Are Dragon Legends True?

Many cultures have legends about dragons. Pictures of dragons appear on pottery, drawings, and other forms of art. Are these legends true? You might be amazed to find that some dragon legends are based on facts.

In school you have probably heard that dinosaurs existed millions of years ago and became extinct before people lived on the earth. This is not true. The Bible says that God created the earth around 6,000 years ago. He made land-dwelling dinosaurs on Day 6 of the Creation Week (Genesis 1:24-25). God also made Adam and Eve on Day 6, so people and dinosaurs lived together on earth. People told stories about dinosaurs and created artwork depicting them.
