I'm saying people who claim to be non-religious and preach to people about being "civil" to Christians don't have a problem belittling and criticizing other religions need to either practice what they preach or stop being a hypocrite. And the justification for it is "one blows people up", and supposedly that makes it all ok, when they know not all members of said religion do that, just like not all Christians are like the Westboro Baptist idiots or TV evangelists.

Every single person in here criticizes westboro baptist.... I'm not defending anyone in this thread... The only comment I made was that people are more offended bc it hits them personally. Just like the cop shootings is more personal to black people. I don't really care either way....

I won't go into a lengthy discussion about what type of narrative work Job is since it is a red herring to the conversation.

Even if it were poetry, it is the description of a giant reptile, given in such a way that the reader of the time was expected to recognize it by its description.

And, as I pointed out to huff, it's your assumption that it isn't describing a dinosaur. You're operating on a circular reasoning--there is no description of dinosaurs in the Bible because there are no descriptions of dinosaurs; even the description of what may be a dinosaur is not a description of a dinosaur because there are no descriptions of dinosaurs in the Bible.

You asked for a description, and I gave one.

There are references to the Loch Ness Monster to this day. Does that indicate that dinosaurs might be alive right now?

Based on your posting history, I'm going to disagree.

To the people wondering about dinosaurs being in the bible, not that it really matters to me, but cats are never mentioned either. You would think that cats, being evil incarnate would've garnered a verse or two. Unicorns are mentioned several times in the KJV.

My point is that the religious people on here appear to be harmless, so I thought that maybe you could find enough decency in you to be a little more civil. Maybe I'm mistaken.

Satan's cat is not amused.

Domesticated cats were known only in northern Africa until the past 3 millenia or so. Wild felines were known, however, and mentioned many times.

In other words, you're fine with me being uncivil with the **** you like to be uncivil to, but cut it out with stuff you deem ok.

Let me just put it this way, bama, just as I did to huff... You are assuming a lot, and that's fine. You are assuming that Job wasn't a historical figure and the events did not actually happen. You are assuming that the description wasn't given to a person who would have recognized the creature as a then-current, known creature. And that's fine.

My point has been that you are assuming all of that. You showed quite a bit of arrogance toward the young-earthers by asking the question about why there are no descriptions of dinosaurs in the Bible--not even a single big lizard.

"Well, there's Job."

"I'm assuming that conversation never actually happened, that the description wasn't of a real/current creature, so it doesn't count."

"Well, you may not be right. It looks to me like a description of a giant lizard that the object of the conversation was meant to recognize."

"Yah? Well... My assumptions are better than your assumptions, so tell me why there are no descriptions of giant lizards in the Bible."

"But look. There was the Leviathon... It may have been..."

"No. My assumptions are better than yours, so there are no descriptions of big lizards in the Bible."

"Wait... You can't do that. You can't blindly state that there are none, use that as a mark against my platform, while assuming that my response is incorrect. I haven't proven there are, but you haven't proven there aren't. So, at best, this would indicate that you should withdraw that criticism from the discussion."

There's no definitive assurance either way, bama. Your criticism is built on your assumptions. Your criticism is invalidated--not because the description is proven to be a dinosaur, but because it's not definitive in either direction.

That's been my point all along.

(Interestingly enough, Job is considered the oldest book in the Bible. Its narrative is considered to describe events that happened as some of the oldest in Biblical history. If dinosaurs walked with people, Job would have been the best candidate for a record of it.

Again... I'm not convinced in either direction. I don't know how old the earth is. I'm not saying that God is describing dinosaurs that walked with Job. I'm merely stating that your criticism of young-earthers' Bible-interpretation is built on shaky ground, so you might want to consider not using it.)

The last picture illustrates how some of you folks love to mock others who have a different view of things. You worship making fun of others.
