Young Earth Creationists: A friend of mine says that she believes in dragons...?

This is nonsense, based on perverse mistranslations, with no basis in science or even on scripture. You have some very gullible friends.

CreoCrap is bad religion as well as bad science.

I've heard some claim dragons were dinosaurs- while I do believe the claims dinosaurs lived the same time as man is crap I do think there would be some merit to the theory that the idea of a dragon came about as people dug up the occasional fossil.

-After a searching review of the record and applicable caselaw, we find that while ID arguments may be true, a proposition on which the Court takes no position, ID is not science. We find that ID fails on three different levels, any one of which is sufficient to preclude a determination that ID is science. They are: (1) ID violates the centuries-old ground rules of science by invoking and permitting supernatural causation; (2) the argument of irreducible complexity, central to ID, employs the same flawed and illogical contrived dualism that doomed creation science in the 1980s; and (3) ID's negative attacks on evolution have been refuted by the scientific community. …It is additionally important to note that ID has failed to gain acceptance in the scientific community, it has not generated peer-reviewed publications, nor has it been the subject of testing and research. Expert testimony reveals that since the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, science has been limited to the search for natural causes to explain natural phenomena. (page 64)- Judge Jones, Kitzmiller V Dover decision. Truth in science is not derived by polls. Your friend is a willfully ignorant moron. -Let me try to make crystal clear what is established beyond reasonable doubt, and what needs further study, about evolution. Evolution as a process that has always gone on in the history of the earth can be doubted only by those who are ignorant of the evidence or are resistant to evidence, owing to emotional blocks or to plain bigotry. By contrast, the mechanisms that bring evolution about certainly need study and clarification. There are no alternatives to evolution as history that can withstand critical examination. Yet we are constantly learning new and important facts about evolutionary mechanisms.- Theodosius Dobzhansky "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution", American Biology Teacher vol. 35 (March 1973) reprinted in Evolution versus Creationism, J.

Well, the convict Hovind preached such non-sense, it is only natural that some duped YEC believers would take him at his word.

Dragons don't exist. God would never make such things.
