But you eschewed the fact that in most cultures, the usual reaction to the appearance of a dragon was to go after it and kill it.

This kind of behaviour quickly drives any animal population to extinction.
In answer to the question "What were ancient people describing?", the Mokele Mbembe dinosaur of Africa which has been seen by people still living today comes out of underground burrows and kills humans with its tail even thought it's a nocturnal vegetarian, a very different image than sauropods grazing peacefully like bison.

I believe the carnivorous dragon (dinosaurs) were depicted in medival art as winged just like the fallen angels that spawned them. The dragon dinosaurs shown without wings are God's original plant eating creations.
@@lolasimmons9152You only saw the Bible cover to judge verses you never read EVER. From the OT bible to the NT it does in fact mention great (winged and unwinged) serpent like beings, dragons, monsters (dinosaur like) scally, huge in appearance including levhitan, beheamoth, even to the strange dragon beast of revelations rising out of the sea.
If flying dragons existed, they may have had bones similar to birds that don't fossilize well, because they're thin and hollow. But I believe that they called all things giant lizard, dragons. Like we call them dinosaurs. Dragons = Dinosaurs
Yup. I absolutely believe this. The historical evidence of humans co-existing with giant reptiles is overwhelming. Here there be dragons (in human history).
That shows that the depicted being is from(met within) the spiritual realm...just like angels often are shown with wings whereby only the archangels have wings
Thank you so much for the video. I just subscribed to the channel, having received the Acts and Facts magazine for some time, and the videos enable me to keep current on creation science news while "multitasking" during my busy day. Can I humbly point out that the tradition of burying a BIshop under the church is not strange, but goes back to the burial of St. Peter at St Peter's Basilica. I am a Bible believing Eastern Orthodox convert who went to school for ecology and evolution, so the topic of biblical creation is very important to me.
There's tissue found in some of the buried remains. The tissue can't remain for the length of time textbooks have said. I didn't hear if that was covered but it's discussed by scientists who discuss the former interpretations of timespan suggested by radio-carbon dating.
Marco Polo a 13th century explorer gave a descipton of the dragons he saw in China. As described, they sound remarkably like a T-rex with their short stubby arms. Polo's description is as follows from Chapter XL of the Thomas Wright translation ("On the province of Karazan"): "Here are seen huge serpents, ten paces in length, and ten spans in the girt of the body. At the fore−part, near the head, they have two short legs, having three claws like those of a tiger, with eyes larger than a fourpenny loaf (pane da quattro denari) and very glaring. The jaws are wide enough to swallow a man, the teeth are large and sharp, and their whole appearance is so formidable, that neither man, nor any kind of animal, can approach them without terror." Polo then mentions how these "serpents" live in caverns, and drag themselves to bodies of water ("to drink"). Polo then gives a very detailed account of how they were supposedly hunted, the medicinal uses of its gall bladder, how highly esteemed the meat was, and then...moves on to horses. No mention of pets that I see.
He called it serpent like, which a T-Rex definitely was not like. Also, T-Rex had 2 fingers not 3 like he described. It's also important to remember that he thought unicorns were real, which turned out to be rhinos, and that he thought a bird existed that could swoop down and take off with elephants. No such creature ever existed, and he wouldn't confuse a pterosaur for a bird either. Humans love embellishing things, there's no reason to take what he said literally, as he likely made up stuff to make whatever he saw sound cooler.
@@hylaherping9180 So dinosaurs with three claws did not exist? I find it incredible that you try to say you know what did and did not exist when you weren't there yet Polo was. A serpent is part of the lizard family as were dinosaurs / dragons.What is certain is that the dragon was part of the Chinese Zodiac. Marco polo described what could be described as type of dinosaur...a type of creature that has been depicted on walls, artwork and textiles across the globe.
@alantasman8273 Dinosaurs with three claws did exist, but it wasn't T-Rex. Dinosaurs are not part of the lizards. Dinosaurs are archosaurs which include crocodilians, pterosaurs and birds. Lizards are lepidosaurs which include Tuatara and snakes. I know this isn't the first time I've told you this. Any look at any of the fossils of the theropods I mentioned would definitely make you think they were more bird like than lizard like. Dinosaur are not lizards, nor closely related to them. And don't even get me started on what the heck turtles are closely related to.
The reason there aren’t any flying dragon fossils is maybe because they were killed off before the flood or their numbers weren’t so great that it’s unlikely we would find one.
I think dinosaurs were forced into extinction sometime after the Tower of Babel incident. After God forcibly spread out humanity away from Babel, humans spread out across the globe and gradually slew dinosaurs to protect their settlements and as a food source. The Book of Job describes what may very well be dinosaurs, and since the events in that book took place a mere 500 years after the fall of the Tower of Babel, we know dinosaurs were around at least as late as then.
Dinosaurs are still around. Birds are dinosaurs. The sauropod may have gone but the avian theropod are still around. They evolve beaks and able to fly. A chicken share it’s DNA with a T-Rex. Maybe we should re-evaluate the whole thing about extinction of dinosaurs.
Dragons and dinosaur are the same animals. The word dinosaur was created in 1841. So before 1841 when someone was talking about a dinosaur they said dragon.
Ooooh now we get to see the long version of the short. Ok. You are such a blessing to the body of Christ ICR. So grateful for this ministry. Thank you 🙂✝️🙏

If they existed in our time, as in the medieval times and biblical times, where are the bones? Where are the skulls? Surely, someone would have kept trophies... 3:46
It was in 1841 and formed from the Greek words megas, meaning “great,” and sauros, meaning “lizard.” Yet, the Holy Bible mentions dragon many times, never a dinosaur.
While not a dragon with a flamethrower in his craw the bombardier beetle shoots a burning chemical out his...stern. I understand there is a dinosaur with sinus cavities that don’t seem to be sinus cavities. Maybe this was where the dragon’s fire came from. Maybe the Greeks secretly domesticated dragons and milked them for Greek fire. That was a joke.
Well, we do still have some examples of Dinosaurs around. We have alligators, crocodiles, cayman, Komodo Dragons, and Iguanas. Just imagine if an Iguana were 5 or 10 times the size it is. That would be very scary to us humans. Also, birds like the Emu and Ostrich look a lot like some "dinosaur" fossils.
All birds are dinosaurs because birds are theropods, but lizards, Crocodilians, turtles and snakes are not dinosaurs, they are just different lineages of reptiles. Crocodilians are the closest living relatives to birds, and both are archosaurian reptiles while lizards and snakes are lepidosaurian reptiles. Turtles are neither, instead being a more distant older lineage.
@alantasman8273 Birds existed before dinosaurs that lived during the cretaceous period. But Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic period. It's not conjecture, you just didn't understand paleontology. It does mean that scientists known and never claimed that T-Rex turned into a chicken though, because T-Rex was a cretaceous species. If you thought dinosaurs turned into birds to escape the extinction event at the end of the cretaceous, you're wrong. Birds are the only surviving lineage of dinosaurs, and they lived alongside dinosaurs from the mid jurassic to the end of the cretaceous. The other branches of the dinosaurs never turned into birds.
@@hylaherping9180 Even Stephen Jay Gould said that there are no transitional fossils to substantiate the claim you made. Quote: “The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our text- books have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.
i would say that someone discovered a dinosaur skeleton and they imagined what we are familiar with today as dragons way before we knew anything about dinosaurs
Several explorers, such as Marco Polo, and many historians ; wrote about their own, or others specific encounters with “dragons”! The descriptions are amazing, and anatomically accurate.
The more we learn, the more we realize we have been lied to our entire lives. Thank you creationists for being used by God to open our eyes to the truth.
Why exactly would everyone lie? Science is evolving and if these were real more people would be talking about it, because it would be cool af if it was
I think they put wings on them to signify they were dead. Same as they did with people and we think they was depicting angels but they just signifying that the person or animal has died and gone on to Heaven. They think we get wings when we get to Heaven so they signify the dead with wings… and let’s not forget the dragon slayers. That was a real career back then. It’s humans fault they went extinct, we killed them off to take over their lands and dragon slayers were the ones sent in to kill them
In the mythology, dragons don't breathe fire. They breathe Amonia and chemical breath the burned like fire. Splitting up Hydrochloric acid and venom Wouldn't even be difficult Biologically. A creature that Flys would have hollow bones or cartridge structure like a rat and that would not fossilize.
