Yeah. Not my thing.
Until you add my topic, of course.
I think my topic will be 'Are Dragons Real?' And I will try to convince people that they actually WERE real.
BECAUSE THEY ARE!!! Or were. Whatever.
First of all, the word 'dinosaur' wasn't thought up until around the 19th century by an English dude. Not really a dude, I think his title was Sir. The word 'dragon' may very well have been the ancient/medieval word for dinosaur.
Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze his limbs like rods of iron.
Job 40:15-18
His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;
Job 41:15
His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn. Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds. His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.

Well...a creature with a tail like a cedar and limbs like iron. Sounds a wee bit like the diplodocus or apatosaurus, no?
And notice Job 41:17-21! This creature breathes fire!
The stories and references about dragons--Beowulf, St. George and the Dragon, the dragon emblem of China, the murals of the Native American Indians--are too wide spread to be made up.
Therefore, I believe that dragons--or dinosaurs--really did exist.
Sorry if I had a bunch of holes in my argument, it's time I should be in bed.
Either the dragon topic, or I'll do one on trolls.
Goodnight!

Oh, I definitely think that you should do dragons. At first, I thought that you had lost your mind when you said you believed in dragons, but now I think that it will be a very good arguement. :)
I think dragons are much more your kind of thing. :)
trolls.......I'm not convinced they actually existed, while I'm certain dragons/dinosaurs did.
That sounds fun! I think your main problem will be being convincing that those references *are* about dinasaurs - they were *supposedly* exstinct long before people, you know. :P Which is why people don't believe in dragons. Most people that is... :) What do you think about unicorns? I want one...
Thank you all for you input! JT, I wouldn't argue that trolls actually existed, I would just talk about them. I guess I kinda didn't make it clear.
Katherine Sophia: I want a unicorn too! I haven't read any Bible verses about horses with horns, though :(
Izori,
I was wondering didn't you say you had the extended version of Lord of the Rings? In the extended one do they go back to hobbition and find it all different?
Love,
Vellvin.
Vellvin: Yes we did. And no, it didn't have the battle in the Shire, unfortunately.
