Is There Any Truth to Dragon Legends? | The Creation Podcast: Episode 44

Dragons are considered by many to be made-up creatures in fairytales and legends, but our ancestors produced many descriptions and depictions of "dragons," some of which match real dinosaur fossils found centuries later. If humans lived with these incredible beasts, doesn't that contradict the evolutionist assumption that dinosaurs died off millions of years before modern humans evolved?
Host Trey and paleobiochemist Dr. Brian Thomas discuss the facts that lie behind the legends.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

    I think the whole "Dragon" thing probably originated from the description of Leviathan in the book of Job. It is a VERY old book that has had plenty time for people to twist and concoct into something that never was. Thousands of years of tales can grow pretty tall. I believe the creature spoke of in that reference must have been the Deinosuchus. Basically a monstrous Crocodile of the pre flood world. The description fits perfectly. But! The one thing that throws me off is the fire breathing reference. I suppose a Crocodile large enough to swallow a hippopotamus whole could probably do with some breath mints. Or perhaps there was a poison element at play as seen with the komodo dragon. ?? That's my best guess regarding "DRAGONS".. (pfft)
