I guess you can argue if unicorns exist also.

Depends if you count the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

I think the only invisible pink unikorn is in your head xD

YESH.

Well it's only natural that they do exist. I mean, despite the fact that they would probably be one of the largest creatures on the planet, and that they are also 'supposedly' aggressive creatures. Plus we can't forget the fact that they FLY!

So, EVEN considering the above points...yes, I'd say they do exist.

Dragon Gun?

wikipedia said:
The dragon became so associated with cavalry and mounted infantry became synonymous with mounted infantry. In addition to the cavalry, the blunderbuss found use for other duties in which the shotgun-like qualities were desirable, such as for guarding prisoners or defending a mail coach, and its use for urban combat was also recognized.[

Through my experiences I have concluded that they do not exist. I hope this helps.

What? Do dragons exist? If the Komodo "dragons" aren't dragon enough then too bad. Of course dragons don't exist, if they had we would have seen them by now and found remains of them. Besides, as Western dragons are typically depicted, they couldn't possibly exist due to the laws of physics. So small wings would never be able to support such a heavy and bulky body, and the Eastern ones usually don't even have wings, so they certainly couldn't fly.
...
why ask such a question anyways? I thought school and wikipedia thought people the difference between reality and fiction. Except for the religion related mythological concepts of course.

This is one interpretation of the word, under which it would be safe to assume they do not. However, the term "dragon" is extremely ambiguous, with the precise meaning being heavily influenced by not only where your depiction comes from, but when. The "classical" Euopean depiction of dragons for example, is in fact relatively modern - it did not appear until the middle ages. The notion and term, on the other hand, can be traced back millenia, and these older incarnations are almost all serpentine in nature. While many would certainly be influenced by fossils, it is also entirely possible that large snakes such as the anaconda and reticulated python could be considered dragons, as they undoubtedly influenced the tradition. Oarfish, which are also known for influencing sea serpent tales, may also be considered such.
Under that basis, one could say dragons do exist. Really, it's more a matter of perception and interpretation than anything else.

.

well basically there is a church in england that said that in about 1400 there was this creature that expanded its body like a frog and that it smelt of eggs(methane perhaps) anyway the idea is this that is a body was filled like a ballon like hot air then basically it could float like a ballon, yes? and the wings being small would be for maneuverabilitly.

anyway they killed it afet it killed some sheep and the said that is deflated like a ballon and that after the belly was strack a punjent smell and ooze luqid bubbled around it for three day and then the buried the bones underneath the church.

P.S soory i dont know where the church is or how to get there and even then the wont tlet you dig up the church becuse its old so you will never know if its true but its a compelling story and legend and actual does creat teh pysics behind the western dragon you say is im possible

Sounds reasonable. It would be a bit sad though if someone really wasn't sure, and then proceeded to inquire on an anime board for the answer >__>'

Well, I do like the balloon concept, although I can hardly imagine any creature suddenly evolving into such. If a means of balloon flight for such a large animal existed, we would no doubt have found traces of it in fossils and even other living creatures.

But at any rate, any claim coming from some mysterious little church in the 1400's should be treated, along with most claims coming from any church, past or present, as naught more than a fairytale.
This, along with the lack of empirical sources means that...

YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID! HAHA >:D

Yeah, us Englishmen are stuck with a cross too. But thinking about it, I've seen plenty of English crests with unicorns and lions on them. Everyone knows that Lions are made up.

I know. The only lions I've seen were behind bars, and were all dozing off. Could have been a big dog in disguise for all I know D:
