Fire breathing dinosaur would not be biologically impossible considering we have fish today that make electricity, lizards that change color, bugs that blow up and light up... And you can't really know what animals can do by looking at their bones...
More likely flying and fire-breathing were embellishments or enhancements to the original story, which was of a real and amazing creature. These stories exist in nearly every culture.
@@Roylamx Part of the description of leviathans in Job: His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, As from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth. -Job 41:18-21
@@rayortiz6189 Actually, there are bugs who shoot flames! I apologize, I am not a biologist and so cannot remember their name. But, yes, they exist. I am more familiar with chemistry, and it is easy to combine two chemicals that result in explosions and flames. Kept separate they are fairly inert, combined and perhaps an electrical spark and BOOM! I would explain further but I would be accused of spreading information on how to make IEDs. However, I have done it, and, no, I am not a danger to anyone unless they become dangerous to me, those I love or other innocent people.
So many countries with pyramids, megalithic structures, depictions of what we'd call aliens , global flood stories with a family saved in a boat... the list goes on. We've been lied to about human history!
In the book of Job, God himself describes behemoth and the leviathan which it explains in detail, breathed fire and its eyes even glowed in the waters and no man could intimidate this creature, it was so formidable. I'll stick with that detailed description as part of the truth of dragons.

Except they aren’t the same, not at all. Just look at the distinction between Western and Eastern dragons. Dragons in European art are more the archetypical dragon, while East Asian dragons are depicted with serpent like bodies. Almost likes these creatures are fictional or something.
@@lorddonut3000 Or, almost like there are hundreds of different types of lizards still living today, and the dinosaurs were equally diverse! 🤔 Which we already know from the existing fossil and art records.
Hey, read the description of Leviathon in the book of Job. A deep sea dwelling scaled beast who breathed fire and was un-killable beast. No arrow or spear could pierce it. Now THAT is a dragon.
I am thinking Behemoth represented flesh but Levithan represented spirit because God subdued it for his use. It has to do with water in the spirit and Behemoth had to do with land so that's flesh. The 2 snakes wrapped a round a pole in medicine. This is just my logical explanation each one has its own poison, so it's a dragon.
I’ve been to the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon near the present day city of Hillah. The ancient walls were covered with embossed pictures of a bull, a donkey and yes… a dragon!
My daughter noticed that in all the paintings of St. George killing dragons, the dragons were small. This led us to believe that humans killed the baby dragons, and that's why they died out. There's no way a human could kill adult dragons (the description in Job shows formidable creatures that cannot be killed by men, but babies could be a different story).
Yes, they were most likely driven out and all their young were wiped out.. interesting that medieval times seem to have controversy over time lines and many stories of slaying dragons.. Hollywood has done a great blurring of many things in history.. also all the archeologists proving the Bible correct unintentionally..
Some of the historical depictions of St. George killing the dragon are using iconographic methods and they are depicting an authentic historical situation from a spiritual point of view, the dragon is shown as being small because its depicting that evil is less powerful than God. If you look into eastern orthodox iconography, it is a beautiful and fascinating part of our ancient Christian history!!
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.
The book After the Flood by Bill Cooper is really fascinating. I also never knew that there was written mention of dinosaur - appearing creatures, plus what we call artwork. Much older artwork is a record of the reality around the artist
Dr. Brian Thomas has been writing and presenting for ICR for many years. For me, he stands out for me as a writer who makes sure his articles are easy to read
best video and explanation on dragons that I've seen so far. As a hobby palaeontologist and "mythology" fiend, I completely agree with everything that was said. Historically, the word "dragon" almost always referred to a giant serpentine creature, which matches with chinese lóng, mesoamerican quetzalcoatl/kukulcan, and northern american unkhtehila. 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. And while in Asia the dragon was revered, that didn't stop people from killing dragon offspring for "medicinal purposes", just like tigers and snakes are killed en masse to use their body parts today. This kind of behaviour quickly drives any animal population to extinction.
They have found soft tissue in dinosaur fossils. I think the first time was about 2005. I forget the details but a woman (Professor, Scientist) was doing some testing on a T-Rex bone (fossil) and in the process discovered soft tissue. Her testing included cutting the bone into pieces. That's something most scientists frown upon because you are literally destroying the fossil, and they want to preserve them
@@alwilson3204 I'm not sure, but it proves they are not millions of years old. Thousands of years at best. It's also quite obvious they died in a flood

That's what we say about evolutionists all the time. All the data and imperial evidence and laws of physics contradict evolution. But yeah it's a fact .hahahahhaha
@@starmanm31- wouldn’t it be amusing if it is ‘you’ who is proven, the fool!! Time will tell. Dragons have been seen & recorded in Europe up to the 16th century ad. Kublia Khan had a dragon keeper. Science doesn’t want to believe it.
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.
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.
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 thought this was a very different animal than Nessie who presumably eats fish and swims out to sea even in winter; but maybe that's because we only know of a fraction of encounters. The knucker dragons of southern England came out of holes and were blamed for crop failures so people killed them all, which seems to suggest that's what ALL dragon lore is including St. George's dragon and the red and white dragons of Dinas Emrys!
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
@@paulspence7600 I supposed you believe all those evolution theories even when they change them. In science a theory means it is not proven. If it is proven then it is a law - like the Law of Gravity. So how is your belief system?
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.
Yup. I absolutely believe this. The historical evidence of humans co-existing with giant reptiles is overwhelming. Here there be dragons (in human history).
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.
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.
@@saythatshitinmyface must have been 40 to 50 feet about 4 feet thick in the middle is the part I seen. Hawaiians have been told sence the 1950 s to not tell the story's to outsiders.

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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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 🙂✝️🙏
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.
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.

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?
Salamander if Greek for “fire lizard.” It is believed the name refers to salamander’s tendency to live in deadfall wood, where they would run away when said wood was thrown into a fire. What if it means something else?
Every ancient culture has stories about dragons and a word for them. They don't for dinosaur. Dragons that were able to breath fire mainly but other elemental forces as well. They date back to the Assyrian, Babylonian and Sumerian just to name a few. Dragon appears in all corners of the world.
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.
The description of yahwah in the bible is that of a reptile. In the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh is often depicted as a divine warrior, executing vengeance against his enemies. Some of these texts employ the image of Yahweh as a dragon-like creature who pours forth smoke from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. This article surveys the background of this metaphor by describing deities and monsters that breathe fire in the literature of ancient Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, as well as the dragon-like Leviathan in Job (41.10-13 [Eng. 18-21]). Against this background, the two texts that most clearly exhibit the metaphor (2 Sam 22.9 // Ps 18.9 [Eng. 8]; Isa 30.27-33) and considers its implications for the translation of ’ap in these and other passages (Isa 42.25; Deut 32.22; Num 11.1). Although the LXX and modern translations uniformly render ’ap as “anger” in most of these passages, this article argues that it is more consonant with the dragon metaphor to translate the term as “nose” or “nostrils” (i.e., “the burning of his nostrils”). Could we in fact be the giants depicted in the ancient stories. And those small lizards m8ght in fact have once seemed massive to us before we were hybrids. Just a theory so try not to bash me regarding thos comment. It's all speculation.
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.
