What about all the discoveries of dinosaurs, prehistoric beasts and cavemen?

-

it's not purpose of bible.

bible kind of near-east bronze age encyclopedia. includes laws, history, cosmogony , beliefs of people wrote it. it's treasure history, it's not paleontology book. shouldn't blame writers being wrong sometimes: had no technology, no telescopes, no microscopes etc.

however, there truth behind legend.

dinosaurs.
seems, civilizations have discovered dinosaur skeleton built dragon legend after it. leviathan hebrew version of dragons.

cavemen
50 million years ago there no men, in caves (primates still looked rodent then). there evidence of multiple different species of humans 50 thousand years ago.
neanderthals became extinct between 30 (last remains) , 24 (last artifacts) thousand years ago.
however, it's hardly norse mythology beings or nephilim in bible came through oral tradition neanderthals or denisovan hominins

adam & eve.
legend obvious allegory of neolithic revolution. if there real people behind characters, neolithic homo sapiens: former hunter-gatherer settled somewhere in near-east , started new civilization based on farming less 10.000 years ago.
not first humans on earth, first civilized humans in near-east.

flood.
didn't mention it, account of flood in genesis , in epic of gilgamesh accurate description of maybe biggest climatic disaster humanity have had face: black sea event 7.500 years ago, when mediterranean sea water rushed on large part of near-east, creating call black-sea.
exaggerated: disaster global not on whole world (they didn't know planet is) global on civilized world (the near-east)

does bible explain of this? there evidence of multiple different kinds of cavemen , existed 50 million years ago. means adam , eve werent first humans on earth... wrong?

Is there such thing called a winged spider?

-
of all's answers comical, least. however, have clarify things amateur biologists, here. arachnids classified such having 2 segments bodies, not number of legs.solpugids arachnids, yet have ten legs, , no venom. solpugids include such animals "sun spiders" , "camel spiders" (which massive, , qualify writers call "nightmare fuel"... trust me... few tours in iraq, have seen several of these things). insects have 3 segments bodies. insects have 4 legs... 6-legged flying instects have 8 (yep... wings count "legs") or 10, depending on number of wings. pic in question, photoshopped, sure. no species of arachnid has wings. , if closely, hymenoptera wings.... bee wings, actually. if recall opening monologue "bee movie" (shut up... have kids), you'd recall line says "wings small, , wrong shape", or words effect. if bee can barely manage flight, spider similar wings wouldn't able waft own farts (if spider digestive...
