The World Before the Flood. (Page 2)

XFixYourBrainX
XFixYourBrainX: In the very beginning of earth's history, this planet was a giant, red hot, roiling, boiling sea of molten rock - a magma ocean. The heat had been generated by the repeated high speed collisions of much smaller bodies of space rocks that continually clumped together as they collided to form this planet. As the collisions tapered off the earth began to cool, forming a thin crust on its surface. As the cooling continued, water vapor began to escape and condense in the earth's early atmosphere. Clouds formed and storms raged, raining more and more water down on the primitive earth, cooling the surface further until it was flooded with water, forming the seas.

It is theorized that the true age of the earth is about 4.6 billion years old, formed at about the same time as the rest of our solar system. The oldest rocks geologists have been able to find are 3.9 billion years old. Using radiometric dating methods to determine the age of rocks means scientists have to rely on when the rock was initially formed (as in - when its internal minerals first cooled). In the infancy of our home planet the entire earth was molten (melted) rock - a magma ocean.

XFixYourBrainX: First, "Behemoth" cannot be a Hippo or an elephant, because of Job 40:17, "He bends his tail like a cedar." Hippos and elephants have short tails like a pig. A Behemoth had a large tail shaped like a cedar tree (large and tapered). I believe a better choice is that a Behemoth is a Brachiosaurus type of large land dwelling dinosaur. It fits the description perfect

Naboo_the_Enigma: Its been prooven that volcanos oftentimes start under the oceans, plate techtonics are pushed up by natural movement and hot magma to make mountains.
Land masses are also constantly moving at the rate of the growth of finger nails.

Naboo_the_Enigma: Bible verses are so vague that any meaning could be attributed to them. Behemoth was probably a whale. Or it could be any other mythological creature that was in fashion around the time of the bibles creation.
Just dont understand if god knew of the existance of dinosaurs he doesnt mention them in the same way he mentions, dogs, asses and snakes etc.
All these answers just arent robust enough to satisfy me.

XFixYourBrainX: You have to understand when the Bible was written the way they explained things were very much different than the way we explain them. The people had to explain them as best they could, also the type of language, and how much education they had also had to do with how they explained things, these things have to be taken into account. Different languages and different meanings in those languages are very much different and less advance than the worlds languages today.

XFixYourBrainX: A good example of how people had to explain things the best they could is this.

A prediction by Nostradomus;

Near the gates and within two cities
There will be scourges the like of which was never seen,
Famine within plague, people put out by steel,
Crying to the great immortal God for relief.


OK, this one is hard to dispute.

Let's face it. It's an accurate description of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "Scourges the like of which was never seen," people "crying to the great immortal God."

With that said, this verse is accurate because it cheats a bit on the specifics. Critics charge that it's so vague that it could also be used to describe a whole host of wartime atrocities during any of many wars that took place between Nostradamus' time in the 16th century and today ... or even the future.

Naboo_the_Enigma: Seriously, if u interpret Nostradamus the same way u do the bible than u are seriously misguided.

That quatrains of Nostradamus are are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power. Moreover, there has been no evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains specifically enough to allow a clear identification of any event in advance.

That passage u quote could refer to a number of locations, or events...for example, the two cities could be Dresden and Berlin both bombed to oblivion during WW2. Or cities destroyed due to natural disasters...the interpretations are endless.

I also urge u not to use material ny Nostradamus if u want to be taken seriously, in the future.

XFixYourBrainX: Here is an example. If someone had the ability to see into the future, what would they say about airplanes?

Maybe they would say this; "there are people that are in big shiny metal birds."
