Megalodon teeth abundant in a west Java village, how does Bible explain this ?

God gives us more than the Bible. Science has natural physical evidence that God gives us to study and learn to better understand our Bible.  I am 70 years old. I have studied Science and I have studied the Bible a lot. Sometimes up to 12 hours a day. 

You need to look at "whole earth" because that is a translation that needs to be examined. You need to study the Original Hebrew Bible. Strong's is a wonderful reference and resource for this. You many find the Hebrew word Adamah. There is a Hebrew word for the Earth:  erets. There are times in the KJV where Adamah is translated earth instead of using the word ground. 

We see this twice in Genesis chapter 4. The KJV uses the word earth, when the translators should have used the word ground. Earth can mean ground, but this confuses you when you think this is a reference to the whole earth, not just the land God gave to Adam. 

"Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

Genesis 4:14
HEB: מֵעַל֙ פְּנֵ֣י הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה וּמִפָּנֶ֖יךָ אֶסָּתֵ֑ר
NAS: from the face of the ground; and from Your face
KJV: from the face of the earth; and from
INT: and from the face of the ground your face will be hidden

We need to read the Hebrew Bible for ourselves. WE can not trust the translators, who did not have the science and the facts that we have today. Also, we need to extensively study the Hebrew alphabet to better understand our Bible. 

I spend hundreds and hundreds of hours doing research and study. People want to argue something they have not even put five minutes doing research and study on. Clearly, we are told to study to show yourself approved. (2 Timothy 2:15)

 

Hebrew translators are experts in the language.  The vast majority of Christians are not.

Strong's is primarily a concordance, with basic glosses of Hebrew and Greek words.  It is not a resource used by experts...

That is the thing. Most Christians are not aware of how dependent we are on the Rabbi helping us understand the Hebrew Bible. I do believe that the KJV has the authority of God but there are a lot of problems with it as a translation. We are told: "God watches over His word to perform it".

The global Flood, in Noah's day, covered the whole Earth with water, killing millions of creatures and covering them rapidly with layers of sediment, producing fossils.  The water then receded, leaving many of these fossils on what is now dry land.

The basic animal kinds were preserved on the Ark.  They then dispersed, after the water receded.

There have also been many geological changes since the Flood, and some places that are now separated by water, were once connected by dry land, so that animals could migrate.

But Rhinos live at lowland at southwest Java and not destroyed by the flood.

[TrueFollowerOfChrist]

The Bible clearly doesn't list EVERY single animal he created. But we know he did create all of them. Some species probably died or in the food, others were killed of by man. I don't know when megalodon died out, but I'm glad it did. I wonder what Adam and Eve thought about it, if they saw it.

[Starise]

There is info out there that may indicate the Megalodon still exists.

Then along came skeptics to disprove all of it.

Until I know, you won't find me swimming off of Cape Town or in the waters off of Australia.
