On jury duty one compares testimonies with physical evidences to reach
a verdict. We do this in real life. No modern animal -- only
the dinosaurs, had those strange, massive, bony structures below their hips. This matches the
Bible in the Old Testament book of Job 40:15: strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of
his belly.
This was no understatement! Also, no large modern animal
has a tail like a cedar (tree). Job was contemporary with the behemoth (a huge dinosaur).
Testimony and evidence agree. God alone is Almighty! God sent Noah’s flood
to destroy all mankind and air breathing land animals. God put us Earthlings "on-notice!"
Here we have a dinosaur
mentioned as contemporary with the man, Job, while God is talking to him -- but modern scientists say dinosaurs
died out 65 million years ago, and man only evolved about 4 million years ago.
So, here is a terrible discrepancy -- either dinosaurs and man were contemporary,
and/or the Earth/cosmos is quite young -- less than 10,000 years -- within the Biblical time frame, -- OR
the Bible is quite wrong. If so this casts considerable doubt on the entire book.
WARNING: Notes in many bibles mislead readers into thinking Behemoth is a modern animal like
a Rhino, Hippo or Elephant. But NO MODERN ANIMAL has the special hip structures dinosaurs had, NOR do large modern animals
have a tail like a cedar tree! So, NO modern animal fits the description in Job40.
Also, modern bibles or versions garble the Job 40:15- passage. Both
of these efforts are intended to hide the fact that the passage shows modern man and dinosaurs to be contemporary, calling
into serious question the (phony) secular (myth) that this world is billions of years old.
The Bible is correct -- this world is young -- less than 10,000 years old.
True science confirms this. All "dating"
methods involve questionable, unprovable, ASSUMPTIONS -- AND USUALLY these ASSUME the world to be old to begin with.
When these are changed to reasonable assumptions, it turns out, the world is young.
If one STARTS with the assumption that the human Bible writers really
feared God and were careful in their reporting, then the available, PROVABLE, evidence DOES NOT CONTRADICT THE BIBLE CHRONOLOGY.
See my pages Seven Evidences Confirming Special Creation, the age of the earth section, and Why the King James Bible, for more detail.
The Earth and Cosmos are about 6000 years old according to the Bible! This is
found by adding up all the generations listed in the Bible. In many cases estimating is necessary. This could
lead to estimates up to, perhaps, 8000 years! But there is no way one will get up to the 4.5 billion
year age of the earth held by modern secular scientists.
There are many creationists who do hold genuine scientific credentials, and
who do believe the Earth and cosmos are, indeed, young -- less than 10,000 years old. Here must make that critical, necessary, jury duty comparison between testimonies that conflict,
with the physical evidence. The contemporary existence Behemoth and Job is stunning evidence the world is young, just
like the entire bible says.
The Genesis Flood (of Noah and the Ark),
primarily, explains the demise of the dinosaurs. Also, the world was very different after the Flood, with "seasons"
occurring for the first time.
Genesis 8:20-22
says: And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and
offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again
curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again
smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. This information would be superfluous if
God had not caused a significant change in climate.
Genesis 2:5-7
tells us Earth's watering system was very different before the Flood : And every plant of the field
before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon
the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face
of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul. These changes sheds light on the demise of the dinosaurs.
It rained for the first time after the Flood!!!

Additionally, God added meat to the human diet -- God had specified a vegetarian diet before
the Flood: Genesis 1:29, And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is
upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for
meat.
Compare this with -- Genesis 9:1-4:
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And
the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that
moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving
thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof,
which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. The Dinosaurs may have made an easy target. Noah’s flood is God’s serious warning! To be saved
Noah’s family had to get IN the Ark. The Bible says, The LORD shut him in.
Saint Peter notes, that in like manner, salvation must be found, only, IN Jesus Christ.
Saint John was closest to Jesus. He said, succinctly
in 1 John 5: He that hath the Son, hath life, he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.
Like the Ark, we must find God’s way of salvation or perish eternally.
Zillions of fossils are the unique evidence of Noah’s Flood. 90+
percent of all fossils are of marine organisms! Dead things always rot or get eaten by scavengers.
They only fossilize under extremely unusual circumstances.
Sedimentary rocks are big rocks smashed into sand and cemented together. This too, was
unique to the Flood. Something caused the rocks to bang together on a huge scale. The cementing agent must have
been produced under unique conditions.
Massive coal, oil, and gas deposits are more stunning evidence. None of these things
are happening today. The Bible matches the physical evidence, thus assuring us the Bible is historically reliable.

God offers us salvation from his final
judgement:
Jesus said, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John3:16

yourself and family!
