I just attempted to find the missing posts by searching, by hand, my activity record through my bio screen. My posting record ends four weeks ago. Here is the link to one thread: http://christianchat.com/christian-family-forum/50666-dinosaurs-after-flood.html But I found this through Google advanced search. From now on, this is how I will do it. Apparently, no threads are lost from the site, but only from the search engines within the site.

And thanks for being so on top of this, RoboOp.

It's amazing how much we lost when CC converted to the new front end. I was going to direct you to threads where I posted all this before. So now, I'm going to have to answer all the questions again. Dinosaurs are the results of experiments conducted by the nephilim prior to producting the giants.

FAQ's:
Behemoth means "animal kind". It is the plural of the word for beast, not a specific animal.
There are only a handful of dinosaurs ever discovered; most are fantasy recreations by musem curators.
Nephilim is an office, not a creature. They made the giants as enforcers, such is the testimony of the ancient writers and archeological artifacts.
Are you saying these beings Nephilim had creative prowess like God?

I think he is talking about the same thing we do today: playing around with the genes to get mutated creatures.

No, they had served God originally, got angry with Him, and invited demons to possess them. The demons taught them modern genetic science, and they began making mutations as our scientists have done, but for a different purpose. They wanted world domination, and the giants were an army that would help.

Then why don't we have dinosaurs today? We can only go so far with mutation, and it's always losing genes, trading existing genes, but never gaining them.

So do you think this biblical fact or just a theory?

It agrees with the bible and with archeology, but there is not enough proof to be certain. It is the theory of the ancients, who of course were closer to the day than we are now. There are some games you can play with the Hebrew OT to suggest it is true, but again, nothing conclusive.

Ok so what you are saying is that you can't prove it or disprove it with the bible...What is this "theory of the ancients"? Do we have writings from them? We don't even have the original manuscripts of Scripture, and these ancients would be way before the 1st Century.

Kenisyes, that's a very strange theory. I don't know what to think.

Ovid's metamorphoses tells the story as I told it, except the demon part. The Book of Enoch tells the story, except the enforcers' part. Those are both contemporaries of Jesus. Pliny tells us that a dinosaur skeleton found in Judea shortly after Jesus' time was considered manufactured. The Mayan Popul Vuh follows the Egyptian names of the giants, which comes from the words for manufactured, and is derived from "children of the shepherds", the name given in the book of Enoch. These names go back to the earliest dynasties. Sumerian cylinder seals show babies being born from the goddess in what looks like a chemical laboratory, these date from pre-Abraham. Nothing that is proof, since all could be copies of an earlier fairy tale, but there is a consistent story that does not contradict the Bible.

The problem with Biblical proof, is that the libraries were destroyed just before 400AD. The old explanations were forgotten, and it is only in the last 30 years we can even conceive this idea. Meanwhile, we have 1500 years of Scripture Scholarship that never suspected what certain Hebrew words might mean, and so all our books tell us they mean something different. We naturally have all been trained from those books, as have all the translators of the Bible. We just follow what we are taught.

i looked for decades until I found something that worked. This is the only one I found that I can't disprove either with archeology or with Scripture.

Well, thanks for putting up with me, I just can't find myself in agreement...

Cfultz, thanks, mate. I changed it yesterday (but I live in Australia). I thought it was time I showed my face.

Kenisyes, that wasn't a criticism. I find your posts fascinating but there's just a lot to take in. Also, readjusting my understanding doesn't come easily or quickly when you've been taught something altogether different throughout your life. But I appreciate your posts, I really do. I've been reading your Crop Circle pages and they're very interesting and thought-provoking. I've never considered such thoughts but your theories sound quite reasonable. Thanks again! :)
