According to some legends, Alexander the Great was able to conquer the world because of a shiny object in the sky that shot rays at his opponents' cities and make them fall. According to that website's logic, we can conclude that aliens helped Alexander the Great to conquer the world.
​
Here is another one. My little nephew a week ago said that he believed in dragons because he saw one in his church. Therefore, there is a dragon inside his church. By the way, he's 3.
​
Here is something else. According to the Greek Mythologies, the Olympian Gods lived on Mt. Olympus. Therefore, if we climb up there now, we should be able to meet those Gods.
​
Everything on that website, and I do mean EVERYTHING, was based on legends, folk tales, and fairy tales. So far, there is no picture of any dragon that I have seen that could fit with the physical appearance we got from fossiles. I just don't see any connection between dinosaurs and dragons. So what if both of them are big in description? So what if both of them can fly?
​
Given that some legendary creatures that were thought to not exist have been found in recent years-- giant squids, sea serpents, etc... But that only proves that we don't know enough about this world to make any such assertion.
​
Anyway, just some reasons why you shouldn't take that website very seriously.

Curiously, most people don't know what's a Trilobite or a Belemnite.
​
​
Care to tell us what they are?

Uh... scientists have shown that organic molecules, even RNA, can form under natural conditions. Refer to Message 42 for my explanation of current theory on abiogenesis.

Any evolutionist who does not understand the unfathomable improbability of life forming by chance has not understood thier own theory. Talk Origins admits this saying: well we can't explain that and that is not our objective. We don't really need to understand that anyways becuase we know it must of happened this way because no other theory exists (of course they ignore creation because it can't be currently tested or explained by currently observable means, but neither can they test, reproduce, and prove atoms randomly came together to form life).
Scientists ignore creationism because it ain't science. Again, refer to my link above for explanations on current accepted theory on the beginning of life.

I will investigate this. Can you point me to any good websites about these experiments?
Please do investigate. Sorry, but I've never relied on the internet for info such as these. I got these info from my college biology courses and text books. Call me old fashion, I just don't like fishing for reliable info on the internet. Perhaps you would like to take a course on the subject at your local community college?
