"If you didn't have the fossils, you wouldn't believe that such an animal would have ever lived,"

Yes, as a matter of fact you could discern that such creatures lived by the nearly universal dragon legends that come from virtually ALL ancient cultures. I believe at one time, these creatures and man coexisted. Weirder discoveries have happened. As when previously long extinct species, turn up somewhere when they should have died off long ago.

Isn't it interesting that, not only do all depictions or dragons look alike, they virtually ALL have wings! What are the odds of that? You can draw a picture of an imaginary lizard all you like, but why in the world would you give it wings?

Do most cultures depict these dragons as dangerous? For example, the "fire-breathing" dragon that most of us in the West have heard/read about - is that what other cultures believe as well? Just curious.

I agree. Creationism makes a lot more sense than evolution. It took me a while to come to that conclusion, but after I broke free of the government school indoctrination it all came together.

The article calls this the modern analog.

Actually, about zero, because it's not true. I take it you've never seen Chinese dragons?

No wings. Chinese dragons throughout history are virtually never depicted as having wings. You can see lots more examples here.

That's not a dragon. It's a wyvern...

Aren't most dragon stories told about people who lived "back when"--even when they were told "back when?" Might not they have found thunderlizard fossils themselves?
