myth/lore?
    #7577401 - 10/30/07 03:54 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

do you believe in things like dragons, elves, unicorns, and gnomes?

aside from the nonexistent hard biological evidence (which could have easily been destroyed if isolated enough) i see no reasons not to believe in such things...yet im not quite sure if i do

Why would one believe in things for which there is no evidence? That can only lead to trouble. (read religion)

i am aware of the archetypes that these creatures represent, but i have no reason to think of them as biological entities.

I believe there were unicorns. There seems to be good evidence they lived in asia around mongolia I think, but they were probably hunted to extinction.

As far as dragons go, I really believe that what we call dragons were really dinosoars, different kinds of dinosaors. I don't think it's crazy to think these animals existed.

I mean, there is the bombadeer beetle that can make explosions, and there is the narwhale, also possibly extinct, and that had a big horn too.

But I don't think there was ever elves or gnomes.

But there could have been really really small people group like the hottentots in Africa.

if anyone is interested, you shoudl read "the fairy faith in celtic countries" by W.Y. Evans-Wentz. very intersting information here on the subject. He was an oxford scholar, he also was the first (i think) to translate the tibetan book of the dead into english.

I seriously did believe that the Jackalope existed up until last month.

I felt like the biggest tard in the car when everyone stopped laughing because they realized I wasn't playing with them.

Gnomes were real.

Scientist recently discovered remains of an entirely new species of human that stood 3 feet tall full-grown.
