| I heard such stories about old people seeing the dragons, but rarely seen in the modern time. |

Find one case where it can be proved that dragons were seen in the modern age.

Mmm, though i believe dragons were once on this earth of ours, i doubt even if they are still here with us now (And i'm not including the 'so called lizard like dragons'), that they would show themselves, even to us who believe.
Though i would like to believe that 'old' people have seen them, it could be true that it's in there mind, and it could be true that they've seen real dragons (And probably the dragon's would only show themselves to those who they think are trustworthy and/or deserve to see them before there end to life).
It's hard to believe a single persons word as it could be made up, and even now, or back in the old times it would be 'rare' so i agree with Ragnarok, could you find one case where dragon;s are seen in the modern age?

There was an ad some where about a pickled baby dragon in a museum.
Can't spell it to save me life. Anyway people were and probably still are skeptical of whether it was real or not. I having put faith in the dragons, would believe it to be real. Just my on perspective, in a news paper ad of it. There is a place where Skeptics, second guess their own logic. I see dragon spirits on a daily bases. So say what you will of my logic. You have your logics, I have mine. I'll never second guess my own logic.

I think the 'old' people did see dragons. Look at the art work say from European folk lore, hundreds of years ago, then at, say the Chinese art work from the same time. Neither civilisation knew that the other existed yet their drawings of these beings (dragons) are incredibly similar.
That's just what I think.

I can't believe I missed this thread. Seriously what are the chances of that? o.O

LOL! Oh you scientists with your theories and your data and your logical skepticism and rational thinking and curiosity about how things work and your disbelief of something that hasn't been observed! 
On a serious note I think this was more aimed at the title of the thread than at the post, which doesn't exactly say the same thing.  Assertions of real physical existence of something are more susceptible to calls for evidence than spiritual claims. In the case of the latter, skeptics won't ask for scientific proof (because they know there's no way to get any); instead they'll just look for holes in provided explanations if there are any.

Skeptics often question this sort of thing in order to let every available possibility be open for consideration. "Pickled baby dragon"? I'd be a bit skeptical of that too. That doesn't mean I wouldn't WANT to believe it though! Actually I'd like to have gone over to examine it myself so that I could have enough evidence to safely believe in it.

Run-on sentence aside, I encounter a dragon spirit every day too. In fact I don't know how to get rid of him. :P But about once every five months or so there's one day where... I don't know how to explain it. Suddenly nothing spiritual makes sense for a while and all my beliefs (even natural ones about "common knowledge" stuff like the roundness of the Earth!) almost appear to just go down the drain. This is why I second-guess myself and why many others going through the same thing second-guess themselves, to learn all over again why/how any of what we believe makes any sense.

I assume you're referring to supernatural phenomena here and your confusing your "logic" with your means of interpreting your own beliefs. I find it hard to second-guess myself on whim, but doesn't mean that somebody can't show up out of nowhere and change the way I view something.
Me personally... I don't believe that dragons physically live on Earth today. I easily COULD though if just the tiniest bit of evidence will jump out in front of me. I believe they CAN easily live here and maybe even secretly associate with people. But contrary to what I'd LIKE to believe I just can't force myself to do so without something to go by, no matter how much I try to force myself to believe.

| the dragon-in-a-jar is a proved hoax. It is a sculpture that, even before the creators admitted it was, indeed, *created*, I was damn sure wasn't real because of serious anatomical issues with the wings. My biggest pet peeve with "physical" dragons, and something most people in entertainment get deplorably wrong. What surprised me? The Mummy 3 has a dragon in it. This dragon has long wings, no holes in the sail membrane... and the inner sail attaches all the way past the hips and even onto the tail some! JOY! |

*giggles* Yeah, I noticed that too. Although there were some things I liked, such as the fins. The thing was moving so fast you could barely see it to begin with (well, in the theatre anyway). But... yes the um, wing attachment to the tail was uh, interesting.
I can't imagine how restricting and awkward that would feel.
