Well, I decided to butt-in about the whole "dinosaur" thing that Pinky mentioned way back on the first page. I think what she is getting at is that dragons are mentioned in the Bible several times. I mean, think about it. If someone comes along and finds a... lets say, T-Rex fossil back in Bibical times, they are going to think it just died a few days ago. This would give them reason to put such things as "dragons" in the Bible, as it would help explain why they just found a gargantuan skeleton laying around.

Well, whatever. Everyone's gonna ignore this post anyway. Just a thought I had.

Key word here = think. They wouldn't know that this skeleton has been sitting here for millions of years.

actually I meant they wouldn't think it would only be a few days because it takes a while for the flesh to rot away.

Days, weeks, months, whatever. That's not the point. :p

That sounds kinda silly. How could animals think like that? And I don't know about all animals but if you take domestic dogs for an example, they're not tamed. If some pet dog had puppies and those puppies would never see any humans they would act just like wild dogs and it would be impossible to make them get used to humans later. The reason why dogs are "tame" is that they get used to people from their very first days.
I'm not saying that if you let them free they would act like wolves. They wouldn't, because they wouldn't have anyone to teach them to hunt and so on, because their parents would be pet dogs and they wouldn't know how to survive in the wild because they were never taught by their parents.
If you would let a domestic dog puppy in the wild right after it's birth it would be a wild dog but it would die of course. And because you would have to let it go right after the birth it would die just about right away cause it couldn't see or walk or anything.. So it really wouldn't be possible.. but never the less the dog would be wild.
