'''Dragons''' are mythical creatures frequently mentioned in a wide variety of text including folklore, myths, and the Bible.  Thus, the Bible is mythical and cannot be taken as truth.
    
It is conjectured that discussions of dragons are loosely based on creatures such as [[snake]]s (especially in European folklore), [[alligator]]s, and [[crocodile]]s. Legendary sea serpents such as [[Loch Ness]], Ogopogo, Gaasyendietha and Argont have never been proven to exist, but some believe that they originate from folk memories of [[dinosaur]]s<ref>"In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish [[leviathan]] the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea."(Isaiah 27:1) </ref>. [[Crocodiles]] in particular are perfect candidates for legends of sea dragons, as they have been recorded to grow to truly impressive sizes in some cases.
