This one's easy. The word means to fill, to make full, to fill a place with anything. To be filled, to be full. To be fulfilled or completed.

Sometimes things like this happen because it doesn't make sense any other way, but this doesn't look like one of those times from a quick glance. I don't know they the translators used replenish here vs fill. Maybe it meant something different in KJV English than it does now (this happens to be pretty common in the KJV).

Yep. Seems to be the case.

Interesting reading if you're so interested. :)

Yes. I also believe they are mentioned in the Bible. See the "descriptions" of "Behemoth" in Job 40:15-24, of "Leviathan" in Job 41:1-34, and in Psalms 74:14. Some people and translations have this as a hippopotamus and crocodile. However, look at these two creature's description in the Bible and you will see that there is no way it can identify those two animals as a hippopotamus and a crocodile.

They have found fossilized footprints of men and dinosaurs together.



We have primitive peoples with us today. Some of these aboriginal peoples could be called "cavemen" in the sense that they live a very primitive lifestyle. Therefore there has always been 'cavemen' on the earth.



Cavemen were never destroyed - they are still with us. As far as dinosaurs, see Ps 74:14 Yet, everyone not in the Ark was destroyed with the flood.



Maybe it should be asked, "What does the Hebrew mean in Gen 1:2 where it (the Hebrew) could also correctly be translated, "the earth "had become" without form and void?""

BAH!

Dey were just put in da ground to confuse us by the devil!

After all, my sons "ark" playset don't have no 'dino-soes' on it. Only elephants, giraffs, and lions.

I can understand to some degree about the primitive lifestyle of some today relating to the caveman.
When you said "They have found fossilized footprints of men and dinosaurs together" that's the caveman I'm speaking of.
I think something happened on day 5 in creation, that caused the dinosuars and what ever else was here to be destoryed.
Could it have been when Satan was cast down to earth?
The in verse 28, go and replenish (Hebrew; fill) the earth again.

I don't beleive that is was the flood that done the Dino's in.

Been hard to get some of them on the Ark.

But, there is no *again* to that word in verse 28. It's fill. Period. Not fill again, not what we use the word replenish for now. Fill.

Actually, all evidence points to the flood being local but "worldwide" as far as humanity was concerned since everyone but Noah was killed.

There have also been extinction events where over 90% of species were destroyed as a result of meteor strikes. Just looking at the size of the craters shows that the impact would not have resulted in "colder Winters" but rather world wide chaos and near total darkness because of the energy released.

You think all those fossils are fake? Or, what are you asking?

I think there's a lot about the world we still don't know, and creatures still alive we haven't discovered yet.

Nahkoe, I want to revist Gen 1 for a second. KJV verse 27 "So God Created man....male & feamle created he them." Ending of day 6. Then in Gen 2:5 "...there was not a man to till the ground." This seems to be after day 7.
Verse 7 He formed man of the dust of the ground.

It seems something happened along the way.

Not just 'colder' but the whole Earth was frozen for many years.

I do believe they existed.

I really haven't studied creation a whole lot (recently). I'll get to it sometime. :)

Oh, fwiw, I don't believe in a literal 7 days. I think that's one case where the word would have been better translated as a length of time. But that'd be awkward so "day" was used.

A 20 ft croc will have possibly lived 80 - 100 years. Before the flood we see where men were living over 900 years, so it is possible that reptiles could have lived and grown as long. A 300 year old croc would have been huge!

I have been taught that only land creatures & fouls were on the Ark. Fish were not. A croc can live in water yet has to come up for air just as whales. The problem with croc coming from the dinosaurs age with me is where did they rest. That's a long time in the water for them to make it with no land to reat on. Were there trees floating around and they got out of the water to rest? I don't.
