If by age, you mean the observable evidence that they are young enough to have red blood cells still in the marrow and usable DNA, then yes. I believe they were created with all the other land animals and man on Day 6. Two of each kind were passengers on Noah's Ark. And they were seen after the flood by every nation from Daniel, Alexander the Great, Nebuchadnezzar, Chinese emperors, Europeans, American Natives, etc. The last known sighting of a small dragon was in 1611.
Hilarious, really hilarious, thanks for the laugh. That stuff made my day
Now seriously, since we've spent some time talking about genetics... Are you aware (rhetorical question, since I'm 100% certain you have no clue whatsoever) that 2 individual members of a species cannot procreate beyond a small number of inbred generations before dying out due to deterioating genetic fitness ?
It's due to the genetic effect called homozygosity, leading to the following (Wikipedia quote) :
- Reduced fertility both in litter size and sperm viability
- Increased genetic disorders
- Fluctuating facial asymmetry
- Lower birth rate
- Higher infant mortality
- Slower growth rate
- Smaller adult size
- Loss of immune system function
So whenever you hear someone (anyone) talking about "Adam and Eve" or Noah's Ark - you know they are talking pure BS. And any stories and myths that originated from these fables are identical BS.
An actual Dragon (as displayed by ancient or modern drawings or descriptions) has never existed outside the fantasy of human storytellers and naturally not a single piece of evidence exists.
(my best guess is that thousands of years ago people found the remains of a pterodactyl or similar bones and - lacking any scientific skills or knowledge but lots of superstition at that time - started the rumors of "dragons" which made it into today's fantasy stories over time)
I guess if you're into Dragons, you also believe in elves, orcs, hobbits etc. and likely are a frequent World of Warcraft player with severe personality disorders....
PS.
The last sighting of the Loch Ness monster in the UK was in 2011...
Still, we all know that Loch Ness monster never existed, but that detail doesn't matter, right?
PPS.
The old saying (now considered "politically incorrect") still holds true :
There's some smart people and there's a whole lot of dumb people roaming the earth. The dumb however, generally seem to multiply in greater numbers. Always has been that way.
While it may seem harsh to say - it's unfortunately 100% correct - and in the end, it always boils down to that simple fact of life.
Not sure why I am bothering to reply but the inbreeding would not have been as big of an issue back then. There were less mutations. There are more mutations each generation. The amount of mutations that have occurred is steady and observable and would be much more if the world was millions of years old. One more piece of evidence that supports creation.
Stories of dragons throughout history were most likely exaggerated, but that does not mean that they did not exist. If all cultures have stories about them, the Chinese still believe in them, we should sit back and ponder this at least. Of course there are other creatures that are myths. But these "dinosaur" bones that have just been discovered are nothing "new" in the world.
And as for the ark, the animals would have most likely been very young and small.
Of course we are considered crazy. That is fine. It really doesn't matter if you think we are crazy or not. What matters more is everyone's personal relationship with God. Each person will be accountable with what they do, or don't do with what they are given and everyone will be accountable to God's law, regardless of their belief in the law or not. To stand before God and say, "It all seemed to stupid" or even "I was a good and moral person" is not enough to avoid eternal punishment. You can shoot the messenger but it does not change the message or the truth behind the message.
Let me correct that statement of yours :
Inbreeding would have been just as big of an issue back then as it was now, as these genetic laws are timeless and not dynamic in nature. There were near-identical degrees of mutation, but the short timespan would have killed off adam & eve's offspring long before natural mutations (i.e. caused by transgenetic effects or radiation) could have set in, as these occur over far greater timespans. There are similar amounts of mutations over each generation, as influenced only by environmental factors. The amount of mutations that have occurred are relatively steady and observable and would be nearly identical regardless of earth' age. One more piece of evidence that clearly tells us a) creationists have no clue about reality a.k.a. science and therefor never get their facts straight and b) there's (surprise) no actual evidence that supports creation or any other religion whatsoever.
Anyway, just another religious/superstitious crackpot on the internet that has no education but brabbles ill-derived pseudo-arguments in order to spread its own disease (religion)... Nothing new.
