To be honest, I also believe that dragons existed.

Eragon type (sentient and magical) or "how to train your dragon" type (animalistic and non magical) ?

Still do. The Komodo dragon is a popular attraction at many zoos.

I mean the flying, fire-breathing kinds.

But yeah, komodo dragons are awesome.

I had lizards as a kid, they're a bit like miniature dragons.

The latter. I kind of assume they got extinct at some point.

posting as amother b/c I'm going to talk about my conversion, not because I'm bashing anyone.

before converting to judaism I was raised by my parents as a hard-core x-tian. one of the many many many reasons that I went away from it was that the people around me could not accept/believe in something evidenced right before their eyes: dinosaurs. It was impossible (said they) for dinosaurs to be real b/c they could read the story of creation and it said in the 6th day was man. 5 days, said they, was not long enough to make a dinosaur, thus it must not be true. I was so turned off.

I loved converting to judaism because the people that I met and learned with seemed so much more rational and evidence-based about everything. (keep in mind for the first while I was hanging around with a conservadox crowd, before dh and I "frummed out"). I was shocked to hit the frum crowd and find that for some of you ladies, dinosaurs are also an issue. Why are dinosaurs an issue?

If you are going to believe (as do I) that Hashem is capable of creating the entire UNIVERSE, the totality of all existence, why would you not believe that he could squeeze in a few dinosaurs while he was at it?
