Are dragons scientifically plausible?

I mean besides the ability to breathe fire dragons seem plausible right?

Yes, assuming that there is some naturally occuring organic substance that is flame retardant and coats the inside of the dragon's stomach, esophagus, throat, and mouth. It would act similarly to the mucous that coats the inside of the stomach to prevent the stomach-acid from breaking the stomach down from the inside.

No, large reptiles could never have existed. That's crazy talk...

Any animal that can fly needs to be very lightweight, and dragons are usually impervious to all but the most powerful attacks. Heavy armor and flight don't go well together in the natural kingdom.

As far as breathing fire, I suppose with a bit of imagination it might be feasible, but as a evolutionary adaptation is seems kind of unlikely. Chemicals that can be stored separately but when mixed create fire...well they're kind of rare for one thing.

large reptiles? I reject your notion and encourage you to read this

I know birds have hollow bones to be able to fly. For a huge, heavy beast like a dragon to be able to fly seems far fetched...but maybe not.r-teest

Theres a theory that since so many unconnected civilizations (ancient native americans, middle east, china, west, etc) all have such a similar notion of a "dragon" in their mythology, that they probably "existed."

Well, more accurately, ancient people likely thought that large dinosaur bones were evidence of "dragons."

I suppose breathing fire is plausible. Hell, the Bombardier Beetle gets damn close.

And Unicorns.

Job 39:

9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
