A reptile like creature of that size would have to have hollow bones, just like birds, in order to be able to fly. Well, because of this bird bones have such difficult time fossilizing that it almost never happens without some sort of extra factor playing a role. Also, the myth of dragons goes far back passed medieval times and spans almost every single major civilization around the world. So false.

Well.. they did. The Greeks had this sorta stuff figured out before they knew that the earth wasn’t the center of the universe. But that doesn’t matter, I wasn’t talking about the people back then knowing that, I was talking about us here in the modern era knowing that.

The Earth is the centre of the universe though, it's not the centre of the solar system as once thought. The universe expanded from all points equally and in all directions, from any perspective in the universe the centre is that point. You, me, anyone, the sun, the moon, whatever they are all the centre of the universe.

I can see where you’re coming from, but incorrect. What you mean is we are at the center of our Observable universe, but saying we are actually at the center of it means we are right where the Big Bang happened, and we know we are not.

Plus if they didn’t understand physics, the trebuchet and catapult would have never existed.

There is an easy conter argument to what you're saying : flat earthers. Poeple are seriously believing that the earth is flat in an era where humans have literaly visited other planets. It's not because poeple have physics and scientific proofs that dragons didn't exist, that they all knew it didn't exist. Humans weren't a unified entity. They weren't an efficient intelligence that used every imediately aveilable information to make good conclusions. They were humans. Coming across such an enormous lizard-like "bone" could a 100% have caused the dragons' myth.

*counter. *people. *literally. *people (again). *immediately. *available. Also, I wouldn’t use flat earth believers to defend any argument you want to be taken seriously.