In order for flight the bones would have to be hollow as those of birds. This would all but eliminate their fossil history unless one were eventually discovered frozen.
So why couldnt Adam & Eve have lived in the garden for 65 million years before being tricked into eating the forbidden fruit? They were, after all, immortal before then.
Known as terrible lizards. If a lizard can just keep growing and they find 400 yr old sea turtles, then imagine how big a lizard whos hundreds of yrs old can grow in size.
What bothers me most is how creations are so bent on disproving evolution but absolutely and complete ignore the order of creation before breathing life. It's in oppossition to the heliocentric model.
I just finished reading 'After The Flood' by Bill Cooper who quotes numerous ancient writings on the large lizard like creatures that lived all over Europe, and in the waterways. There were colorful small ones that flew that lived in flocks in the deep woods and swamps, and would regularly raid chicken yards. If birds are descendants of dinosaurs, why couldn't their timelines crossover with both types present together?
Where did all the dragons go? They died out in the flood. The depictions of dragons are just large pterodactyls, they stood 10ft tall with a 30 ft wingspan. The fossils and the rock strata which contain them were formed all at once during the flood through the process of liquefaction.
Carl Sagan wrote a book on Dragons called "The Dragons of Eden" in which he acknowledges that many cultures did have depictions of and stories of dragons. In his rather twisted logic, he thought his was due to memories from their evolutionary past.
I don’t believe we have record of people discovering dinosaur fossils until the early 1800s. And even then, it is really rare to find a fossil complete enough to be able to come up with an idea of what they looked like. It would take a lot of archaeology - or a bunch of almost impossible discoveries- to come up with the many legends that exist in every continent. If Marco Pollo swore on his death bed that his sightings of dinosaur-like creatures was real, that is one instance where the claim has to be taken seriously.
@@jzarbaugh People have been finding fossil bones for thousands of years. Native Americans created many legends about the dinosaur bones that they found. Ben Stanhope has a video explaining this. Look him up
@@jzarbaugh Sometimes I think we see into things what we want to see. I remember looking at a security camera one night after we had been talking about ghost sightings from quite rational people, then seeing these ghosts on the cameras! But I did not log it because I wanted to keep my job. There were no ghosts, but my mental state at that time was leaning that way, so I saw it. It made a good story though. Do dinosaur bone hunters see things others miss? Did evolutionary tales and its baggage and the education system encourage tall stories and a way of thinking? I do wonder. Big bones, big animals for sure, but what?
Wrong modern peoples have depiction of them riding dinosaurs in their artwork . This can be found in artwork all around the world evolutionarily theory is false ,The Bible is correct.
Dragons did not necessarily breathe fire like ancient text talk about. Example the bombardier beetle can spray a liquid at 210° and people that have been sprayed say it "burns". Burns without fire? People that have encountered the spitting cobra say that its spray Burns, again with no fire. Ancient people who heard the word - burned - had only the reference of fire. It is simply a matter of misunderstanding.
What about Leviathan breathing fire? We may never discover these truths in our lifetimes, but if there's an afterlife, I suspect that the dragons depicted in medieval times will turn out to be true, wings and all.

