Why don't most people believe that were were giants, dinosaurs, unicorns, etc. when it is so WRITTEN??

This is an addendum to an earlier question I raised about the fire-breathing dragon(s) [behemoth] and the Loch Ness monster [leviathan] found in the Book of Job? And supposedly those were quoted from God's own words?

Moses wrote about the giants [Numbers] and again mentioned in Kings/Samuel during David's time... And David's Psalms mentions about unicorns.

    Just because it is written doesnt mean its the absolute truth even if it was in the bible. The bible's contains many stories that cannot be clearly described nor even proved. Dragons and dinosaurs may be due to evidence of fossils which people at that time found and imagination led them to invent creatures that are non existant. Unicorn horns were narwhal tooth that people attributed to a mystical horned horse. Loch Ness Monster might be a serpent like anancondas. Giants are relative, a person standing 8 feet tall might be described as a giant. But often retelling of history is often distorted to make the hero seem more invincible than in real life, his opponent might be made to look fiercer or even larger than life to make the vistory seem bigger than it really was. Take for example the ancient mariners thought that if they sailed far enough they would reach the end of the world and fall off and unknown areas were marked as 'and here be dragons', whales and giant squids were given monstrous visage and called leviathans and krakens so same for bible stories, people find evidence of things they cannot comprehend or truths they cannot explain thus invent stories and tales to justify and explain what they cannot rightly prove nor disprove. Don't take things at face value, there is more to the world than the gospel truth.

    I believe that they existed and I believe that all myths start somewhere. Maybe our ideas of these things dont exist, but something that originated the ideas did. We know dinosaurs existed, yet I havent read a thing in the Bible about them. If people could live 950+ years at one time, I am sure that people could also have grown to 10+ feet. Just because we havent found remains of these giants dont mean they didnt exist, maybe they burned their dead, maybe they ate them- who knows?

    becoz no one had ever see giants or unicorn before.. not even bones or any artifact to prove their existant.. same as sum people had question about god.. is there really is god? is god a man or woman.. no one really knows.. writings doesnt help much to prove existant of anything coz people can simply make up stories...

    Not everyone believes in what the Bible says. Its cool if you do, but that may be why some others don't.

    Some people have no faith. If they can't see it, touch it, smell it or taste it, they don't believe it.
