Perhaps Job was experiencing an acid trip.

Shashang,
More seriously, I don't think your Job knows the difference between a dinosaur and a lizard. Unfortunately, humans and Dinosaurs have never coexisted. Blue |

This is one of my favorite parts of the bible stories. This poor guy Job has had a life of misery being used as a test pilot to prove that loyalty comes from love and not from being given a good life.
Then, one time, Job pisses and moans to God about his demise. What does God do? God goes off on Job. I picture poor Job standing there thinking; "what the hell is God talking about? I have never heard of such a creature." If we are inclined to believe in God we must remember that the Hebrew Testamen is stories relating to the relationship between God and the Hebrews. Since dinosaurs were much earlier they would not normally be mentioned. Sounds like God was having a bad day and just decided to rattle Job a bit by throwing in some of His earlier creations. Please, please......this post is written tongue in cheek, so don't get yer panties all bunched up over it |
