17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. {He...: or, He setteth up}

19He {is} the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach {unto him}.

20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

22The shady trees cover him {with} their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

23Behold, he drinketh up a river, {and} hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. {he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth}

24He taketh it with his eyes: {his} nose pierceth through snares. {He...: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?}

Is that from the bible? Or some other religious text.

The bible is a great book and I say that as a non-believer. I find it hard to understand why some athiest treat it with such disgust.

The stories are awesome.

Yes, it's from the biblie

Jó Chapter 40

He meant radiometric dating.

Again it's been a while since I studied this stuff but don't that just deal with aging rocks etc.?

I don't see what that has to do with the OP's argument when he is talking about dating living biological ( or now dead ) organisms.

Maybe there is a connection but I don't see it. Help.

That has everything to do with his argument: fossils ARE rocks. Specifically, they are mineralized bone. All ancient remains are mineralized, meaning we can use the technique to determine the age.

They treat it with disgust because a lot of people (such as the person you quoted and the OP) treat it as scientific and historical fact rather then as a spiritual guide. They use it as a way to deny science and be willfully ignorant of the world around them and its history. That being said, that's unfair to the Bible and Christianity, and atheists can be incredibly arrogant in their own right. That's why I personally subscribe to agnosticism these days.

Lack of knowledge regarding the historical context, translations, religious metaphores and semantics as well as overall point, history and priorty of Christianity would be my guess.

Of course, fundamentalists like OP who hate and deny clear scientific progress and evidence and believe science contradicts God aren't helping either
