All three of those creatures were mentioned in the Bible and none of them resembled any known dinosaur. Don't you believe that the Bible is literally true?

I'm amused at what scientists call unicorns as well.

I wonder what these dont-know-it-all scientists think of satyrs?

In fact, there's a whole list of cryptids in the Bible that should be considered: Atheus visio nocturna.

No, it's not scriptural. Behemoth had an identity of its own. What you are doing is like calling a horse a table because it has four legs.
I Disagree with your opinion, I'll try to get over your disagreement, I'm very sensitive and I'm holding the tears back as I write

You might want to check the Latin on that since any Google searches are coming back with stuff for video games and you don't strike me as a gamer.

It doesn't matter what scientists think of them. It's what the authors thought of them that is the literal truth of the Bible. Saying that they were dinosaurs is unscriptural,

In a christian chat room

You want to use science to disprove God. you in the wrong place
Why would I want to disprove God? I'm very much a Lover of God.

My basic question is why if the Earth is 6000 years old, why did God make it appear to be billions of years old?

But more locally to the Northwest, if the Earth is 6000 years old, why did God make the Yellowstone Hot Spot appear to be 50 million years old complete with the series of volcanic eruptions as it moved to it's present location?

Why?

Young Earth, Man Walked With The Extinct Dinosaurs

God's very clear description of (Behemoth/Brontosaurus)

Job 40:15-24KJV
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
That’s an interesting interpretation.

Thanks for the response!

:)

If he made it for man, would he not make it aged?

Man could not be on an earth that was not ready.
But more locally to the Northwest, if the Earth is 6000 years old, why did God make the Yellowstone Hot Spot appear to be 50 million years old complete with the series of volcanic eruptions as it moved to it's present location?

Why?
Again, Like I said, I am not here to argue. I believe different, I do not want to argue when we probably will not agree. If you want to discuss I will

It is a creature. What kind of creature was it. One like we see today. Or one that is no longer with us? From the description I do not know anything alive today that fits..

You studied radiometric dating methods? I find that hard to believe given some of your posts in this thread.

It's like watching an atheist who said he's studied the Bible go on and on about Jesus being the ship's carpenter aboard the Ark and Moses being the navigator. By saying such ridiculous things, it's clear he hasn't read or studied the Bible as he claimed.

Likewise, it's clear from the things you've posted about radiometric dating that you haven't studied it, which makes me wonder why you can't just acknowledge that and say you believe in a young earth because that's how you read scripture. Why do you have to pretend like you know all about things like radiometric dating methods, geologic strata in the Grand Canyon, etc.?

Scripture warns us against being prideful for a reason.
So who is prejudicial?

I said I have studied it. And like many others. Say they do not agree it can be reliable. But it does not matter, if you want to believe it, feel free

You said I am wrong, I could not have studied it, and in fact. Hold me in judgment.

That is twice today I have been judged (actually three times if you look in the faith thread) and the ones who judged me have called me judgmental or proud..

riddle me why this would happen?

An elephant has a tail like a cedar tree? Have you ever seen a Lebanon ceda? This tree is tall, it is huge, a man looked small next to it.

Or an elephant is so powerful that only God can go against it?

sorry. But it does not fit. Any more than the generally recognized hippo theory That I have heard..

I hope you see why I can not think of this as an elephant.

A cedar tree is also very spiky and tapered.

I know you can't see it as an elephant, but it fits it a lot more than a sauropod.
