Science vs Mythology

[Jerome]

k HaZe.

Dragons never existed

And if you are interested, maybe you'd like to take some time and read this page.

Then tell me, can your Science prove that the Pteranadon did not evolve into a Dragon like creature, or maybe you can use Science to prove that these "Myths" of knights killing these kind of creatures (which are, like I said in-game,evidently Dinosaurs) are not true.


And alas, whilst on the subject, you stated "why cant there be flying reindeers" well, in answer to your question - There cannot be flying reindeers .. not all myths will have evolved from true stories, or did indeed evolve from true happenings, but obviously exaggerated over time, for example ... ever played Chinese whispers?

So anyways, the point I'm making here is that Science cannot prove Myths wrong, just because of the fact that they have no evidence to support it's actuality. And that works both ways, likewise I cannot prove to you anything without evidence of Dragon existence, except I have proved to you that there is real dragons today, alive, and I have given you an explanation as to what I was trying to explain in-game - Dragons could've been Dinosaurs.

And speaking of Myths being exaggerated, Santa Clause was real too.

Not that I believe in the Myth itself, but it's origins I do believe of, see here

So anyways, just felt like I needed to say a few things and clear up any misunderstanding.


Explanation

you got to be fucking kidding me. . .
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/myth

secondly, you posted this , and if you look up top it says "CIRCLE OF THE DRAGON > THEORIES > The Realism of Dragon Existence", hence "theories", so its only a theory, not a fact.

Dragons are legendary creatures, typically with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of worldwide cultures. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon#Spec...agon_myths )

"Dinosaur and mammalian fossils were occasionally mistaken for the bones of dragons and other mythological creature; for example, a discovery in 300 B.C. in Wucheng, Sichuan, China, was labeled as such by Chang Qu. Adrienne Mayor has written on the subject of fossils as the inspiration for myths in her book The First Fossil Hunters, and in an entry in the Encyclopedia of Geology she wrote: "Fossil remains generated a variety of geomyths speculating on the creatures’ identity and cause of their destruction. Many ancient cultures, from China and India to Greece, America, and Australia, told tales of dragons, monsters, and giant heroes to account for fossils of animals they had never seen alive."

so its only a theory, not a fact.

Yeah, just like the Big Bang, Plate Tectonics, Cells, Evolution, Germs, Atomic, Relativity and the list goes on. -_-'

I love it most when people say "you cannot prove it wrong, so it is correct".

yeah it's hilarious. I CAN'T STRESS IT ENOUGH, I feel terribly sorry for any fool who believes in mythology. Mythology wasn't made to convince you that they're real, they're just entertaining stories for fuck sake.

Jerome, your argument saying "you cant prove it didnt live" is complete bullshit. We can also say "you cant prove that your dragon existed - so it didnt exist."

Get good arguments, and you'll see that you'll get a good discussion.


PS: To your § about Santa Clause... well he indeed existed, but the Santa Clause we know today (the big man with the red coat, white beard, sack with presents etc) was actually invented as a big big BIG tv advertisement by Coca Cola.

I don't think thats what he's trying to say. He's just saying don't dismiss things 100% that can't be proven wrong. Keep an open mind. I know that a fire breathing creature is not possible but I don't see why a dragon-like dinosaur couldn't exist. Unless someone posts some hard scientific evidence against it (and not their opinions) I won't say it isn't possible.
