Title: Here be dragons!

Why are there so many dragon legends from cultures around the globe? Why do descriptions of these magnificent animals often sound similar to what we call dinosaurs?

How could our ancestors carve, paint, or write about these creatures if they have truly been extinct for millions of years?
Evolutionists struggle to explain the intriguing evidence that people lived at the same time as dinosaurs. God's Word indicates that dinosaurs and man were created on the same day, so biblical creationists are not surprised to uncover clues that ancient man had indeed seen these beasts.

Were dinosaurs dragons? Find out at the Creation Museum's new Dragon Legends exhibit, and prepare to believe.
Here is one of the many teaching signs composed by Tim Chaffey that will be part of the spectacular Dragon exhibit: (http://creationmuseum.org/whats-here/exhibits/dragon-invasion/)

And remember folks, there are no more dragons because the Dovakin killed them off. JOOR ZAH FRUL! Also this was paid for by your tax dollars. (http://blogs.ssrc.org/tif/2011/06/01/kentucky-approves-state-funding-to-expand-creation-museum/)

If you know a better joke then post it. Originally, I was going to title this 'Here be idiots' but we all knew that.

Why are dragons so common throughout cultures around the globe?  My guess would be because the term 'dragon' has become a broad term that labels many creatures that have many differing characteristics from each other.

I always thought that the answer was related to the likely discovery of dinosaur bones by those different cultures. Hence they each created these giant creatures and attributed magical and natural phenomena to them. Across the cultures the different dragons all have different physical features. The only thing similar in them is they are all large and scaled.

People also tend to forget that the people's of Europe and Asia have had contact with eachother since pretty much forever, what with it being a single landmass and all.  That might account for any minor similarities you might see in certain myths and legends.

This is the most likely reason why dragons exist all over the place.  People found fossils of dinos, made up their own stories.  Only reason everything is so similar is because of cultural contamination.

Ironbite-which is not a bad thing.
