    About what I said then. How does it mean dinosaurs? Some dinosaurs were as small as a rat.

    I was referring to birds of prey that have large wingspans.

    It means terrible lizard basically. Doesnt always mean huge. For example Raptors were extremely deadly but were only just bigger than man.

    Not sure what you are on about here.

    I was saying before man there will likely of been birds with massive wingspans. Nothing about dinosaurs.

    actually it means terrible or potent

    But the guy who came up with the term dinosauria based it on size. In 1842

    You know the bible doesn't mention cats

    Yip....cats

    So even though there were cats back then they don't get a mention

    Does the existence of cats prove there is no God


    See what I did there

    Cats were highly important to the ancient Egyptians.

    The Christians didny like the Egyptians, possibly cos of the slavery thing, the Egyptians didny like the Christians, probably cos of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat made of cats.

    A lot of **** went down back then. Word.

    Er, no, I'm saying surely it's more reasonable to look at the animals that we know co-exist with man and ask if there are any that might possibly be described as "great beasts", before making assumptions about that term definitely having been used in reference to Dinosaurs.

    you obviously have not been following the debate

    the question was why are dinosaurs not mentioned in holy books

    the answer they are, but not referred to as dinosaurs. In chronological order. seas and mountains, great beasts, man

    response great beasts doesnt mean dinosaur

    answer the guy inventing the word dinosaur did so to portray their size
