The existence of dragons is not scientific? Yet science cannot completely deny its existence?

The magical creatures of mythology

Dragons have always been magical creatures that exist in mythology, from ancient mythology to historical records, and even in recent times, there have been records of dragons being found. Are we Chinese also call ourselves the heirs of the dragon, so is the dragon a real creature or not? Many people speculate that the dragon is our Chinese totem, which was made by splicing different parts of the enemy totem during ancient wars. This seems to explain very well why dragons have a lot of divinity. Therefore, there is a view that the dragon is a fictional creature. Some even believe that the characteristics of dragons, such as the ability to go up in the air, make clouds and rain, and breathe fire, defy science. This makes it even more certain that the dragon is just a fictional totem beast.

So, do dragons not exist? Although a lot of reasoning against the dragon can not exist is very reasonable, but can not completely deny the existence of the dragon.

In history, records about dragons from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, from writing to drawings, all dynasties have records about falling dragons or sightings, although only a few words, all can see that the recorded dragon is an ordinary creature, not a mythical god. As recorded in the Song Dynasty, the giant scales and long beard, white belly, and greenback can smell fishy, and disappear after the thunderstorm. In the year of Daoguang, a dragon descended on Letting County, flies and gnats were everywhere, and the local people built a pergola to water it, and finally, it also left a big thunderstorm. It does not know any magical arts, only often appearing with the clouds and rain.

If dragons are fictional creatures based on the totems of Chinese ancestors, then why are there all kinds of accounts of dragons all over the world? Although the dragon in Western legends looks more like a winged lizard, it is undeniable that it possesses most of the key features of the Eastern dragon, such as being covered in scales, having horns on its head, having claws, being able to breathe fire, and even the mythical Ying Long, who helped the Yellow Emperor during his battle with Chi You, is similar to the image of the Western dragon. Then can we say that ancient people all over the world had seen real dragons, and the difference between eastern and western dragons is perhaps the different forms of dragons, or they are inbred species?

And in history, there have been many sightings of dragons, the most famous of which can be said to be the 1944 Yingkou dragon crash, which also made the newspapers at the time, yet after many years, experts deduced from the photos at the time that the skeleton might belong to a baleen whale.

Here we only raise a few questions. How did the huge body of the whale living in the sea get into the reeds? The whale is so big that it is very different from the image of a slender dragon. After the death of this dragon, it was reported at that time that the scales were packed in two large frames when carrying the corpse, so which kind of whale has scales? As for the skeleton, at that time many people in the handling process secretly take away some bone pieces, that is to say, at that time the photo spelled out the skeleton can be said to have large mutilation.

And we look at the eyewitness accounts, and they all describe the dragon horns are straight horns, while we know the dragon's horns should be antlers, that is, they said the dragon is not their imaginary image, but saw and noticed the subtle differences between it and the image of the dragon in mind.

The most recent large dragon sighting was in September 2007, at Jiangsu Gaoyou Lake, a dragon suction spectacle occurred, many people were watching, and then there was a dragon-shaped object in the clouds swam through the clouds, when many people shouted "dragon ah", and the video of the dragon suction spectacle also captured the scene, however, to the back When the video was broadcast again, it turned out to be 3 birds flying slowly past the tornado.

Is the scene so many people are nearsighted? Can see a few birds as dragons. What is more suspicious is that if the dragon-sucking phenomenon occurs, birds will still fly to the side.

All kinds of sightings have proof that people saw a creature like a dragon, but before catching clear evidence, to admit a creature that is currently scientifically impossible to exist is not scientific.

So do dragons exist or not? I think the kind of dragon in mythology may not exist, the real dragon may be an extremely rare magical animal, and according to the description, dragons generally live in rivers, lakes, and even clouds, and are extremely difficult to be found in the place, perhaps we have not yet discovered its mysteries.

For example, birds let us know about aerodynamics, thus making airplanes, and the way bats are positioned lets us know about ultrasound. And perhaps the dragon has these even more peculiar skills, perhaps in the future when we understand, it will dawn on us that it is so!
