Unicorns Preserved in Siberia Yield Analyzable DNA!

[Jerome]

DNA of The Mysterious 'Siberian Unicorn' Has Been Analysed For The First Time

"Until now, our knowledge of the unicorn (Elasmotherium sibiricum) has been stymied....For example, part of a skull that was described in a 2016 paper was radiocarbon dated up to 29,000 years ago, but because there was so little collagen, the result was considered unreliable. So an international team of researchers collected 23 Siberian unicorn bone specimens and subjected them to radiocarbon dating, to see if they could recover DNA"

"for the first time, scientists have analysed its DNA - and realised everyone had been wrong about the mysterious beast....[it] didn't die off 200,000 years ago, before the last Ice Age - as we previously thought. The strange animals survived much, much longer....In fact, they could have lived alongside modern humans."

"the part of the skull where the horn would have grown has been recovered, with an absolutely massive base. Based on comparisons with living horned animals, the Siberian unicorn's horn could have been up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) in length."

Next are you going to say that dinosaurs lived with humans?

 

[Aaron]

Next are you going to say that dinosaurs lived with humans?

I will.

unicorn (Elasmotherium sibiricum)

Wow, that joker was like 10' tall at the shoulder...

In fact, they could have lived alongside modern humans

,,,humans may have been the reason for their demise.

 

[John of Japan]

Next are you going to say that dinosaurs lived with humans?

Why not? All over Europe and Asia there are dragon traditions.

Was that millions and millions of years ago?

 

[Yeshua1]

Was that millions and millions of years ago?

Nope, Dinosaurs lived right up to the time of the Flood!

 

[Yeshua1]

Next are you going to say that dinosaurs lived with humans?

I think someone will be claiming the KJV was right about unicorns!

 

[church mouse guy]

Nope, Dinosaurs lived right up to the time of the Flood!

You don't think that Noah took some dinosaurs on the ark?

 

[Yeshua1]

You don't think that Noah took some dinosaurs on the ark?

Some yes, as the air and sea ones were left on their own outside of the Ark!

 

[church mouse guy]

Some yes, as the air and sea ones were left on their own outside of the Ark!

Everything that flew had to be on the ark.

 

[Benjamin]

Yes, of course, the KJV cleared that up long before this scientific study.

Num_23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Num_24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
Job_39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
Job_39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
Psa_29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
Psa_92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

 

[John of Japan]

Was that millions and millions of years ago?

Well duh. Of course not. What's your point? (I think I know.)

Have you ever met Dr. John Whitcomb or did you ever meet Henry Morris? If you have been to the Creation Museum in Kentucky, you know that they have a festive oriental dragon suspended from the ceiling of the main entrance lobby. There have been a lot of discoveries, as you know, of dinosaur bones with soft tissue still intact, also, which has merely meant that the old earth professors are now saying that tissue can last for millions and millions of years--an idea that the rejected until it became inconvenient. So the dragon stories worldwide suggests that dinosaurs were on the ark with Noah and his wife and three sons and their wives, from whom we are all descended.

Very good. That's the point I was trying to make. Asian and European dragons are very similar, except that European dragons have wings. So the dragon legends are fairly consistent, and the dragons were always contemporaneous with humans.

Never met Whitcomb or Morris, but read their book in my second year of Bible college in 1972. Great stuff and great men.

Looks as if the Vulgate got it right

LXX has μονοκέρωτος as the translation of the Hebrew RE'EM. Look's if the Greek is the origin of UNICORN.

Interesting comments in the article on climate change & it's potential for changing habitat &causing extinction of species.

I do not hold to exactly 6000 years old creation, but do see it much less than millions, much less billions of years!

I have heard that some thought marco Polo saw Dinosaurs being held in large cages by Emperor of China when he arrived there!

Having been lucky enough to have visited the Creation Museum as well as the Ark, I can only say that what persuaded me is that there is no evidence that Adam lived more than about six thousand years ago. I think that science can establish the date of the Flood and the end of the Ice Age and Prof. Douglas Petrovich at The Bible Seminary in Katy, Texas, says that the Tower of Babel was in Eridu (He appeared in the movie Is Genesis History? in a segment filmed at the Oriental Institute Museum on the campus of the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois).

I do hold to a younger date, just not exactly same as the date by the Bishop!
