Both Nebraska Man and Piltdown Man live on only in the minds of creationists.
These are the same creationists who believe if they can discredit Darwin in some way that will discredit his theory over 150 years later.

Dragons are described in the Bible, so they existed.
Nonsense! That's just one more instance where the bible is wrong.
Dragons are described (in far better detail) in The Hobbit, and that work makes far more interesting reading.

The Hobbit has a far better description of a dragon, certainly one more believable then thinking Job is talking of a dragon.
Exactly!
I pointed out the same thing just upthread in Message 158.
But there was no response to my comment. Maybe your's will draw a response.
Edit to add:
It does not pay a prophet to be too specific. ...
