Ken Ham of the Creation "Museum" finds that even his previous lies to children haven't been exiting enough. So now, he's making not just friendly animatronic dinosaurs, but fire-breathing dragons!

Does it make a roar like a bow drawn across a chello?

Could be! One thing for sure, it doesn't violate the Bible's copyright. I've read of nothing like that dragon there. |

Exactly. People "correcting" this will only make science look like buzz-killers to the kids. Ham is smarter than he looks. |

I suppose, though, we could fight fire with fire:

I don't think this is describinng a dragon but this may be what the billboard refers to. Job 41 (From Bible Gateway, NIV):
12 “I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,
its strength and its graceful form.
13 Who can strip off its outer coat?
Who can penetrate its double coat of armor[b]?
14 Who dares open the doors of its mouth,
ringed about with fearsome teeth?
15 Its back has[c] rows of shields
tightly sealed together;
16 each is so close to the next
that no air can pass between.
17 They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.
18 Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19 Flames stream from its mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke pours from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
21 Its breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames dart from its mouth.
22 Strength resides in its neck;
dismay goes before it.
23 The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.
24 Its chest is hard as rock,
hard as a lower millstone.
25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified;
they retreat before its thrashing.
26 The sword that reaches it has no effect,
nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
27 Iron it treats like straw
and bronze like rotten wood.
28 Arrows do not make it flee;
slingstones are like chaff to it.
29 A club seems to it but a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
30 Its undersides are jagged potsherds,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31 It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had white hair.
33 Nothing on earth is its equal —
a creature without fear.
34 It looks down on all that are haughty;
it is king over all that are proud. ” |

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Eph 5:15-17) |

Well, that's exactly what Ken Ham thinks:The church photographer at our Avon, Indiana, event was able to capture a striking photo of Buddy with his “fire-breathing dragon.” We use this when talking about dragon legends and dinosaurs and Leviathan of Job 41, which the Bible describes as a dragon that has flames that go out of its mouth. I assume that "this" refers to a stage prop, because the referenced photo doesn't seem to be on that page. And Google Image Search is not helping. |

Thanks, Convinced. Aside from some of the Prophets, I'd not known of any fire-spouting critters in the Bible.
The Leviathan seems to be a creature that was a fairy-tale even in Old Testament times. It's armor conjures up the armadillo, but that's a New World animal, and the Leviathan has far more "rows" of armor plate, to say nothing of its fire-breathing, big (non-ant-eating) teeth and much greater size. It seems to be a chimera of sorts. Maybe it can be found in Megalonesia? |

Ken Ham's Creation "Museum" now breathes fire!
