Here Be Dragons

In this story, we dive deep into the fossil record and read Job’s eyewitness account of living with dinosaurs. 🦕


In this chapter, we are reading the Bible in chronological order. The last two stories discussed Genesis 1-5, so it’s natural to assume Noah’s flood in Genesis 6-9 happened next. But there’s a subtle clue in Genesis 6 that indicates the events in the book of Job occurred before the global flood. 🤔

Genesis 6: 1 When mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years. 4 The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men.

The NIV Bible calls these half-breed demigods “the heroes of old, men of renown”. I don’t know why we don’t hear more sermons in church on Greek Mythology—the Bible clearly claims there were half-gods in antiquity. The word Nephilim means “mixed”, so all those stories of Perseus, Achilles, and Heracles might just be true after all. We will explore this topic further in:

The important clue about Job living before the global flood is when God limits the lifespan of people to 120 years. Job lived way longer than that. We don’t know his exact age, but Job was married with 10 adult children before his trials began. Then he lost everything, gained it all back again, and lived for 140 more years after that. Here are the last two verses in the book of Job:

Job 42: 16 Job lived 140 years after this and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 Then Job died, old and full of days.

So Job lived before the flood. What’s so fantastic about this subtle detail is that it means Job lived alongside dinosaurs, which was less than ten thousand years ago. 😳

Yes, you read that right. The dinosaurs didn’t die millions of years ago. The dinosaurs were buried alive all at once by a flood less than ten thousand years ago, and the evidence for that is buried in every single fossil on every single continent. Are you thinking there’s just no way you could ever believe that?

Buried Alive

Most people have never actually studied the fossils in the fossil record, so it’s natural to assume that the fossil record was laid down over millions of years. That’s what all the atheist geologists say anyway. The problem with their argument comes from the actual fossils in the fossil record.

Archaeologists find plant and animal fossils inside sedimentary rock, which is the kind of rock that gets laid down in the presence of water over “millions of years” of time. Atheist geologists estimate the Earth needs between 10,000 years and 1 million years to lay down 1 foot (0.3 meters) of sedimentary rock. The problem is all the plants and animals in the fossil record look like they were instantly flash frozen.

Some animals were entombed actively giving birth to their babies.

Some animals were flash frozen eating dinner—they didn’t even have time to spit out their food.

According to atheist geologist, the Earth would need between 10,000 and 1 million years to bury a fish this big. But take a closer look at the delicate little fins on fossilized fish. These animals didn’t die and wait around for ten thousand years without decaying while the sedimentary rock slowly encased them. That’s preposterous.

Check out the paper-thin wings of fossilized insects. They are all perfectly preserved because they were buried alive, just like all the animals.

When I say all the fossilized insects are perfectly preserved, I mean every last one of them. See for yourself. Here is a Google Images search for “insect fossils”. See if you can find an insect fossil on the entire Internet that shows signs of decay.


Isn’t that weird?

No sign of decay for millions and millions of years?

None?

Geologists are not smarter than you—they are just people. Decide for yourself because none of the plant fossils show signs of decay either.

Every plant fossil is laid out perfectly flat, like it was pressed inside a book. Those plants didn’t die and wait around for centuries without decaying while the sedimentary rock slowly flattened them into perfection. 🙄

All the plant fossils look like that because they were buried alive in water. You know how plants stand up tall when they have a lot of water?

That’s because of something called Turgor pressure. When there’s more water outside a living plant than there is inside, each plant cell starts filling up like a water balloon. Every plant in the fossil record is filled with so much water, they look like they are about to explode. Here is a super smart biologist to explain Turgor pressure better than me. Watch Discovering FOSSILIZED Leaves from a Lost Pre-Flood World by Dr. Kurt Wise. (5 mins)

None of the atheist geologists can explain why the ENTIRE fossil record is so perfectly preserved, but it’s pretty simple if those plants and animals were buried alive. If you want to learn more, watch Evidence that Noah’s Flood Formed the Fossil Record by Dr. Kurt Wise. (70 mins)

Which scenario makes more sense?

