15 "Look at Behemoth,
which I made just as I made you;
it eats grass like an ox.
16 Its strength is in its loins,
and its power in the muscles of its belly.
17 It makes its tail stiff like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are knit together.
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs like bars of iron.

19 "It is the first of the great acts of God —
only its Maker can approach it with the sword.
20 For the mountains yield food for it
where all the wild animals play.
21 Under the lotus plants it lies,
in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh.
22 The lotus trees cover it for shade;
the willows of the wadi surround it.
23 Even if the river is turbulent, it is not frightened;
it is confident though Jordan rushes against its mouth.
24 Can one take it with hooks
or pierce its nose with a snare?

Alrighty then. This interesting passage from the Bible came up a few weeks ago during my youth group.

Now, if you read carefully, it appears to be describing a dinosaur, or at the very least an enormous animal.. There is no living animal that I can think of that meets a description like this. An elephant is large and has a tail, but not one that is comparable to a cedar tree... Anyways, I just wonder what you guys make of it. I personally think it is a dinosaur...but I'll say why later. Oblivion calls 8)
 
While I'm not a zoologist by any means, but I'd say dinosaur sounds plausible.

I thought perhaps some kind of sea creature, but if it lies under lotus trees, that's not likely.
 
Very possible. Although the timeline in which dinosaurs were alive hasn't interested me much. I can't elaborate on the subject... :-\
