All the evidence are of fossils that date millions of years ago. We are still finding them because there where lots of species of dinosaur living for over 60 million years. With all the technology we have today, all anyone can come up with is blurry pictures of things that could easily be anything. Not one bit of evidence has come in that dinosaurs still exist.

Also, who's saying Dragons don't exist in China? :) C’mon Mik,
Believe, BELIEVE I TELL YOU! :D

Firstly, I don't trust anything that the Bible depicts. There's evidence and there isn't. Photographs that aren't clear as day can not be considered as evidence. Even so, clear photographs (remember the garden fairies?) can be doctored. Tribal people often have witchdoctors that believe so strongly in their religion that they will do anything to make others believe - that includes making loud noises. Additionally, how do we know what dinosaur x sounded like, when there are so many contradicting views on something as trivial as to whether T-Rex had feathers? I am reserved at the thought of the existence of dragons. It's hard to believe that if such creatures did exist, that humans would (at that time) would be able to kill them all. Don't != Can't or Won't. Sorry, but I guess I just don’t believe until I see it for myself. Firstly, I don’t trust anything that the Bible depicts. There’s evidence and there isn’t.

Especially since the older civilizations didn't have as advanced paleotechnology as we do in recent times. I know the bible can't say the earth is "exactly" 6000 years old, I'm not even sure if it had the same dating system back then as we do now, the number 6000 is just an estimate based on biblical records (in other words, it isn't 4.6 billion years old). Who knows, maybe the Flintstones isn't as "Fictional" as we believe it to be :D . lol @jimmy, But we do have proof that they existed (with their fossils), unlike Santa ;)

Nessie (aka the Loch Ness Monster) is very debatable. While people keep claiming that it does exist and that they've seen it, a few years ago they scanned the entire Loch using sonar to try and pick something up and they didn't find any conclusive evidence that there was anything that large living there. The photograph you entered has often been discredited as an otter or bird and that it was therefore a hoax. It should be noted by the way that the Bible makes no claims about the age of the Earth. Some people have used the genealogical records in the Bible to attempt to date the Earth and came to a figure of around 6000. Judaism is approximately 5700 years old - dated from when the religion began to the current day. People who believe in Creationism don't always agree with the 6000 date but say that the Earth is probably around 10,000 to 15,000 years old.
