Its a hit piece from the Huffy Puffy to make the anti-Christian haters have fuel..same crap Jew,etc haters do.
Anyway the Bible does mention dragons and there is much debate about them..in some descriptions they are very akin to Giant Pythons.
St John of Damascus wrote of them as merely very large serpents.
Alexander the Great is said to have met a dragon..hissing in a cave.
12 sings of the Chinese Zodiac...11 are real animal the 12th is a dragon..why would they use 11 real animals and one fake?..doesn't make much sense.
Oh you might note Alexander and the Chinese don't have much to do with the bible either..........oh
etc etc etc
The mans point is the bible describes dragons and its rather illogical to conclude its all made up that no such creatures existed. He does not describe what a dragon looks like so wemust assume you and the writer are assuming he meant SMAUG...for obvious reasons on the writers part.
Hit piece article motivated by hatred. Deserves to be right next to all the other trash of it kind.
True, Huffington Post does put out a lot of trash
Well what is a dragon? It looks one way in western mythology, and another way in asians. In Norse mythology it was a wormlike snake.
So it's a name given to a beast with certain characteristics. Science decided to call the T Rex, for Tyrannosaurus. But if they had called it dragon then that would be what it was.
And then come to think of it, Christians might be seen wrong, but they are never far of. A point that seems oblivious to most.
Dragon/huge reptile dinosaurs.
Or the flood/science pointing out life and humans have been on the brink of extinction.
Everything came from light/big Bang theory
One day the heavens shall be rolled up/Accelerating universe will burst one day?
Bible puts all these events into a story where we are there, we started civilisation 6000 years ago and God started interacting with us. Science puts most of these events far of into eternity. Maybe the bible sees us as children, and comprises the story in order to tell it to us.
Because The Bible is not a green cheese explanation, it actually keeps itself within the perimeters of modern day understanding.
It doesn't tell you there was a green cheese and a turtle came by and cried and the tears became the ocean and the cheese the mountains. It actually runs much closer to modern science and in many ways in parrallel.
Which is probably why it still has alot to say to people and won't be disregarded as easilly as some (ignorants?) would like.
