Abstract

Senter makes a convincing case against Behemoth being a dinosaur in Job 40. He also deals with arguments for Leviathan and where elsewhere theologians have sought to categorise dinosaurs in scripture. I argue that, from the perspective of philosophy of science, we cannot conceive of dinosaurs in scripture seriously and it is time to lay the debate to rest for reasons other than translation.