  1. The entire fossil record shows no signs of decay because the Earth slowly laid down sedimentary rock on top of them at a rate of 1 foot per 10,000 years. 🤨

  2. The entire fossil record shows no signs of decay because the Earth buried them alive all at once in a global tectonic failure. 💯

Dinosaurs Are Recent

The fossil record is entombed in the “millions of years” of rock layers above the Great Unconformity. Here is a diagram of these rock layers from the Grand Canyon. See if you can locate the Great Unconformity:

It’s not unreasonable to believe the rock layers above the Great Unconformity were laid down all at once from a global tectonic failure. Those layers look like they were laid down “in solution” anyway—that’s why they are level.


geologists: If those rock layers weren’t laid down together all at once, then why does the Great Unconformity exist at all?

There’s just too much sandstone spread across North America for all of it to come from beach erosion. Let me know why you think about this lecture on “Geological Myopia”. (42 mins)

You can interpret the exact same geological data two different ways. Either the rock layers above the Tapeats Sandstone were laid down over millions of years of time, or in a few days. I think those layers were laid down fast because the fish inside those layers didn’t have time to spit out their food, moms didn’t have time to finish giving birth to their babies, and none of the plants and animals had time to decay.

See why the dinosaurs might have lived much more recently than we thought?

Whenever I have this debate with smart people they bring up Radiometric Dating, but you should realize that everything you’ve ever heard about radiometric dating is based on some really sketchy assumptions. The same geologist, using the same rock sample, will get different ages from each radioisotope they use within the sample.


The radioisotopes within one rock don’t agree on its age. 😳

Think about that. Geologists have to guess which age is right. Candidly, I doubt the scientific integrity of most geologists now. I don’t think other sciences would express that much certainty in the age of the Earth from observational data that doesn’t agree.

To learn more about the issues with radiometric dating, watch What is Radioisotope Dating? And Can We Trust It? by Dr. Andrew Snelling. (23 mins)

Here is the best lecture I’ve seen on this topic, How Radiometric Dating works: Relative not Absolute Ages. (80 mins)


physicists: I really don’t know how old the Earth is, but I also don’t see how it could matter since quantum mechanics means our world is made out of information. With computers, we can make a world that’s 1 billion years old in a game that’s 10 minutes old.


Perhaps the biggest reason I believe dinosaurs lived only 10,000 years ago is because archaeologists still find dinosaurs with skin and soft tissue on their bones. Skin and soft tissue doesn’t survive millions of years in the ground without decaying—that’s why we bury people in coffins.

Some dinosaur bones still have red blood cells in them and red blood cells don’t last millions of years. Here’s Dr. Mary Schweitzer recalling her shocking discovery of red blood cells inside the bones of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. 🦖 (3 mins)

Here is an article in Popular Mechanics about a 520 million year old insect larva that still has its brain and digestive tract intact. Does that make sense?

Scary Side Note

The reason you didn’t hear about dinosaurs still having skin, soft tissue, and red blood cells in your high school biology class is because your biology teacher didn’t know. I was taught biology in the 1990’s by a biology teacher who was already 50 years old. So he learned biology just after DNA was discovered.

Our science is expanding at an exponential rate, which is why I wrote this book to catch you up. All the science fiction we grew up on is becoming science fact. For example, scientists will definitely be able to bring back the dinosaurs like the movie, Jurassic Park. That’s because DNA is information (like money and reality).

People can already purchase desktop DNA printers without a license that look like this:

Today, these DNA printers can string together any sequence of DNA you want, and they will only get better over time. Thirty years from now, little kids will be able to print their own designer puppies who never grow up. 🥰

And terrorist groups will be able to print their own designer anthrax to target specific ethnic groups. ☣️

An Eyewitness Account

There are a lot of scientific reasons to believe the dinosaurs lived ten thousand years ago, but there’s also a very good literary reason. The book of Job was written thousands of years before the discovery of the dinosaurs. William Buckland, the first professor of geology at Oxford University, didn’t identify the first dinosaur fossil until 1824. Just think about how recent that was. The writer of Job had no way of knowing dinosaurs even existed unless he actually witnessed them firsthand.

Let’s read from Job. See if you can guess which kind of dinosaur this is.

Job 40: 15 Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. 16 What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly! 17 Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit. 18 Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron. 19 It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword. 20 The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. 21 Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. 22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it. 23 A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth. 24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?

