Religion and Other Things

Ain't no dinosaurs in the bible. Explain please.

The bible wouldn't be as popular as it is toda if it did.

For example, if you read it in 1000ad when dinosaurs wern't even speculated, you'd think "wtf is this oging on about?" and dismiss it.

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Yeah, but you'd think with giant meat-eating reptiles walking the earth, there'd be some mention of them. We're talking absolutely no press here. None.

PS - Can't wait until we discover life on another planet so we can just blow the whole lid off the bitch, personally. While I completely understand spirituality, most organized religions seem downright sketchy.

PPS - I declare myself OT level 13.

lol, the bible can't mention every single detail of the universe

[Squeezer]

And the bible is about the history of man, not the history of those second place douche bag dinosaurs.

They had their chance, where the fuck is there book?

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

I saw it. It was in the bottom of my hat. I told some people about it, but I have since misplaced that hat, so no one else can ever really see it themselves.

But trust me, I saw the shit out of it.

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

The bible specifically mentions adders, antelope, ants, apes, arrowsnake, ass, badger, locust, bat, bear, bees, beetle, birds, boar, ox, calf, camel, cankerworm, cat, caterpillar, chameleon, chamois, chicken, cock, colt, coral, cow, crane, cricket, crocodile, deer, doe, dog, doleful creatures, dove, eagle, elephant, ewe (sheep), falcon, fish, flea, fly, fox, frog, gazelle, gnat, goat, grasshopper, hare, hawk, hoopoe, hornet, horse, hyena, jackal, kid, kite, lamb, leopard, lice, lion, lizard, locust, mouse, mole, moth, muke, night hawk, ospray, ostrich, owl, ox, palmerworm, partridge, pelican, pigeons, quail, raven, sand flies, sand lizard, scorpion, seal, serpent, snail, sparrow, spider, sponge, stallion, stork, swallow, swan, swine, tortoise, turtle, turtle-dove, unicorn, viper, vulture, wasp, weasel, whale, wolf, and worms.

Come on. It mentions frickin CANKERWORMS. BUT NO DINOSAURS? LET'S GET SERIOUS.

UNICORNS. IT MENTIONS UNICORNS! (King James Bible; Deuteronomy 33:17; Numbers 23:22, 24:8; Pslam 22:21, 29:6; Isaiah 34:7)

NO DINOSAURS, BUT UNICORNS--OH YEAH.

[Superted]

No rabbits either, shock!

[Squeezer]

Conc read my above post.

Dinosaurs aren't mentioned, because humans never saw dinosaurs.

And the bible picks up "when humans were first created"

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Then why is the creation story there? There's nothing in the creation story about "wiping the slate clean, getting rid of those pesky dinosaurs because they would've eaten the crap out of man". Large, GIANT HOLES is what we're left with.

Well, that, and unicorns.

[Theif of Time]

Unicorns were Rhino's, weren't they?

Science is more about understanding how things work than answering these philosophical questions, it is the wrong place to look and why many of these threads turn into a pointless argument.

Its only when people begin throwing shit around that its a problem.

[Pandagirl!]

Dinosaurs are too in the Bible! Ever read Job? I'm guessing not. ^-^ Three animals you forgot on that list Conc, tanniyn, behemowth (behemoth), and livyathan (leviathan, no, not the ship). Tanniyn has lots of translations, sea monster, dragon, serpent, reptile, giant creature, and *gasp* dinosaur! Tanniyn is a general term, Behemoth and Leviathan are more specific, such as a certain species.

Info on the Behemoth is found in Job 40:15-24.
Info on the Leviathan is found in Job 41, Psalm 104:25,26 and Isaiah 27:1, among other places.

Oh, and as for the unicorn? Unicorn just means one horn, so it could have been many things, not just the unicorn that we think of.

I'm sure you won't find the word "masturbation" in the bible.. maybe a derivative phrase.

PS. someone ban tone and get $20 through paypal.

If not, someone should probably put it in there.

Ain't no dinosaurs in the bible. Explain please.

It was on the sixth day when god created the dinosaurs and the thompson rifle to shoot the homo-sexuals.
