It must be true, there are even ancient songs written about "Magic Dragons" that lived by some large body of water long ago. A local boy played with one of them. It probably was about 700 years ago, as both Royal families and Pirates are mentioned as having to steer clear of the dragons out of fear or respect. The dragons seem to have disappeared quite suddenly, though. It is believed that they are all languashing in hidden caves. The dragons (really dinosaurs, I guess) were deeply saddened over the loss of this human friend. It seems that the dragons have an incredibly long lifespan compared to humans.

I would hate to think that Ringo Starr was just yanking my chain...

doubly so given that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus Christ.

There are many cases of creatures and plants surviving from the age of the dinosaurs into the modern period.
For instance there are the group of pines in Australia in the blue mountains. there is also several fish species that have been around since the time of the dinosaurs. in both of these instances scientists thought that they no longer existed.
also animals such as turtles, crocodiles and sharks have been around since the time of the dinosaurs.
Why couldn't a few of the dinosaurs have also survived?
Also there are many species of animals being discovered. For instance a new kind of goat was found about ten years ago in south east asia. prehaps these stories of dinosaurs and people living at the same time are not so far fetched.

Thats a fair assessment ulsanchris. The Coelacanth was supposedly extinct 70 million years ago in the devonian period, and was known only from fossils. Until one was hauled up in 1938. And 30 more since then.

The white rhino, okapi, Giant forest hog and others were only discovered in the 20th century. Large animals that had lived unnoticed for a looong time.

Scientists are constantly having to revise their statements, and evidence constantly undermines their theories.

My main point is that we have been led to believe in evolution for so long, that dinosaurs died 65M years ago, and could not possibly live alongside humans. That evolution had invented them and then wiped them out.That cataclysmic events killed all life..etc and a host of other ridiculous theories. That people evolved millions of years after their dissapearance. Biblical and cultural sources say that dinosaurs and man are capable of co-existing. The bible describes them living in the cities. yep- scavenging trash and living in pools a bit like alligators do in the US now, or polar bears wandering into town dumps looking for food. The Incas depict them as pets or at least interracting with people.

When someone actually manages to properly photograph one seen in a sudden momentary glimpse, and keep his camera dry and serviceable in the 40 degree heat and 90% humidity, his hand not unsteadied by 100 mosquito bites per minute: and paddle back in a canoe the 55000 sq miles of swamp to civilisation with an undeniable image- then the evolutionists will suddenly have to throw out the foundations of their philosophy. I'm sure they'll have no problem pulling something new and equally fantastical out of their hats though.

As a Norwegian, I have to come to Rapiers defence here. We absolutely do have Dinosaurs in Norway, I have seen them several times, although they tend to be relatively tame, so there's no problem with having to fight them off. We have more trouble with the all the damn Swedes lurking around.

Last summer, I worked at the amusement park "Sommarland" back home, and we had a resident dinasour residing in the pond behind the store I worked in. It was a big and green with a long neck, and a part from a few holes in its tail, looked good for its age. You can even see it marked off on the parkmap. http://www.sommarland.no/raw/content/download/345/2612/file/boparkart.pdf

If you look at the bottom right of the map, he is looking out over my customers from behind the store. You can also see the park mamuts depicted between interest points 39 and 25.

So if that's not evidence enough for you, come to Norway and experience it yourself!

In New Zealand we have a lizard called the "Tuatara" that is supposed from the time of dinasaurs, and unchanged too!
