Thank you for your gracious response.Willtor said:No worries.
But in the future, keep in mind that one can make some pretty harsh accusations and condemn one's own brothers unjustly.
So do you understand now why your accusation was false?FallingWaters said:Thank you for your gracious response.
I do not dare say any more. I will not be back. I don't belong here.theFijian said:So do you understand now why your accusation was false?

It is human to stick ones foot in mouth at times.
When caught, we must own up to the mistake and strive not to make it again.
There are many Christians involved in the sciences, I am one too, to a lesser extent then scientists though.
I dont think that anyone is mad at you for what you said, just that we wish quickly stop a mistaken idea from spreading.
What ever your choice is about continuing to post in this forum, may God be with you.

Except we know from the skin impressions found so far that mosasaurs weren't armored the way crocs were.Starcrystal said:Takes something a lot bigger and more armoured than a Croc to break up iron & brass.... something more like a 50' Mososaur...

Now as far as Redneck Crows comment about "stiff" cedars referring to male genetalia - oh my!Such would not be found in the Bible!!
Ok, joking, but tail is a tail and even if it means it's you-know-what there are other descriptions that would make it a very unusually large Hippo...
And the post that talked about the Crocs tail being big... the "tail" verse is in the passage about the Behemoth, not the Leviathan....and people call the Behemoth a Hippo.
Job 41:27 - 29 "He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear."

Redneck Crow said:Great! Then surely you can show me where I made the comment you attribute to me referring to the male genitalia. I'd love to see it.

gluadys said:But does the comparison refer to size? Two translations (Jerusalem Bible and NRSV) translate the verse as "it makes its tail stiff like a cedar". So the key element is stiffness, not size.
Also a propos is that "tail" here may be a euphemism for male genitalia. That would be appropriate if one is talking about "stiffness" rather than size. It would also make sense of the KJV rendering of the second half of this couplet, which refers to Behemoth's "stones". In Hebrew poetry, the second half of a couplet often echoes the first.
Most translations say "thighs" rather than "stones". But again, "thighs" was a common euphemism for male genitalia.
Could you cite the reference to the size of the legs? I don't see it. The closest is a reference to the strength of its bones. That doesn't seem to have much to do with size or proportion.
Mosasaurs had scales like every other reptile. But they didn't have armored scutes like crocs.Starcrystal said:Mososaurs have no scales.... but similar size.)
goes and gets his dinosaur hunter hatFallingWaters said:I believe dinosaurs still exist because living people have seen them.
prove it.xpiotosaves said:I'll answer your questions in order:
1. Yes they are, in the book of Job.
And?2.Its just a nmae given by humans. I sometimes call roaches terrible insects. If you thing about it, crocodiles are terrible lizards!
Well, the birds are still there. But no other dinosaurs have been found for 65 mill. years.3. Many creatures such as the tazmanian wolf are extinct. You cna't blame it on God. Infact, how do we know all dinosaurs are extinct.
And likewise, people have seen Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Loch ness monster, aliens making crop circles and a bunch of other nonsense. We also had a nice picture of the Loch Ness monster. Was it the photographer's son who recently explained how his dad admitted the hoax? For such silly claims, we need a bit more evidence.4. Many reports come out of New Guinea saying that they've seen pterosaurs. I've even seen a picture though I cannot find it on the net.
Job 41:1-10steen said:prove it.
Well he said how could God make something called a terrible lizard. It is a name given by humans. It doesn't matter what we call it. If could call them tiddlywinks you could say "Thats because God wants us to play with them!" It is just a name and nothing more.And?
How do you know? Have you been alive for 65 million years?Well, the birds are still there. But no other dinosaurs have been found for 65 mill. years.
Yes, you're right. But we also don't have proof that they do not exist!And likewise, people have seen Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Loch ness monster, aliens making crop circles and a bunch of other nonsense.
