Do you believe in "Magical Creatures"?

who even said it's a 40 foot long sea-dinosaur? it could also be something else. it has never been confirmed being a plesiosaur, not even by eye-witnesses, only as prehistoric looking. and like you said, it takes a few months to search. but that thing can enter and leave the loch whenever it pleases, that's why eyewitnesses are rare. you don't just get to look at the loch and HOPE you'll see that lake-dwelling beast.

if you wanna call it BS, be my guest. you may be right, or you may be wrong. but I won't completely mark it as ''bullsh#t'' only because scientists say so. I'll leave it at a question mark, meaning, I'll accept it as a mystery, and only time will tell before we'll discover a REAL prehistoric sea-dwelling animal, or not. just like a plesiosaur-like rotting corps was taken aboard on a japanese fishing boat. unfortunately, the unindentified animal was dumped back into the ocean before a full examine could have occured.

You're completely ignoring the point again, but whatever. Bottom line is: there is claimed to be a creature who lived/lives in Lake Loch Ness that was FAR larger than any creature that is a native of that area, and no evidence beyond scattered reports of "things" in the water have ever been documented to back that claim.

Also, you clearly don't know much about the migratory tendencies of large, aquatic animals. Creatures that large don't just move between inland lakes and the ocean on a day-to-day basis. They remain in one or the other for very large periods of time. One example, the beluga whale that swam up the Delaware river a block and a half away from my house that did nothing but drift around in a half-mile radius for several weeks last year.

And backpeddling to call it a "mystery" only works if you haven't already claimed that it does exist.

"because I think that thing is either gone or dead" ; "but now I think that ''thing'' living in the loch is either dead, or it left the lake unnoticed."

That's twice that you've worded your posts to indicate that you actively believe a creature or group of creatures were at one point living in Lake Loch Ness. That's not a "mystery". That's a claim on your part that has been debunked rather thoroughly.

If you'd like to *retract* your previous statements, you're welcome to do that. But don't lie about things that you very clearly said a few posts up. That just makes you seem disingenuous and, quite frankly, doesn't give me much desire to take you at all seriously.

dude, at 1987 they searched for 5 days with 20 boats in the lake for the monster, and they found 3 big moving objects at a dept of between 150 and 180 meters, but the search had to be called of due a lack of money. at an expidition in 2000 they also found a big object from about 5 meters long with sonar, but before they could check out what it was, they lost it. these facts conclude there is/was something big in that lake, enough said. they only lack evidence that it is a plesiosaur because it hasn't been FOUND. but there indeed is or was ''something'' big living in that waters, or it IS/WAS at least possible there was something. And that beast is likely to enter and leave the lake if it can't find any food.

''And backpeddling to call it a "mystery" only works if you haven't already claimed that it does exist'.''

well mr obvious, excuse me for using the wrong phrase.

''But don't lie about things that you very clearly said a few posts up. That just makes you seem disingenuous and, quite frankly, doesn't give me much desire to take you at all seriously.''

So now I am a liar all of a sudden? you surely seem to be someone who takes conclusions about others very quickly. And why should I care if you take me serious or not? ''seriously'' dude... I couldn't care less.

I believe that dragons at least existed once, but many years ago. I know this isn't worth anything to a lot of you but there is even evidence in the Bible that hints at dragons and dinosaurs. And real life evidence would be some of the dinosaur bones that have been discovered. There are a few dinosaur skulls that have an extra passageway either near the nostrils or the mouth that no one knows what they're there for. I believe that those passage ways are for the flames they used to emit, this making these skulls not dinosaurs, but dragons.

They've also recently discovered a tiny living specimen that is considered a dragon of today. It doesn't breathe fire, but it has "wings" and can at least glide for some distances. It's called Draco Volans.

^Thats is so awesome! Brb, must google.

Yeah I agree about the dragons. I think they must've been out there at one point or another. So many different cultures have their own similar versions of that kind of creature that never had contact with each other. There had to be something at least similar to a dragon that existed.

I can't disagree with you. even in the book of job at chapter 40 verse 15 we are told about a big mighty creature called ''behemoth''. it is described as an untameable fierce herbivore with bones like iron bars and a tail like a cedar tree. no way is that an elephant or hippopatamus. in my opinion it resembles a mighty sauropod.

but better be carefull what you say. there may be certain persons dwelling arround here who won't take this kindly. especially if we won't accept science as our ''god''.

Lol quit throwing hidden insults at each other guys.

ANYWAY, like you said, the section in the book of Job was one of the ones I was talking about. But I know that we have members here with different beliefs which is why I gave one example using the Bible and then another example using real life evidence.

very interesting, I googled Draco Volans and it really looks like a little dragon. another interesting fact is that the word ''dinosaur'' didn't excist till it was invented by some scientist in the late 18s. who knows what they were called before that. have you also seen the carcasse of a dead plesiosaur-like creature taken aboard on a japanese fishing boat? VERY interesting... who knows, they're not instinct at all.

[MalibuTrashDog]

Yes I honestly believe that dragons, at least, did exist at some point. The original ones might not be alive today, due to dying off or being hunted to death. Or perhaps they've "evolved" into a few of the lizards we have running around today. Times change, so do creatures.
