And, yes, there were unicorns in the middle east before Christ's advent. But what the unicorn is is still up to debate. I don't think its a wild ox like the new versions footnotes say but rather perhaps a distinct species like a large rhinoceros or (as Kent Hovind proposes) a triceratops or one of its kind of family.

Right, because unicorns and rhinoceroses don't look even the slightest bit different.
Face it, people, the Bible is wrong.
The Babble mentions many mythical beasts, the unicorn among them. Even if they were calling actual animals by these names, just how does that prove any of the bullshit in that great book of fairy tales as true?
Unicorn - small, horsey white creature with a single horn; or small horsey white, black, and red creature with a single horn.
Triceratops - massive, lizardy brownish creature with three horns and giant bony collar around its head.
Glad we've cleared that up. Now will you accept that Hovind is a total quack?
If your idea of a reliable source of information is Kent Hovind, it's no wonder you accept the idea of a unicorn.
Intelligent people, however, prefer the "it's a myth" explanation.
Okay, let's have a crash course in prefixes here. "Uni" is very different than "tri". They refer to entirely different things. When you apply them to animals then, you have two very different animals.
Sounds reasonable. I, for example, believe that the Loch Ness monster is a leviathan that got trapped in a Scottish lake after the great flood receeded. The reason we don't see them today is because the Illuminati secretly killed the leviathans and behemoths to fool us into thinking they weren't real.
Tool.
"And, yes, there were unicorns in the middle east before Christ's advent."
The references to unicorns in the KJV, Geneva and other Bibles are just artifacts of the time in which those Bible versions were created. To prove otherwise, I invite you to present aome credible fossil evidence of unicorns.

A colorful image translated from the Hebrew word meaning wild ox, but not a wild ox.
"but rather perhaps a distinct species like a large rhinoceros or (as Kent Hovind proposes) a triceratops or one of its kind of family."
Except that A. No dinosaur species, save birds, co-existed with human beings, and B. No one should be listening to Kent Hovind anymore. His track record has disqualified him from any serious attention.

I love unicorns. I have books of unicorn tapestries, unicorn heraldric crests, unicorn paintings, unicorn drawings, and unicorn prints. Not a single damn one of them can be mistaken for an ox, a rhinoceros, or (WTF) a triceratops. Hell, they don't even look much like horses with horns. That is because they never existed.
What about Dragons? Where do they fit into this?
And the Centaurs, Goblins, Manticores, and Gryphons?
Oh, yes, you should pay attention to Kent, because he NEVER lies, denigrates science, or in any way misrepresents anything he says.
And you should have him help you with your taxes. Kent is such an expert on US taxes, the government has awarded him with free room and board for 10 years, an honor reserved for those who demonstrate such detailed knowledge. I'm sure if you follow his tax advice, you can join him in such luxurious surroundings.
Confused?
