The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, <a href="mailto:b@hemowth">b@hemowth</a> (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan. <BR> <BR>Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word “dinosaur.” The word “dinosaur” was originally coined in 1841, more than three thousand years after the Bible first referred to “Tanniyn.” To make things clearer, we constructed the following table comparing the scientific names with the Biblical names tanniyn, behemoth, and Leviathan. <BR> <BR><!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>

the evidence is that dinos lived a long time ago, they died off (asteroid or volcanism, or dino plague?), and the Bible doesn't help us with studying them. MOF, a literal belief in the Bibles "chronology" derived from Genesis is one of the main obstacles to Bible believers acceptance of the facts in evidence. <BR> <BR>and statements like that made in the linked article above....<font color="0000ff">Nobody has ever proven that the Bible contains any inaccurately recorded information.</font>.. seem to suggest that all we need is the Bible to understand dinos. <BR> <BR>Jim Meritt might disagree!!! <BR>http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jim_meritt/bible-contradictions.html <BR> <BR>A new IMAX movie is showing in the few giant screens around the country.... might be a good idea for doubters to see it, then head out to Dino Nat'l Monument in Utah and see for themselves. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.dinosalive.com/index.php" target=_top>http://www.dinosalive.com/index.php</a> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by john8verse32 on January 18, 2009) <BR> <BR>(Message edited by john8verse32 on January 18, 2009)
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

We've only got Under The Sea 3D, narrated by Jim Carrey, at our Imax, right now. <BR> <BR>But we saw Dolphins and Wales, then, Grand Canyon; River At Risk, then, Sea Monsters, successively. <BR> <BR>We took a chance and went even though someone once said that we shouldn't go "where error is being preached". <BR> <BR>Guess we'll have to wait for the Dinos.