If you look into eastern orthodox iconography, it is a beautiful and fascinating part of our ancient Christian history!!
@@laurasimmons7098 I see. Thank you for explaining that.
Don't forget unicorns, unicorns are real also. And while we're at it, flying reindeer, flying monkeys, and flying lions are all real also. I've seen pictures of all of them in books, so they must be real.

I believe the carnivorous dragon (dinosaurs) were depicted in medival art as winged just like the fallen angels that spawned them. The dragon dinosaurs shown without wings are God's original plant eating creations.

The wings on them probably meant @ least some could fly-

Brilliant intro
If flying dragons existed, they may have had bones similar to birds that don't fossilize well, because they're thin and hollow.
But I believe that they called all things giant lizard, dragons. Like we call them dinosaurs.
Dragons = Dinosaurs
Yup. I absolutely believe this. The historical evidence of humans co-existing with giant reptiles is overwhelming. Here there be dragons (in human history).
That was very interesting 😊
Thank you! Great historical examples!
The guest failed to mention that last remaining Dinosaurs/ Dragons were HUNTED and KILLED.

Wonderful information...Thanks for sharing Dr. Thomas!
Hahahaaa😊😊 you are a true detective, Doctor
You pull out the questions and the answers 😊
Great video! I just subscribed.
dude what the heck? i was thinking about this yesterday, then it showed on my feed?
17:01 wings on dragons
In medieval art, it was common to depict many animals with wings: lions dogs, men...
Every culture has a flood story!
That shows that the depicted being is from(met within) the spiritual realm...just like angels often are shown with wings whereby only the archangels have wings
see day 6 of creation.....your fight is there....
Thank you so much for the video. I just subscribed to the channel, having received the Acts and Facts magazine for some time, and the videos enable me to keep current on creation science news while "multitasking" during my busy day. Can I humbly point out that the tradition of burying a BIshop under the church is not strange, but goes back to the burial of St. Peter at St Peter's Basilica. I am a Bible believing Eastern Orthodox convert who went to school for ecology and evolution, so the topic of biblical creation is very important to me.
There's tissue found in some of the buried remains.
The tissue can't remain for the length of time textbooks have said.
I didn't hear if that was covered but it's discussed by scientists who discuss the former interpretations of timespan suggested by radio-carbon dating.
This is my favorite topic
Awesome.. knowledge will lift ignorance
Than you! Very interesting!
Another great interview. Thanks!
There are cave paintings showing dinosaurs/dragons living along side humans.
Marco Polo a 13th century explorer gave a descipton of the dragons he saw in China. As described, they sound remarkably like a T-rex with their short stubby arms.
Polo's description is as follows from Chapter XL of the Thomas Wright translation ("On the province of Karazan"):
"Here are seen huge serpents, ten paces in length, and ten spans in the girt of the body. At the fore−part, near the head, they have two short legs, having three claws like those of a tiger, with eyes larger than a fourpenny loaf (pane da quattro denari) and very glaring. The jaws are wide enough to swallow a man, the teeth are large and sharp, and their whole appearance is so formidable, that neither man, nor any kind of animal, can approach them without terror."
Polo then mentions how these "serpents" live in caverns, and drag themselves to bodies of water ("to drink"). Polo then gives a very detailed account of how they were supposedly hunted, the medicinal uses of its gall bladder, how highly esteemed the meat was, and then...moves on to horses. No mention of pets that I see.
He called it serpent like, which a T-Rex definitely was not like. Also, T-Rex had 2 fingers not 3 like he described. It's also important to remember that he thought unicorns were real, which turned out to be rhinos, and that he thought a bird existed that could swoop down and take off with elephants. No such creature ever existed, and he wouldn't confuse a pterosaur for a bird either. Humans love embellishing things, there's no reason to take what he said literally, as he likely made up stuff to make whatever he saw sound cooler.
@@hylaherping9180 So dinosaurs with three claws did not exist? I find it incredible that you try to say you know what did and did not exist when you weren't there yet Polo was. A serpent is part of the lizard family as were dinosaurs / dragons.What is certain is that the dragon was part of the Chinese Zodiac. Marco polo described what could be described as type of dinosaur...a type of creature that has been depicted on walls, artwork and textiles across the globe.
@alantasman8273 Dinosaurs with three claws did exist, but it wasn't T-Rex. Dinosaurs are not part of the lizards. Dinosaurs are archosaurs which include crocodilians, pterosaurs and birds. Lizards are lepidosaurs which include Tuatara and snakes. I know this isn't the first time I've told you this. Any look at any of the fossils of the theropods I mentioned would definitely make you think they were more bird like than lizard like. Dinosaur are not lizards, nor closely related to them. And don't even get me started on what the heck turtles are closely related to.
The dragon is the symbol of wales, its on the national flag 'a blood red dragon on a field of green' as roger waters describes it.
it has been used since the reign of Cadwaladr, King of Gwynedd from around 655AD.
Wow very interesting podcast guys 👍
The reason there aren’t any flying dragon fossils is maybe because they were killed off before the flood or their numbers weren’t so great that it’s unlikely we would find one.
Very possible.
I think dinosaurs were forced into extinction sometime after the Tower of Babel incident. After God forcibly spread out humanity away from Babel, humans spread out across the globe and gradually slew dinosaurs to protect their settlements and as a food source. The Book of Job describes what may very well be dinosaurs, and since the events in that book took place a mere 500 years after the fall of the Tower of Babel, we know dinosaurs were around at least as late as then.
Dinosaurs are still around. Birds are dinosaurs. The sauropod may have gone but the avian theropod are still around. They evolve beaks and able to fly. A chicken share it’s DNA with a T-Rex. Maybe we should re-evaluate the whole thing about extinction of dinosaurs.
Dragons and dinosaur are the same animals. The word dinosaur was created in 1841. So before 1841 when someone was talking about a dinosaur they said dragon.
Wow this was awesome! Just subscribed To the channel
A mix of pterodactyl and brontosaurus bones found together would give an imagination of a dragon

The last two books have not been written yet but it is safe to say that wild dragons may exists somewhere else in the World of Ice and Fire. Maybe in Sothoryos of in the Lands of the East, beyond Asshai.

