I have worked as a volunteer in youth ministry for many years. I have had great conversations with our young adults about creation. The earth, stars, sky , sun, humans, dinos, dragons and everthing…Continue

Evolution and Creation!

Just recently, I really started to study about creation. I have always been more of a bible reader. The bible says it, so it is true mindset. About 8 months ago I became interested in other history…Continue

Colin Newton replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"I have a representation of St George slaying a dragon, which I bought some years ago in Cyprus. The dragon definitely looks like a four-footed reptile, though it has wings which are probably fanciful. It has three front claws and…"
David Thomas Posey replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"You are absolutely right that if dinosaurs are proven to have feathers it still does not follow that birds evolved into dinosaurs for several other reasons. Still, only a couple of theropods have been associated with anything…"
Jim Brenneman replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Did dragons exist? Is there some sort of controversy here of which I am unaware? Of course dragons existed, and they will continue to exist until the events described in the later chapters of the Revelation.

Adam J. Benton replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"The so-called "recycling" of features across kinds is something seen very often, so for birds and dinosaurs to both have feathers yet not have evolved into each other is not without precedent. Humans and gazelle have fur, yet that…"
Richard K replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"The 'feathered reptiles' are held up as transitional forms, which don't even make good examples of transitional forms. Feathers are complete in their structure and scales are complete in their structure and because some birds have…"
David Thomas Posey replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Fish were a terrible example of animals that stop growing. What about Wels catfish? How big can they grow? Of course, no one can say for sure, but the answer is based on food availability and other environmental conditions. …"
Adam J. Benton replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Well, a quick search seems to suggest that several species don't stop growing, but the rate at which they grow decreases the older the organism gets until its almost imperceptible, effectively placing an upper limit on size. But this is…"
Richard K replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Between drawings on caves or stones and the fossil record itself I'm not sure why we would believe that our belief in the existance of dragons is in folklore.
I personally doubt that there was a fanciful dragon that matches the Chinese…"
Adam J. Benton replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"I'm always a bit skeptical of concluding that dragons existed based on their prevalence in folklore. We know people will try and explain events, often making up stories that have little basis in reality. When faced with the choice between…"
Robert Byers replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Dragons were said by the old creationists to be a memory of the talking snake in eden and with it really being satan or understood as evil and snake like it became a common story that was carried on the ark. Then taken everywhere.

Jim Brenneman replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Rob,
What is a dragon?
Once we establish what is meant by the term "dragon," then we can begin to discuss whether they ever existed. There is a creature living today called a dragon (the Komodo Dragon). Then there are dragon flies, and…"
Stephen Boone replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Actually, this is not true. Nearly all reptiles have an adult size that once reached, they essentially cease growth. Even alligators and crocodiles have an adult size that they can't grow beyond. Some tortoises and turtles can…"
David Thomas Posey replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"Just to clarify, I really was meaning dinosaurs as well as other reptiles when I said "real reptiles." My point was just that "dragons" were a known kind of animal (or several known kinds of animals), and were described just like…"
David Thomas Posey replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"It seems like the modern idea based on fantasized literature is that dragons, when they appeared, always caused problems in the area.

Kaitlin replied to Rob Frank's discussion 'Dragons?'"I also have always thought dragons were dinosaurs. There are many dragons throughout different cultures and many dinosaur like art from various cultures. So I think dragons were dinosaurs."

Constance J. Radomski said… - Hi Rob! So sorry to have not "accepted" you since February. Actually, Dot McEntire introduced me to this site and I found it in Feb. and then FORGOT IT EXISTED until she reminded me today via a Yahoo/FB email. DUH! I'm back with a vengeance. If you knew me, (and of course you can...just read my notes on FB and take a peek at my page) you'd know that my heart beats for South Asia, and of course America. FB has given me a "bully pulpit" and a ministry of sorts. I try to encourage the Christians in Pakistan and India. I'm into apologetics and my daughter just signed up for public high school (which I always said would be over my dead body.) What makes you tick?

- Thanks for your kind welcome Rob. I found the Creation Conversations site through Answers in Genesis. If I derive as much blessing from this site as from theirs, I will be truly blessed! Isn't our Creator God wonderful?

Stan said… - Thanks for the note... I just found this site-looking forward to communicating with Like minded folks..
Colorado has some strong Biblical Creationist, but there are still many who are confused. I do a monthly video from AiG in my living room--it has grown to over 45 people in the last year- people do not know how to answer evolutionary views----
Looking forward to chatting later---when I have more time..

- I'd like to hear you sing. do you live right in Branson?
I have the opportunity to be with a Veteran Reunion this summer, there, but usually have host homes, and they can't afford to pay my motel room....like they did 2 yrs ago in Tucson (even paid my plane ticket then)...I can drive from Nebraska. do you know some couples or church members who might have an extra bedroom for three days, that would be close to the Grand Plaza Hotel? I get lost a lot, and Branson roads wind around a lot~.....

Yes, that is snow in Texas! We had a lot of snow (for Texas) in February. This is on our land behind our house.
Have a fun day!
In Christ,