The phrase, pierce its nose, means to domesticate it like livestock. Job is right, nobody is domesticating this animal. So which dinosaur has a tail as big as a cedar, eats plants high up on the hillside, and is so heavy that a raging river does not alarm it?

Brachiosaurus. It was the largest land animal to ever walk the Earth. If you don’t believe in the Bible, how do you explain one of the Dead Sea Scrolls having an accurate description of a dinosaur? It was preserved 2,000 years before the word dinosaur was invented.

Let’s read another description from Job 41. Forget Tyrannosaurus Rex, this is the real king of all dinosaurs.

Job 41: 12 I cannot be silent about his limbs, his power, and his graceful proportions. 13 Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double layer of armor? 14 Who can open his jaws, surrounded by those terrifying teeth?

15 His pride is in his rows of scales, closely sealed together. 16 One scale is so close to another that no air can pass between them. 17 They are joined to one another, so closely connected they cannot be separated. 18 His snorting flashes with light, while his eyes are like the rays of dawn. 19 Flaming torches shoot from his mouth; fiery sparks fly out! 20 Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot or burning reeds. 21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth.

22 Strength resides in his neck, and dismay dances before him. 23 The folds of his flesh are joined together, solid as metal and immovable. 24 His heart is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!

25 When Leviathan rises, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw because of his thrashing. 26 The sword that reaches him will have no effect, nor will a spear, dart, or arrow. 27 He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. 28 No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. 29 A club is regarded as stubble, and he laughs at the sound of a javelin. 30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading the mud like a threshing sledge. 31 He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like an ointment jar.

32 He leaves a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had gray hair! 33 He has no equal on earth— a creature devoid of fear! 34 He surveys everything that is haughty; he is king over all the proud beasts.

There’s a reason why ancient people groups all around the world believed in dragons.


Dragons were real.

Tea and Biscuits with Satan

The book of Job has so many wonderful details that we don’t find in other books of the Bible. Job 26 is the earliest known assertion that the world is round, over a thousand years earlier than Pythagoras. It also mentions that God hung the circle of the Earth on nothing, which was a crazy idea until Isaac Newton explained gravity, thousands of years later. Another ancient book found among the Dead Sea Scrolls describes the world before the flood having super advanced technology. We’ll discuss this topic further in,

The most unusual detail we find in the book of Job is a conversation between God and Satan. It’s in chapter 1.

Job 1: 6 One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. 7 The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”

“From roaming through the erets,” Satan answered Him, “and walking around on it.”

8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? No one else on the erets is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil.” 9 Satan answered the Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Haven’t You placed a hedge around him, his household, and everything he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But stretch out Your hand and strike everything he owns, and he will surely curse You to Your face.” 12 “Very well,” the Lord told Satan, “everything he owns is in your power. However, you must not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.

This story is astonishing.

It's cool to see the sons of God regularly present themselves to Yahweh. The Bible claims that all of us, including you, will do this at least once in our future. What’s astonishing is that Satan is free to return to heaven and present himself with the other sons of God. Notice how God doesn’t seem threatened at all by Satan in this story? He doesn’t even seem angry.

The reason God asks Satan if he has “considered” Job is because that was the original function of Satan in Eden, the garden of God. If you read The Invention of Lying, then you know Satan was born wearing the breastplate of judgment to indicate that he was the High Priest in heaven.

In computer science terms, think of the job of High Priest as the Head of Testing, or Quality Assurance (QA). In a factory, they may call it Quality Control. If that sounds weird, consider the job of head pastor at any evangelical church. What’s he trying to do each week? The head pastor is trying to raise the quality and integrity of his entire congregation.

Satan, which means adversary, was perfect at this job because he was created perfect in beauty and full of wisdom. When Satan “considered” anyone compared to himself, he could immediately find all their flaws.

Satan corrupted this function because we all judge others using our own internal motivations. We don’t see other people as they are, we see other people as we are. Notice how Satan assumes Job will curse God if he takes away his abundance in verse 11? That’s because it was the abundance of Satan’s merchandise that caused him to be filled with violence. Instead of being a great leader of all creation, Satan devolved to become the Great Accuser of all creation.

God is so chill in this story that he sounds like he would forgive Satan if he was capable of asking for forgiveness. We know that Satan never repents because of Revelation 12.

Revelation 12: 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Messiah have now come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown out: the one who accuses them before our God day and night.