Well that explains the recent wildfires.
If you get a bunch of earthquake nuts...your welcome! This was great!
If they existed in our time, as in the medieval times and biblical times, where are the bones? Where are the skulls? Surely, someone would have kept trophies... 3:46
in China, dinosaur fossils are called "dragon bones", so there you go.
There is actually TRUTH to the dragon legends, i know this as a FACT!!! I live with her.
😂😅🤦♂️
It was in 1841 and formed from the Greek words megas, meaning “great,” and sauros, meaning “lizard.” Yet, the Holy Bible mentions dragon many times, never a dinosaur.
Dino-saur means terrible lizard in Latin.
@@dreamscapesflstudiomobile Exactly.
While not a dragon with a flamethrower in his craw the bombardier beetle shoots a burning chemical out his...stern.
I understand there is a dinosaur with sinus cavities that don’t seem to be sinus cavities. Maybe this was where the dragon’s fire came from. Maybe the Greeks secretly domesticated dragons and milked them for Greek fire. That was a joke.
I'm gonna have to get a quad .50 machine gun for dragon season, I guess. But how do you mount one on your wall?
Well, we do still have some examples of Dinosaurs around. We have alligators, crocodiles, cayman, Komodo Dragons, and Iguanas. Just imagine if an Iguana were 5 or 10 times the size it is. That would be very scary to us humans. Also, birds like the Emu and Ostrich look a lot like some "dinosaur" fossils.
All birds are dinosaurs because birds are theropods, but lizards, Crocodilians, turtles and snakes are not dinosaurs, they are just different lineages of reptiles. Crocodilians are the closest living relatives to birds, and both are archosaurian reptiles while lizards and snakes are lepidosaurian reptiles. Turtles are neither, instead being a more distant older lineage.
@@hylaherping9180 Birds existed during and before dinosaurs. Dinosaurs did not become birds...that it a recent conjecture that has no merit.
@alantasman8273 Birds existed before dinosaurs that lived during the cretaceous period. But Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic period. It's not conjecture, you just didn't understand paleontology. It does mean that scientists known and never claimed that T-Rex turned into a chicken though, because T-Rex was a cretaceous species. If you thought dinosaurs turned into birds to escape the extinction event at the end of the cretaceous, you're wrong. Birds are the only surviving lineage of dinosaurs, and they lived alongside dinosaurs from the mid jurassic to the end of the cretaceous. The other branches of the dinosaurs never turned into birds.
@@hylaherping9180 Even Stephen Jay Gould said that there are no transitional fossils to substantiate the claim you made. Quote:
“The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our text- books have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.
Funny how that supposed comet was so precise in keeping those creature and other mammals alive in a purported extinction event.
I thank alligators and crocodiles same jawline as a dragon

Good job Ole boy!
i would say that someone discovered a dinosaur skeleton and they imagined what we are familiar with today as dragons way before we knew anything about dinosaurs
Mastodon skulls were imagined to have been the skull of the legendary Cyclops.
I am surprised u put up no pictures to go along with the topic, showing the evidence that is out
Please include the Loch Ness monster next time you talk on this subject!
Several explorers, such as Marco Polo, and many historians ; wrote about their own, or others specific encounters with “dragons”!
The descriptions are amazing, and anatomically accurate.
The more we learn, the more we realize we have been lied to our entire lives. Thank you creationists for being used by God to open our eyes to the truth.
Why exactly would everyone lie? Science is evolving and if these were real more people would be talking about it, because it would be cool af if it was
@@BurloBrandoVonBando Why? Aren't you aware that evolutionists hate the Bible and all it stands for? Wake up.
I think they put wings on them to signify they were dead. Same as they did with people and we think they was depicting angels but they just signifying that the person or animal has died and gone on to Heaven. They think we get wings when we get to Heaven so they signify the dead with wings… and let’s not forget the dragon slayers. That was a real career back then. It’s humans fault they went extinct, we killed them off to take over their lands and dragon slayers were the ones sent in to kill them
great insight !😎

@@glenhildreth6712 modern day dragon slaying lol I live in Louisiana, we got them “dragons” too pretty bad lol
Look for pictures of Crystal Mountain in Egypt, Mudfossil dragon in Morocco and feathered serpent in the Midwest and Eastern US.
In the mythology, dragons don't breathe fire. They breathe Amonia and chemical breath the burned like fire. Splitting up Hydrochloric acid and venom Wouldn't even be difficult Biologically. A creature that Flys would have hollow bones or cartridge structure like a rat and that would not fossilize.
In order for flight the bones would have to be hollow as those of birds. This would all but eliminate their fossil history unless one were eventually discovered frozen.
at about 17.00 some may have had feathers hence the wing depictions
Fascinating. Great work. Thank You for all of your efforts. Subscribing & ringing the bell now. Again, well done, sir.

