Dragons? Now I know there are creationist nutjobs who think dinosaur fossils are actually dragon remains (dinosaurs breathed fire apparently), but does anybody not under the influence of that particular mental virus really believe in dragons? I would be interested in hearing the extraordinary evidence for this extraordinary claim, but it seems extremely unlikely that it would have any substance.

I mean, if dragons were these huge creatures that lived in the times of humans, where are their remains? If they really existed over a swath of land from Europe to China, we'd surely have found some interesting fossils of some sort, right? Some evidence of a dragon meat feast, or a slain dragon kept as a trophy, or just one that died of natural causes somewhere. What kind of biological mechanism could cause them to breathe fire, and how would that evolve?

In order to have a sustained population of fire-breathing dragons, they would be so numerous and so obviously there that no culture that lived around them would ever lack records of them, and we would have found at least as much evidence for them as we have for mammoths. And we would probably have some way to explain why they went extinct somewhere in the historical record.
