Behemoth in Job 40:15 is a hippo, then we read of this Behemoth in Job 40:17 and it says he moveth his tail like a cedar. Now a cedar is a really big tree, whereas a hippo has a real small tail in comparison to it's body. Translators were looking for a modern day animal to fill the bill of Job 40:15 when what it was speaking of was probably an extinct dinosaur.

@Greg Merrill it's a tempting thought that it could be a dinosaur, but is there any other evidence that they knew about dinosaurs? It reads to me more like an imagined primal beast, with attributes informed by the known big beasts of the time. Who knows?
 
Look up the words "dragon" and "dragons" in a Bible concordance. Sometimes they are "translated" jackal, as in Mal 1:3, but then there were "dragons of the waters" as in Psa 74:13. I doubt if those were jackals. Isaiah 27:1 speaks of a dragon, but this could be a dinosaur, Egypt or Pharaoh (Eze 29:9) or Satan (Rev 12:9). See also Psa 91:13. There are other references as well. The word "dinosaur" was not used until 1841, so people before that didn't call them dinosaurs but "dragons". Leviathan in Job 41:1,21 is probably a dinosaur as well, like the pleisosaurus.
