I don't remember seeing such a thing in my (admittedly, rather cursory) readings of that book. What sections make mention of such?

| revelations I believe. However, early depictions of angels were not winged humanoids... but things like winged lions and other scary beasties. There's a *reason* they said "Fear Not!" |

Very true. Who knows how many times during the dark ages the pope saw fit to rewright the bible to suite his own needs. There was even a time when he was selling condolences to the public regardless of what the sins were so I have no doubt that more than just a few popes have rewritten that "sacred text". Even Martin Luther, the man who started the Lutheran branch of Christianity, wrote a separate bible.
Although Tentar, I am curious. Where exactly in the bible did you find these "hints" of dragons?

I found this after searching for Wyverns for a while, pretty interesting. Its about sitings of pterosaur and dragon-like flying beasts.

I saw a dragon in Hudson Wisconsin, let me tell you. It was 6:30 June 5th 2005. Me and my family were driving home from a friend's house and my dad said he had just seen a bat that was so big it might eat you out the window. Of course I wanted to get a look at that, so I looked out the window and saw a dragon in all its glory.
So I looked back to dad and said "no dad that's a dragon"  just then the impact of what I had just seen hit me like a jumbo jet  and I looked out the window just in time to see it fly away.

I cannot help but question the validity of your claimed "sighting". First off, give a detailed description of it. I don't care when the sighting took place and for all we know, you could've made that date and time up for rarely do people document such encounters down to the minute. And second, is their any "valid" proof or other "valid" witnesses?, and if so I would like to see a link so as to verify it myself.
I am developing a new pet peeve it seems because a lot of people have been making claims of this or that, not just here, and not providing any evidence to support their argument. I'll put in perspective. Lets say you're in a formal debate. The only evidence you have to support your argument is articles from freelance writers and dot com websites while your opponent has evidence from professors of higher up universities and proven scientists, who is going to win?
You have to provide a source or evidence when making claims such as these or nobody will take you seriously. I want to believe what you said but I just can't do that for you have not developed any credibility yet and you provided no evidence to support your claim.
