I totally agree with Shadow X.
How do we know that Dragons are unreal? There is no proof..To me, they're more logically realistic than Dinosaurs. How can we be made to believe in the existance of creatures such as dinosaurs and not Dragons? Well...apart from the evidence... Okay..i know im contradicting myself a lot in this post but the point im trying to make here is very simple. What proof is there showing that Dragons are unreal or never even existed in the first place? If they are unbelievable because of being common in Fairy Tales, then so be it. Thats a childish point of view, if i do say so myself, (no offense to anyone) and if they werent in Fairy Tales, would you, or would people, rather, believe in them? |

I dont believe there were dragons such as the ones you see in video games or gigantic huge ones that fly around the sky making towns cower in fear or something. It might be something that resembled it i guess...and from there they just over exaggerated some of its features but then causing the world to belive these creatures were real

As much as I love mythical lore, I think dragons fall into the same catagory as teh abonitable <sp> snowman and big foot. They were some odd disfigurment of nature and people blew it out of proportion. Not unlike the ever elousive Lochness monster...

QUOTE(Kid Saiyan @ Sep 28 2005, 11:38 PM) I totally agree with Shadow X. Have you thought about the fact, that dragons look suspiciously much like dinosaurs? They’ve just got a pair of wings and have the ability to burn things down just by their breath.How do we know that Dragons are unreal? There is no proof..To me, they're more logically realistic than Dinosaurs. How can we be made to believe in the existance of creatures such as dinosaurs and not Dragons? Well...apart from the evidence... Okay..i know im contradicting myself a lot in this post but the point im trying to make here is very simple.

Thats a childish point of view, if i do say so myself, (no offense to anyone) and if they werent in Fairy Tales, would you, or would people, rather, believe in them? The “fire ability” could very well be some sort of folklore. I mean, you can’t proof the fire breath, unless you find a living dragon. And if we look at it in a biological way the dragon would get severe burns if it was flying around spitting fire at everything. Now, if you find a dinosaur with a pair of wings, it would probably (at least in the press!) be recognized as a dragon. But until somebody finds this creature or a fossil, the creature remains a myth. |

One of the most common, and certainly the most debatable question in circulation over dragons is, "do they exist?". Despite being repeatedly asked, a satisfactory conclusion has never really been offered. The reason is primarily because everyone has a different viewpoint on dragon existence, and due to the controversial nature of the topic, we have so far only really been faced with contradiction. To date, theories regarding dragon existence have ranged from a physical, literal presence; the idea that dragons used to roam the earth but were wiped out by chivalrous knights or human advances. Others believe that dragons are little more than a mixture of the untamed forces of nature and human imagination, or that dragons exist on the astral plane, or that they have found their home in our imaginations.However, this is more likely to be a cultural similarity [the forehead is a very generic area], rather than anything to do with the dragons themselves.)
Also, when we really look at the "dragons" of the ancient world, we see that they are in fact little more than modified serpents; such as Quetzalcoatl (or Kukulkan the "Plumed Serpent"), Jormungand or the Mother Serpent. Not only this, but classing some creatures under the dragon title is subjective because the term is not inclusive. This is not to say that dragons themselves could never have existed, it merely means the logic that dragons must have existed "because they are found all over the world" isn't accurate. If we concentrate on the idea that dragons physically, in their most literal sense did once roam the world (and that's why they feature so regularly in mythology and folklore), then we can instead take a look at why they no longer co-exist with us. There are two standing theories detailing their disappearance or exinction, and they both focus on human intervention |
