Do you believe in "mythical Creatures"?

Question

do you believe they exist. Do you believe in them still being here or in the other realm. I believe there is a reason for dragons and unicorns and all the others. People call it folk lore but what if they are just out of sight for those who do not believe.

If you believe you will see what it is you believe in.

Just cerious what others thank.

I am not asking if you believe in god or not I am asking if there is tomany times that these animals are dicussed or told in stories. I believe that at some point in time they did exist and if you believe the still do? There is a dragon arround still...Maybe some of these are from the early stages of revalution.

Answer 1

Well the question posed is that in which mythical creatures actualy exist.. I would have to say that they do and it is not about the perception of the closed minded bible humpers that think that there is no way that they could be anything but demons.. You sir (bungyow) are a absolute Billy Graham groopie. the absolute thought that they are to be demons would make me belive that you are forgeting that the story is that Noah couldnt get the unicorns on the big freakin yacht that he built. And I hope that you dont have kids... cause if you do then you had better get rid of any and all Santa stuff you got.. Technicaly he is a Myth you idiot's. And I suppose that you would rather your kids, or any you know, bite the heads off of chocolate Jesus's. because the Easter Bunny...... MYTHICAL... And not to forget the Tooth Fairy... I mean the Tooth Desiphel... BECAUSE FAIRY'S ARE MYTHICAL TOO.. Not to say that all christians are stupid or closed minded. Just most... and well of course you butyum.. or bungyow... whatever..

Blessed Be

Answer 2

I do, but I think that its more the other way around. Not that people don't believe, Its just they've been classified as myth so long, that your own eyes and mind will fool you.

Which is a shame. I've thrown in a good example, just for you :)

'A man breaking his journey between one place and another at a third place of no name, character, population or significance, sees a unicorn cross his path and disappear. That in itself is startling, but there are precedents for mystical encounters of various kinds, or to be less extreme, a choice of persuasions to put it down to fancy; until 'My God,' says a second man, 'I must be dreaming, I thought I saw a unicorn.' At which point, a dimension is added that makes the experience as alarming as it will ever be. A third witness, you understand, adds no further dimension but only spreads it thinner, and a fourth thinner still, and the more witnesses there are the thinner it gets and the more reasonable it becomes until it is as thin as reality, the name we give to the common experience. 'Look, look,' recites the crowd. 'A horse with an arrow in its forehead It must have been mistaken for a deer.' -Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are dead

Answer 3

Yes, totally. As for dragons, we have their bones. A pterodactyl looked very similar to a dragon, and it's hollow bony crest may well have held the chemicals to allow it to breathe fire. I don't find that at all to be far-fetched. Also, even in the Bible there is a reference to a unicorn. There is more variety on the Astral plane, but even on this one there are many "mythical" creatures still alive (although some rare and officially undiscovered), and many more who are now probably extinct.

Answer 4

I believe they either do exist or did at some point. Certain creatures in folklore have occured far too often in too wide of a range to merely accredit it to simple folk lore. Prime example of this is Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti, and of course, Dragons. There are the traditional Asian dragons, then you have your dinosaur/sea serpents of Europe and your dinosaurs/reptilian humanoids from Africa.
There's always the possibility of bleed-over from other dimensions to consider too. Also, the same applies to flying saucers, aliens, and magical abilities.

Answer 5

I think a better term would be Cryptozoology. Folklore is basically stories. They don't even have to have animals in them, let alone mythical ones.

And anyone who doesn't believe in 'fantasy' creatures ever having existed isn't paying attention. It wasn't THAT long ago that the Duckbilled Platypus was viewed as a fantasy...

Answer 6

Growing up i have seen a ghost, heard a ghost, chased a flute playing creature near a wooded lake....saw music books on their music stands in same area that vanished the second i turned to yell for someone to come look at what i found. So yes i believe, and have no doubt about what others believe in.

Answer 7

The Yeti? Bigfoot? Abominable Snowman? doubtful

An actual live helpful Yahoo AMERICAN service rep...NO WAY!!!!


I am really cerious about what others thank about spell and grammar checks

Answer 8

I believe mythological creatures exist or existed at one time. it has nothing to do with religion or beliefs. certain types of dragons have been proven to exist. and 200 years from now people will be talking about the mythological squirrel and his horde of nuts.

Answer 9

well they have found a one horned goat that they say was blamed for the unicorn story's .There may have been a one horned horse as well but they haven't found it. they have found the giant squid as far as sea creatures. there will be more creatures found I'm sure to explain mythical creatures and the story's behind them.

Answer 10

eskimos have more than 28 words for snow because they encounter it in many forms. the Tuaregs (desert nomads)
only have one name for snow becasue it is almost a myth to them.
if these things were myths why do so many cultures have so many names for them.
Naming (aka Adam's Gift) Is considered one of the most powerful things a Mage can do. according to folklore If you can call something by its proper name then it can be called to this plain of existance.
