This doesn't work if, like most creationists, he figures the
references to "leviathan" and "behemoth" (Job 41:1,40:15 respectively)
refer to dinosaurs. The notes of the NIV I was looking at called them
crocodiles and hippopotamuses. Also, didn't God ask for two/seven of
EVERY kind? That seems to preclude just letting the poor critters
drown.
