Unicorns in the Bible?

It is not like the story book of Job is a book of fantasy or even science fiction,

It actually is. "Job, a comedy of justice" by Robert A. Heinlein, who also wrote "Stranger in a strange land". We should discuss Heinlein's views on spirituality a lot more here then we have so far.

But Job is not the only place unicorns are referred to. Are you suggesting that the entire Bible is a story of fiction? If so, I challenge you to study Biblical archeaology!! The question remains, why are unicorns referred to throughout the Bible? For what purpose?

Is there only unicorns in the King James Bible?, and no others?
I say it's a translation blunder, nothing more.

At the time when King James Bible was translated, people actually believed in the existance of unicorns. Now we know better.

There are no unicorns, never been any.

Does the bible mention the Loch Ness monster, the phoenix, the dragons?
No, but the KJ bible mention the unicorn. So the JK bible has flaws in its translation. That's my point.

I stated that the book of "Job, a comedy of justice" is also science fiction. I didn't suggest anything.

Actually John mentions a dragon in Revelation as a symbol of Lucifer.

Ah, but not a real dragon, a real biological dragon? With fire from it's mouth and all? Flying abilities, yet a weight far surpassing that of an ostrich? Green with scales?
