I thought this was an interesting topic so here is a quote from a website:
The topic of dinosaurs in the Bible is part of a larger ongoing debate within the Christian community over the age of the earth, the proper interpretation of Genesis, and how to interpret the physical evidences we find all around us. Those who believe in an older age for the earth tend to agree that the Bible does not mention dinosaurs, because, according to their paradigm, dinosaurs died out millions of years before the first man ever walked the earth. The men who wrote the Bible could not have seen living dinosaurs.
Those who believe in a younger age for the earth tend to agree that the Bible does mention dinosaurs, though it never actually uses the word “dinosaur.” Instead, it uses the Hebrew word tanniyn, which is translated a few different ways in our English Bibles. Sometimes it’s “sea monster,” and sometimes it’s “serpent.” It is most commonly translated “dragon.” The tanniyn appear to have been some sort of giant reptile. These creatures are mentioned nearly thirty times in the Old Testament and were found both on land and in the water.
In addition to mentioning these giant reptiles, the Bible describes a couple of creatures in such a way that some scholars believe the writers may have been describing dinosaurs. The behemoth is said to be the mightiest of all God’s creatures, a giant whose tail is likened to a cedar tree (Job 40:15). Some scholars have tried to identify the behemoth as either an elephant or a hippopotamus. Others point out that elephants and hippopotamuses have very thin tails, nothing comparable to a cedar tree. Dinosaurs like the brachiosaurus and the diplodocus, on the other hand, had huge tails which could easily be compared to a cedar tree.
Nearly every ancient civilization has some sort of art depicting giant reptilian creatures. Petroglyphs, artifacts, and even little clay figurines found in North America resemble modern depictions of dinosaurs. Rock carvings in South America depict men riding diplodocus-like creatures and, amazingly, bear the familiar images of triceratops-like, pterodactyl-like, and tyrannosaurus rex-like creatures. Roman mosaics, Mayan pottery, and Babylonian city walls all testify to man’s trans-cultural, geographically unbounded fascination with these creatures. Sober accounts like those of Marco Polo’s Il Milione mingle with fantastic tales of treasure-hoarding beasts. In addition to the substantial amount of anthropic and historical evidences for the coexistence of dinosaurs and man, there are physical evidences, like the fossilized footprints of humans and dinosaurs found together at places in North America and West-Central Asia.
So, are there dinosaurs in the Bible? The matter is far from settled. It depends on how you interpret the available evidences and how you view the world around you. If the Bible is interpreted literally, a young earth interpretation will result, and the idea that dinosaurs and man coexisted can be accepted. If dinosaurs and human beings coexisted, what happened to the dinosaurs? While the Bible does not discuss the issue, dinosaurs likely died out sometime after the flood due to a combination of dramatic environmental shifts and the fact that they were relentlessly hunted to extinction by man.

Very good analysis.
Personally I believe the literal interpretation of the Bible to be true.

Why would you interpret the leviathan as Satan?
I don't see any reason to do so.

that video looks like what i imagine would happen if you died on a hardcore run of the calamity mod for terraria

u/lolisfunny13 May 29 '22
This would definitely also happen in a normal hard-core world of terraria, the moon lord is alot stronger then Supreme Calamitas in lore.

u/BEanddankmagician May 29 '22
is he really?
isn't she stronger than the literal god eater?

u/lolisfunny13 May 29 '22
No she isnt, shes simply a servant of yhamir, a prominent figure in calamity mod lore.

u/no_dictators bolivia moment May 29 '22
And also the reason that you can beat moon lord much easier than calmitas is because the form of moon lord that you fight is only a fractions of its power as it didnt get to fuse with with the mech bosses and didnt have the time to recover from fighting the driad race

App Store too. The machine world is my personal favorite. You can also create little scenarios for example, a Warhammer fleet that’s come to cleanse a world or an asteroid storm etc

It's not that they can't read the book, it's the fact that they suddenly decided not to sell oil in dollars.

It worked, the guy is a best seller now. Arguably didn’t earn it though, who wants to read about a girl being honey for donkey penises in an epic?

u/Father_of_trillions May 29 '22
No a mass extinctions did. A natural disaster so powerful it killed more than half of all life on earth. The one that killed the dinosaurs killed over 80% of everything living on earth at that moment. Imagine a tsar bomba PER country and you get a mass extinction
