OK I think this is going to go easier if I stick to one issue at a time and stick to the creationist thing. Original sin is a good debate but off the topic for this really.

So, the fossil issue. As far as I am concerned, the dinosaur fossils are millions of years old. Hundreds of millions of years. Scientific analysis has shown us this. You believe that the earth is 6,000 years old and the fossils are really about 5,000 or so I guess.

What do you think of the scientific evidence? We know how to date things. The methods have been accepted for years and years by all the people with beards who always seem to know what they are talking about. Personally I believe that the scientists are right. They know more than me and their experience has been built up over generations so I accept what the results of their experiments show. From your point of view was every test done inaccurate? Are the instruments giving incorrect readings?

Sticking with dinosaurs, from the description you posted from Job I figured it may be some sort of sauropod. Especially with the tree tail. Brachiosaur probably because they were brown. I had to google it to know what I am talking about though.

There are several translations of the description hanging around. All the artwork representing it shows something resembling a boar. I couldn't find anything showing a dinosaur. The cedar tail thing differs too. Some say it hardens like a cedar and others say the tail is more like the cedar branches which could account for an elephant or boar in that part of the world.

Also, there was only one behemoth. The passages I saw in my brief search don't imply the term is used as a plural. It just doesn't seem that herds of dinosaurs would be referred to in that way. If humans and dinos were living together there'd be more references to them not just one individual.

Behemoth is also described as first in the ways of God and I don;t know what that means but I take it as implying he's some holy thing to be revered rather than just one of many large reptiles living on the planet. Plus monsters appear in many religions for many reasons so it may be a metaphor.

Oh and Behemoth fights Leviathan at some point in time. Have they had their fight yet and if not where are they at the moment?