You guys know the picture on the front is not a dragon it’s a wyvern fight?
All wyverns are dragons (like Smaug), not all dragons are wyverns.
I have a cool picture I took at a Navajo reservation of dinosaur prints walking with human prints
Good talk fellas 💪
Hey brother! 😊☝️
So why couldnt Adam & Eve have lived in the garden for 65 million years before being tricked into eating the forbidden fruit? They were, after all, immortal before then.
We do not actually know the timeline of the bible. A day in the wording of the bible does not necessarily equal a day in our current time.
Known as terrible lizards. If a lizard can just keep growing and they find 400 yr old sea turtles, then imagine how big a lizard whos hundreds of yrs old can grow in size.
Rather intriguing. It comes to the point that some angels laid with the daughters of mankind

What bothers me most is how creations are so bent on disproving evolution but absolutely and complete ignore the order of creation before breathing life. It's in oppossition to the heliocentric model.
Hey! Love your work ICR!
Have you considered getting in touch with Kent Hovind?
I just finished reading 'After The Flood' by Bill Cooper who quotes numerous ancient writings on the large lizard like creatures that lived all over Europe, and in the waterways. There were colorful small ones that flew that lived in flocks in the deep woods and swamps, and would regularly raid chicken yards. If birds are descendants of dinosaurs, why couldn't their timelines crossover with both types present together?
Where did all the dragons go? They died out in the flood. The depictions of dragons are just large pterodactyls, they stood 10ft tall with a 30 ft wingspan. The fossils and the rock strata which contain them were formed all at once during the flood through the process of liquefaction.
Could easily be.
"Dragon" comes from the Greek word "DRAKON." By substituting the "k" for a "g" - you get "dragon."
So by this interview you are saying that Dino’s survived the flood?
Cold Blooded😂😂
Carl Sagan wrote a book on Dragons called "The Dragons of Eden" in which he acknowledges that many cultures did have depictions of and stories of dragons. In his rather twisted logic, he thought his was due to memories from their evolutionary past.
All dragons were , were the fossils of dinosaurs and people stories to explain them and then stories to bolster their reputations !
I don’t believe we have record of people discovering dinosaur fossils until the early 1800s. And even then, it is really rare to find a fossil complete enough to be able to come up with an idea of what they looked like. It would take a lot of archaeology - or a bunch of almost impossible discoveries- to come up with the many legends that exist in every continent.
If Marco Pollo swore on his death bed that his sightings of dinosaur-like creatures was real, that is one instance where the claim has to be taken seriously.
@@jzarbaugh yes the record is the stories of dragons that's your record !
@@jzarbaugh People have been finding fossil bones for thousands of years. Native Americans created many legends about the dinosaur bones that they found. Ben Stanhope has a video explaining this. Look him up
@@jzarbaugh Sometimes I think we see into things what we want to see. I remember looking at a security camera one night after we had been talking about ghost sightings from quite rational people, then seeing these ghosts on the cameras! But I did not log it because I wanted to keep my job. There were no ghosts, but my mental state at that time was leaning that way, so I saw it. It made a good story though.
Do dinosaur bone hunters see things others miss? Did evolutionary tales and its baggage and the education system encourage tall stories and a way of thinking? I do wonder. Big bones, big animals for sure, but what?
Wrong modern peoples have depiction of them riding dinosaurs in their artwork . This can be found in artwork all around the world evolutionarily theory is false ,The Bible is correct.
Dreams are the real beginning of everthing
We have bombadier beetles that produce there on fire thru combustible gas’s, so it’s possible.
Dragons did not necessarily breathe fire like ancient text talk about.
Example the bombardier beetle can spray a liquid at 210° and people that have been sprayed say it "burns". Burns without fire? People that have encountered the spitting cobra say that its spray Burns, again with no fire. Ancient people who heard the word - burned - had only the reference of fire. It is simply a matter of misunderstanding.
Space X Great Red Dragon.
What about Leviathan breathing fire? We may never discover these truths in our lifetimes, but if there's an afterlife, I suspect that the dragons depicted in medieval times will turn out to be true, wings and all.
As they live in the deep oceans they are probably still there.
