這肯定是上古時候所謂的噴火龍.

從上述的經節來看, 我個人相信神不用誇飾法來形容萬物, 不然約伯怎能心服口服?

而且, 如今仍然有一種蟲叫做"炮兵蟲".....Bombardier Beetle

http://faunanet.gov.au/wos/factfile.cfm?Fact_ID=165

這種蟲能夠噴出超過100度C (212.F) 的高熱來擊退敵人.

所以神曾經造過噴火龍也不是不可能.

如今的螢火蟲, 燈籠魚, 電鰻....etc. 都有特別的化學作用在它們身上.

也許有人會問, 那麼當時後的"恐龍"如何與人類共存?

在大洪水之前, 人類只吃蔬菜水果, 人類並不吃肉的.

神第一次下命令可以吃肉是在大洪水之後.

創世記
9:2 凡地上的走獸和空中的飛鳥都必驚恐，懼怕你們，連地上一切的昆蟲並海裏一切的魚都交付你們的手。
9:3 凡活著的動物都可以作你們的食物。這一切我都賜給你們，如同菜蔬一樣。

但是, 同時, 動物們的態度也被改變了, {創世記 9:2}

也就是說, 在這{創世記 9:2}之前 , 動物不會攻擊人類, 也不會傷害人類, 所以, 人類可以安全的與恐龍相處也是理所當然.

真是有趣的文章啊！

那恐龍是什麼時候滅亡？

當然是大洪水的時候嘍
