Hey All,

I figured I’d post something everyone, both believers and non, could enjoy as a sort of share-chat. I don’t dwell on the age of the earth too often, but I cannot deny earths layers clearly and evidently present us with countless remains of astonishing beasts and animals that walked on our beloved planet. but to get to the point, if you could choose. All the way to the Archean Period to the Holocene(Now) what creature would you pick?

Mine personally Id pick either the Short-Faced bear, The Megatherium, or the Irish Elk. I can’t think of any others at the moment but I’ll update with responses!

Some people interpret Job 40 as Biblical basis for Dinosaurs.

On the other hand-

As my Scripture professor told me, leviathan was basically God's pet ;)

Loch Ness Monster AKA Nessie

in reality: the pterodactyl, even though some don't consider them "dinosaurs."

They are not Dinosaurs. They are Pterosaurs. They are both in the clade Ornithodira but are not the same. Dinosaurs are have distinctive features of the skeleton like a window-like opening in the pelvis where the thigh bone connects. Pterosaurs don’t have this joint, and they have their own unique features such as extra-long fourth fingers that support their wings.
