Most people here try to carry on conversations with folks like Spherical, as if they were speaking to a rational human being. His psychosis has made it nearly impossible for him to carry on even simple discussions without him diving into his doomsday obsession and predictions, based on hours and hours of viewing lunatics rambling on about conspiracies on their youtube broadcasts.

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.
God is talking to Job about a living animal, that Job is familiar with. What land creatures do we know of today that have tails the size of a cedar tree?
Job 41:1 "Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower? 2 Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook? 3 Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you? 4 Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? 5 Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens? 6 Will your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants? 7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears? 8 Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle-- Never do it again! 9 Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him? 10 No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me? 11 Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine. 12 "I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions. 13 Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach him with a double bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face, With his terrible teeth all around? 15 His rows of scales are his pride, Shut up tightly as with a seal; 16 One is so near another That no air can come between them; 17 They are joined one to another, They stick together and cannot be parted. 18 His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out. 20 Smoke goes out of his nostrils, As from a boiling pot and burning rushes. 21 His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth. 22 Strength dwells in his neck, And sorrow dances before him. 23 The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved. 24 His heart is as hard as stone, Even as hard as the lower millstone. 25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; Because of his crashings they are beside themselves. 26 Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; Nor does spear, dart, or javelin. 27 He regards iron as straw, And bronze as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones become like stubble to him. 29 Darts are regarded as straw; He laughs at the threat of javelins. 30 His undersides are like sharp potsherds; He spreads pointed marks in the mire. 31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 He leaves a shining wake behind him; One would think the deep had white hair. 33 On earth there is nothing like him, Which is made without fear. 34 He beholds every high thing; He is king over all the children of pride."
What living animal is that descriptive of? Sounds like a dinosaur to me.

It could be both sides are correct. That some such creatures as dragons (or "dinosaurs") clearly existed, as these are described in the bible. The dinosaurs displayed in museums, constructed from a couple of unidentified bones (or less) which are securely hidden away from public scrutiny, may well be fake. I have seen insufficient evidence to convince me that the dinosaurs displayed in museums are legitimate.
that's confusion, Spherical.
the body of believers is not your enemy. when they correct you, it is not confirmation that you are right. fellow believers are not "the world"
that's a wicked spirit talking in your ear, telling you that no matter what anyone else says, you should only listen to it and never doubt. telling you that good things are evil.
how i wish, that when your life fell apart, you had turned to God and to the losing yourself in scripture and pursuit of Him!
but it is evident that you needed to lose yourself in something, and you turned to youtube conspiracies instead.
there's no good coming from any of this.
return to God, and He will restore you!
set everything down at His feet -- knowledge of God is the only knowledge that matters.
if every government were to collapse this afternoon, and the world should end by the evening, knowing about that ahead of time would be meaningless. the only thing that could help you is knowing Jesus Christ.
so run after Him -- cut lose everything else, and throw yourself into pursuit of Him!
as long as you live and breathe, it's not to late.
run, run now!

this describes only a very few specimens. it's a false narrative, and ignorant of fact.
full skeletons have been found of a great number of ancient creatures.
for example, the picture below is not "hidden away" -- it's prominently displayed to the public.
and it's not "a couple of unidentified bones (or less)" -- it's a complete skeleton.
stegosaurus was a real, living creature bigger than a car, that God created to walk the earth.
if the existence of beasts like this challenges your preconceptions, then those preconceptions need to be challenged.
this (almost) complete tyrannosaur is in the Royal Tyrell museum in Alberta Canada -- nicknamed "black beauty" the skull in particular is said to be the best-preserved one ever discovered.
the fact is, many complete or nearly-complete dinosaur fossils have been found. many of the same species, too: this is just one of 50 or more tyrannosaur fossils that have been found, and many of those have been nearly complete. we're not just talking about one fossil, which might have been fake, and 100's of copies being made of it.
the one in the picture was discovered by children, and then very publicly and carefully excavated. it's not as though someone just produced it out of their garage and started calling newspapers.
i know the Bible is true. it does not say "there were never dinosaurs" -- i don't know that my understanding of the deep histories hinted at in the Bible are correct.
God did not consider it necessary to tell us all about them in His book -- why not?
what do you think He intends for us, by allowing mankind to discover them?
does He test our faith in Him and His word, to prove us?
does He test our trust in Him?
He says "don't lean on your own understanding"
and by every evidence, these great and terrible lizards were also part of the beasts He created.
will i doubt Him because He didn't tell me about them?
of course not!
but i may doubt that i have so clear of a picture of what He's created in His universe, when, and how and where as i might have thought i had.
my opinion is that the discovery of these things should humble us. God is great, and we are small - what are we that He should even notice us? we know next to nothing, and have nothing to boast about - certainly not knowledge - but only that He has made Himself known to us by His mercy and grace towards us
