The reason there are so many legends of dragons all over the world
throughout history is because people were seeing them. (The fact that many
descriptions of dragons were distorted or exaggerated and many stories of
dragons were embellished with religious themes doesn't discredit the fact
that dragons existed any more than the stories of "Goldilocks and the Three
Bears" and "Little Red Riding Hood" discredit the fact that bears and wolves
exist.) There have been tens of thousands of dinosaur sightings even within
the last 200 years.
One reason people can't believe that could be true without being common
knowledge is because people can't comprehend how BIG the earth is. ALL
7 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH (if they stood side-by-side, in rows) could
fit on an area of land no bigger than the island of Hawaii. Look at a globe
and see how much land is left over! Much of the earth is not pleasant to live
on (deserts, jungles, swamps, etc.) so much of it remains unexplored. Many
species of animals remain undetected. Scientists discover animals all the
time that they didn't know existed. Many countries don't bother to inform
other countries about their native wildlife until asked. And most people in
"third-world" countries don't have the means to inform anyone outside their
locality. And when reports of dinosaurs do get out, the miseducated media
immediately disregards or mocks the witnesses, citing the assumed "fact"
that dinosaurs went extinct long ago.
Between the late 1800s and today, living Plesiosaur-like marine dinosaurs
have been seen and photographed in or near Scotland, England, Sweden,
Japan, Panama, Canada, and the United States. There are Apatosaurus-like
dinosaurs living in a Florida-sized swamp in the Congo in central Africa.
Something similar was sighted in the Dilolo swamps nearby in Angola. A 7
to 9-foot stegosaurus-like lizard with triangular plates on its back was seen
in Kenya. Diplodocus-like dinosaurs were seen in Bolivia and Peru. (One
killed was 39 feet long.) Pterodactyls 4 feet wide are often seen in the
Congo, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and two islands in Indonesia. Larger
Pterodactyls have been seen in Washington, Alaska, Venezuela, and Papua
New Guinea.
If someone mocks the FIRE-BREATHING dragon in Job 41:18-21 (and
possibly Isaiah 30:6) and assumes it to be mythical, he should be made
