With dinosaurs I suppose it might be a possibility with some kind of a blow torch effect which would not contact tissue of the mouth with no contact, but that's as far as I go.
Just to entertain the possibility, in your organic blowtorch effect, what's the ignition source?
While I don't for a minute believe that fire-breathing dragons have any basis in reality, if I had to suppose a real-world organism with some kind of fire breath attack, I'd suggest an effect akin to bombadier beetles - a hot chemical spray.
Then again it wouldn't surprise me if Hovind believed that it just worked by magic.

Certainly a bug is not going to produce a noticeable amount of heat compared to, say a large animal if the process were measured in proportion.
You know those plastic light sticks that kids have around Halloween? They use the same chemicals, right?
I've never noticed them generate any heat whatsoever, and there's a considerable amount of chemical reaction occuring there.
So, yeah. I'd say that you're pretty much mistaken - it's a very, very low heat reaction. There's no amount of the chemicals involved that would generate the heat you're talking about.

I also faithfully watch his appearances on the Carl Baugh show
When is that on? I catch it sometimes on cable but I've never paid enough attention to the timeslot (and no TiVo.)
I need a few laughs when Bill O'Rielly isn't on.
