Quote (t8 @ Feb. 20 2013,10:00) As for that mythical horse from the 15th century, that is French I think. The French didn't create the KJV, the Brits did. So it is possible that while the British used the term Unicorn to describe a Rhino as testified by the first Websters Dictionary, it could have become that horse due to the way the French or those on the continent used that word. It is also possible that the mythical horse in that art work was not called a Unicorn at all, but some French word. And the title of that came much later and after its discovery. Whatever the truth about that, it has no direct bearing on the fact that the Rhinoceros was called a Unicorn and a Unicorn was known as a Rhinoceros.
We often see on Coat of Arms, mythical creatures and that particular art work might have got its name after the Unicorn changed to a mythical horse. If not, it still doesn't change the fact that Websters Dictionary refers to Unicorns as Rhinos. Admit it, 200 years ago, the first Websters Dictionary does not say that a unicorn is a white mythical horse and given the KJV is 400 years old, then as the video aptly demonstrated, you cannot apply your understanding of Unicorn to the KJV Bible's meaning of it.
The mythical horse-type unicorn was first described by Ctesias in the 5th Century BC. I admit nothing about the Webster myth that you have copied and pasted from creationists like a dog with a plastic bone.Stuart

Is it not the job of a dictionary to list words in use and what they mean in their usage.How can it be a fraud if it fulfills that description.
The word “wicked” for example is defined as “evil or morally wrong”… But it also is used in the following:
playfully mischievous: a wicked sense of humour
wonderful: Sophie makes wicked cakesThe dictionary is not making a mistake here, it is only telling you what words mean in its varying uses.
Probably time to get over it Stu.
It's a fraud because it should correct the ungrammatical use of language, like the Oxford Concise does.Stuart
Quote (t8 @ Feb. 20 2013,10:32) Except that I take it you are guessing that the KJV people knew Unicorns as white horses. Websters Dictionary backs up the view that they would have been thinking Rhinos.
No it doesn't. The compilers of the KJV knew perfectly well what the mythical unicorn was all about. It's very clear from the notes they made in the margins. Webster's dictionary is wrong.Stuart
In case anyone happens to be playing along at home, t8 has copied his material wholesale from a source such as this creationist website: http://www.creationtoday.org/why-does-the-bible-mention-unicorns/.
It's basically his ignorance from laziness on display here.

Look Im pritty sure Big spirits cant understand our small minds.
Or
Small Minds can't reconize Big Spirits…It's okay Stu, I can see you are very irritated by the facts.
And flogging a dead horse is not going to make it stand up and gallop.
Can I suggest that you spend about a month reading through this topic and then you will be able to build a picture as to what has happened. There is enough info here for you to understand what is going on. Denial is not the way forward and nor is rejecting everything that you don't like.
Surely only a loon fights reality. Reality is not constructed from your likes and dislikes Stu. If reality doesn't suit you, then it is you who needs to change, not reality.
I will leave you to it. Good luck.
But I might pop in from time to time to assist you in understanding creation. I know this is a topic where you struggle a lot. But remember, study and an open mind will help you.
For now I have to give you an F. But I am sure you can attain an average score of C if you really try hard.

Thanks for the lecture.Keep up the good work relying on copying and pasting from creationist morons.
Ke?

Ha. Did you think that was me in the video. It is the video that says this. And rather than transcribe the video, I found the text instead. The purpose was to show you what you overlooked in the video, not to pass off the text as my own. Read my post again. It cleverly saved me the time of typing out the words in the video that is all. You should read my posts correctly.If you misunderstood that, then what else are you misunderstanding?
