What would be a good conclusion from your IF the earth is at 9000 years old?
How about...maybe it's older?

It means, as I've been pointing out, that the Earth is a lot older than some Christians claim and men and dinosaurs didn't exist at the same time, unless you count crocodiles. Maybe that's the fierce creature you mentioned earlier.

 

[vantexan]

So if the Earth is at most 9000 years old, and man and dinosaurs co-existed during that time, then there would be a lot more documentation from ancient writings and art. Men would've have had an extremely difficult time surviving predatory dinosaurs as well as other mammals. It doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

P.S. Did Noah have all the dinosaurs on the ark?

I didn't mention it. Job did.
It's not a crocodile. People make a living wrestling crocs in Florida.
God indicates that this creature cannot be captured or tamed, and that those who have tried will never do so again.

You ever seen a 20+ ft crocodile? They're maneaters.

I don't think there were any on the Ark.
I think the flood was the cause of the extinction. It explains a lot about the current land mass, what bones are being found where, etc.
The catastrophic change in the earth after the flood could in no way sustain the monsters, food, etc. God let them die in the flood.

Keep trying. Whatever you think.

And yet none of that was said in Genesis.

So?

@vantexan again.

Is the book of Job a myth?

How old was Adam one minute after he was created?
How old were the mountains and the rocks/ boulders one minute after God spoke them into existence.
How old were the trees?

 

[vantexan]

So?

Amazing that beyond a vague description in Job there's nothing in the Old Testament referring to any animals but mammals and birds and small reptiles. Nothing in other ancient writings in other cultures either. But a description in Job of a beast that could've very well been a crocodile is ironclad proof that men and dinosaurs co-existed. Much, much more likely that a huge meteor hit near the present day Yucatan Peninsula about 70 million years ago if I remember right and wiped them out.

I never said anything about iron clad proof of anything. You asked where. I told you. Conclude what you want.

Which one don't you know?

And neither of us will yield in our views.

Does it matter? Is this the aha I got you now moment?

 

[BrownFlush]

Not at all.
What's the problem? Why won't you answer?

 

[vantexan]

Already told you, I don't know. But I've learned enough over the years to question whether the Old Testament is in fact Jewish mythology. Doesn't mean it all is but likely a good deal of it is. YMMV

No. You never told me anything.
So you don't believe that the book of Job happened? That it is not the Word of God? Wowza. Didn't expect that from you.
