The beasts mentioned are the dinosaurs genius
More specifically it is the 'big crocks' on the fifth day of the creation.
If the big bang happened on January 1st of the cosmic calendar, dinosaurs were here on December 23rd. We didn't show up until December 30th and at that point we were just monkeys. All of human history only represents the last 14 seconds of the cosmic calendar. Everyone you ever heard of or read about lived in the last 14 seconds of the year. Dinosaurs were living around December 23rd and they died out long before us.
On day 5 of the cosmic calendar the Milky Way galaxy hadn't even formed yet.
Maybe the days of Bible are the 'days' from God's view, and since God is the Alpha AND the Omega, the days are counted from His perspective... and maybe from the ''omega'' view....in other words, looking backwards from 'the actual end of the Universe'... so on the 5th day in the Bible from God's perspective of knowing the WHOLE picture and time frame, could fit perfectly with, the timing of the Days in Genesis/the timing of the final Cosmic Calendar?
Here is what I got from two episodes of the Cosmos with Carl Sagan where it explains the history of our religion. I think it confirms what I"m saying about how the power structure/churches/kings/rulers of our society use religion to keep us stupid.
Because Dutch Holland in the 17th century was tolerant of unorthodox opinions it was a refuge for intellectuals fleeing the thought control and censorship of religious rule in Europe. These free thinking people had an impact on revolutionaries named Paine, Hamilton, Adams Franklin and Jefferson. The Dutch offered a professorship to Galileo who had been forced by the Catholic Church under threat of torture to recant the heretical position that the Earth went around the sun and not vice versa. His first astronomical telescope was based on a spyglass of Dutch manufacture.
Galileo had announced other worlds. Giordano Bruno had speculated on intelligent life elsewhere.
For this they were made to suffer brutally. But in Holland, the astronomer Huygens who strongly supported both ideas, was showered with honors.
One day a long time ago the stars in the sky were promoted to gods. They were given names and relatives and special responsibilities. There was a god for every human concern. Gods ran nature. Nothing happened without the direct intervention of some god. If the gods were happy, there was plenty of food but if something displeased the gods, and it didn't take much, the consequences were awesome: Droughts, floods, storms, wars earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, epidemics. They invented rituals and myths. Some desperate and cruel, others imaginative and benign. The ancient Greeks explained that diffuse band of brightness in the night sky . as the milk of the goddess Hera. We still call it the Milky Way.
Then came the Greek island of Samos 2500 years ago where a glorious awakening occurred. They realized that bad things that happen are not caused by demons or the gods. In the 6th century BC was the first conflict between science and mysticism, between nature and the gods. But why here? Because other societies like lndia or Egypt, Babylon, Rome China, Rome & Mesoamerica were all at the center of old empires. They were set in their ways, hostile to new ideas. But lonia was a multitude of newly colonized islands and city-states. Isolation, even if incomplete, promotes diversity. No single concentration of power could enforce conformity. Free inquiry became possible. What do you do when you're faced with several different gods each claiming the same territory? The Babylonian Marduk and the Greek Zeus were each considered king of the gods master of the sky. You might decide, since they otherwise had different attributes that one of them was merely invented by the priests. But if one, why not both? And so it was here that the great idea arose: The realization that there might be a way to know the world without the god hypothesis. This Greek revolution happened 600 BC. Democritus believed that the prevailing religions of his time were evil and that neither souls nor immortal gods existed. There is no evidence that Democritus was persecuted for his beliefs. But then again, he came from Samos. However, in his time, the brief tradition of tolerance for unconventional views was beginning to erode. Another contemporary named Anaxagoras, taught that the moon was a place made of ordinary matter and that the sun was a red-hot stone far away in the sky. For this, Anaxagoras was condemned . Convicted and imprisoned for impiety. People began to be persecuted for their ideas. The mystics were beginning to win. It was guys like Plato and Pythagoras who kept science and math from the masses.
Plato expressed hostility to observation and experiment and taught contempt for the real world and disdain for the practical application of scientific knowledge. Plato's followers succeeded in extinguishing the light of science and experiment. Plato's unease with the world as revealed by our senses was to dominate and stifle Western philosophy. Even as late as 1600. Athens, in the time of Plato and Aristotle had a vast slave population. All of that brave Athenian talk about democracy
applied only to a privileged few. Plato and Aristotle were comfortable in a slave society. Their way dominate Western thinking for more than 20 centuries.
Suppressing the facts. Thinking that science should be kept fora small elite. The distaste for experiment, the embrace of mysticism, the easy acceptance of slave societies. Their influence has significantly set us back. The books of the lonian scientists are entirely lost. Their views were suppressed, ridiculed and forgotten by the Platonists and by the Christians, who adopted much of the philosophy of Plato. Finally, 2000 years later, after a long, mystical sleep .
in which the tools of scientific inquiry lay moldering, the lonian approach was rediscovered. The Western world reawakened. Experiment and open inquiry slowly became respectable once again.
Aristarchus in Samos, three centuries after Pythagoras held that the Earth moves around the sun.
He correctly located our place in the solar system. For his trouble, he was accused of heresy.
These are ideas that we ordinarily associate with the name Copernicus. But Copernicus seems to have gotten some hint of these ideas by reading about Aristarchus.
