This document describes passages from the Book of Genesis and Job that reference large land animals. The Genesis passage describes God commanding the earth to bring forth living creatures according to their kinds on the sixth day of creation. The Job passage describes a large beast called Behemoth, noting its powerful hips, stomach muscles, tail like a cedar, thick thighs, bones like bronze beams and ribs like iron bars. The passage suggests Behemoth was one of the first creatures made by God.

7. WHY DO SO MANY BELIEVE IN
SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE?
• So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released
Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he
had scourged Him, to be crucified. (Mark 15:15)
• Meanwhile he also hoped that money would be
given to him by Paul, that he might release him.
Therefore he sent for him more often and
conversed with him. (Acts 25:26)

COEXISTENCE WITH HUMANS
• Dinosaur evidence recorded in the past 4000 years
• Dinosaurs must have got on the ark (Gen. 6:19)
• But I am never going to find
the word Dinosaur
• Word created by Sir Richard Owen
in 1841 meaning “terrible lizard”

12. HERODOTUS – GREEK HISTORIAN 450 B.C.
• “There is a place in Arabia...to which I went, on
hearing of some winged serpents; and when I
arrived there, I saw bones and spines of serpents,
in such quantities as it would be impossible to
describe. The form of the serpent is like that of a
water-snake; but he has wings without feathers,
and as like as possible to the wings of a bat”

13. PLINY THE ELDER – ROMAN HISTORIAN – 23 AD
• “Wrote in an Encyclopedic work titled Natural History”
• It is India that produces the largest
(elephant) as well as the dragon, who is
perpetually at war with the elephant,
and is itself of so enormous a size as to
envelope the elephants with its folds,
and encircle them in its coils. The contest
is equally and fatal to both

14. PLINY THE ELDER – ROMAN HISTORIAN – 23 AD
• “Wrote in an Encyclopedic work titled Natural History”
• It lies, therefore, coiled up and concealed
in the river, in wait for the elephants
when they come to drink; upon which it
darts out, fasten itself around the truck,
and the fixes its teeth behind the ear,
that being the only place with the
elephant cannot protect with the truck

18. CARL SAGAN - 1977
“The title "The Dragons of
Eden" is borrowed from the
notion that man's early
struggle for survival in the
face of predators, and in
particular a fear of reptiles,
may have led to cultural
beliefs and myths about
dragons and snakes.”
19. JOB 40
15 “Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He
eats grass like an ox. 16 See now, his strength is in his hips, And his
power is in his stomach muscles. 17 He moves his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. 18 His bones are like beams
of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron. 19 He is the first of the ways of
God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword. 20 Surely
the mountains yield food for him, And all the beasts of the field
play there. 21 He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and
marsh. 22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade; The willows
by the brook surround him. 23 Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is
not disturbed; He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his
mouth, 24 Though he takes it in his eyes, Or one pierces his nose
with a snare.
