CMIKEFF: Edits & Explanations 09.12.06

"Did mystical beasts in the Bible exist?" removed. This is neither information, nor does it present evidence in support or against the proposition.

"* Dragons [Prov 34:13]

• Satyrs [Prov 34:13]"

removed. Proverbs 34, as quoted by the original author, DOES NOT EXIST.

"* Cockatrices - creatures that are half bird and half snake and that kill with their glance [Prov 11:8]" removed. Proverbs 11:8 does not mention creatures of any kind. This entry should be removed until an accurate source is provided.

"Giants - races of giants that reach over 13 feet in height [Gen 6:4]" edited. Although the athor was correct about this particular reference, there is no indication of a given height, nor do most translations of the Bible refer to them as 'giants'. This has been edited to appropriately index these beings.

": "The Bible (at least the KJV) treats such fictional animals as unicorns, cockatrices, dragons, satyrs, and fiery or flying serpents, as though they really exist." removed. The author fails to give credit to whomever he is quoting, making this quote entirely irrelevant.

"Unicorns [Ps 22:21]" expanded to include information on the origins and controversy.
