Dinosaurs in Job?

By -
The Bible presents two mysterious creatures in Job. Now it's time to examine the two creatures one by one.


In Job 40:15-24 has the description of the Behemoth's physical attributes as:
  • Eats grass as an ox which makes it obviously an herbivore
  • Strength is in his loins and his force is in the navel of his belly
  • Moves tail like a cedar, the sinews of his stones are wrapped together
  • Bones are as strong pieces of brass, bones like bars of iron
  • Lies under shady trees in the covert of the reed and fens
  • The shady trees cover him with their shadow, the willows of their brook compass him about
  • He drinks up a river and hastes not

This could not be merely a hippopotamus or an elephant. Elephants are not big enough to drink up a river, the tail is not even big as a cedar. Moving to scientific facts, cedars are also capable of growing up to 40 meters. So what kind of animal has a tail that long? Some of the dinosaurs that were classified later by secular science as apatosaurus, brachiosaurus and ultrasaurus are all having tails as LONG as a cedar.  


Leviathan is described in Chapter 41 as:
  • Having a double bridle
  • Having terrible teeth
  • Scales are shut up and closed seal
  • Sneezes cause the eyes to shine
  • Flames come out of his mouth
  • Smoke coming from out of his nostrils
  • Strong necked
  • Steel weapons are but rotten wood to him
  • Sharp stones are under him, spreads sharp pointed things across the mire
  • Makes the sea like a pot of ointment

This can't be a whale because whales have no scales. A crocodile is not that strong or huge either. So far some scientists who are Christians have suggested a T-Rex but a T-Rex so far isn't a sea creature. Some passages do suggest leviathan is a sea creature (Psalm 104:24-26, Isaiah 27:1) which today could actually be an old sea dinosaur probably what scientists call the "Mosasaur" or a Plesiosaur or any now-extinct sea monster that would have existed during the time of Job and may have been plentiful before the great flood hit the Earth. Also, there could be a special compartment in the skull of any giant dinosaur enough to store chemicals that could ignite fire like the bombardier beetle but in much bigger quantities. With that in mind - it's not impossible to breathe fire, right?

Conclusion:

Once again, the Bible is far more scientific than the foolish theories set by God-haters who just imagine things out of their heads to explain the "sudden" death of dinosaurs.
