mmethOd: The Bible indeed does speak of living beings (read, for example, Genesis 1 through 3). Dinosaurs? That's problematic. The King James Bible and other translations use the word "leviathan" in Job 41:1, in Ps. 74:14 and 104:26, and in Isaiah 27:1, and some people believe that these passages refer to dinosaurs. The translators' note on Job 41:1 in the NASB gives -crocodile_ as a variant reading for _leviathan_. But there is no proof of leviathan being either a crocodile or a dinosaur, and most exegetes believe the Hebrew word rendered _leviathan_ refers to a large sea creature whose exact indentity is unknown. The one conclusion we can draw from Scripture is that if, in fact, these creatures we call dinosaurs did once exist and are now extinct, they were created during the same week that man was and did not, as certain theories would have us believe, exist millions of years and become extinct before the advent of man. --Hank | ||||||
