I would say no. I think they are symbolic of great power, either good or evil depending on which culture is telling the story.

I do believe that they existed in the past.
If you look at all the different cultures in the world, they all had some kind of dragon.
Many of them are very similar, although these cultures never heard about each other in the past.

There are still witches right now.
Although I believe that most stories about witches (with magic) are mad up.
Propably some people were afraid of "that weird looking old lady near the forrest".
Don't believe in fairies though.

Also, dragons where probably closely related to dinosaurs.

Sorry, but no. They don't exist. As for if they existed, that's your opinion. Sure, lots of reptiles that could fly existed, but I'd hardly call them dragons. The classical fire-breathing dragon never existed. After all, if it could breath fire, it would burn its mouth, and therefore wouldn't be able to eat.

Perhaps the fire is a metaphorical description to describe, er, I don't know, a creature with warm projectile vomit.

Not sure if any of you believe in God or the bible.
But the bible mentions some things about "dragons".
Although most people believe it's about crocodile (which is impossible if you read carefully)
