Do you think there are mythical creatures (dragons, phoenixes, basilicas, unicorns, etc.) really?
Do you think someone has been attacked by a dragon, and since then people believed in dragons? Or has anyone seen a phoenix or a basilisk or a unicorn,
or you may believe that everything is bull...t?

well, that they are in the form, as they say in fairy and happen, I do not think so. But somewhere in the yes have fantasies about these suggestions have come from. The answer is obvious ... and redwolf of looking 'to talk purely

I must say that's a good topic,
But I'm not even sure, because on the one hand our Common sense says no, under no circumstances, all myths. But on the other hand, who can prove that it or they did not yet exist? I think it is just the question of God ... no one can prove anything, but so many people still believe in him. Just me going on these "myths" ... why should not there be? Or why should they give?
No one can really answer this question ... & I think that this thing is so interesting!

Mythical creatures do not exist, but the examples of such fabulous creatures are still in nature to find as the unicorn, it was therefore believed because you have always found great horns, and she was actually assigned to any land animal, after it was discovered that there around the horn of the narwhal is.

There are still people who deal with the so-called "cryptozoology", a branch of science that explores whether something about mythical creature's turn.
examples:
Rhinos were known in Europe in the Renaissance, initially as "unicorns".
The so-called jungle-horse, the okapi was not discovered until the early 20th century in the Congo and was long regarded as a native legend.
Therefore, I could certainly imagine that something is behind the legends ... if not literally, perhaps even dragons were leftover dinosaurs?

Do you believe in it. These are creatures from legends and fairy tales, which are metaphorically (figuratively) for another statement that you can bring in terms of reality. This assumes that one can know something about symbolism in literature and the religions and read between the lines. It is therefore only to idiocy, when a reader literally believe in it.

All these things are based on real creatures, altered through retelling and a bit of artistic licence. Unicorns from narwhals I find hard to believe, but they, of course, would just see a snow-white creature with a miraculous horn.
Back in the whenever, Marco Polo visited Australia and saw kangaroos and huge aquatic snakes. His journal is full of mythical creatures he drew from "memory" - like sea serpents, and strange one-legged goblin things.
People took a lot of "herbal revitalisers" in the old days, too.

Well mythical creatures like dragons, phoenixes, basilicas, unicorns, etc. all exist in our imagination. But if we think deep, we can come to a conclusion that maybe hundreds and hundreds of years ago they existed in a far away land. Maybe some person have really encountered a dragon, otherwise how can we obtain such detailed description of the fire spitting beast in books, movies and various other sources. Not everything can be a myth! There must be some truth about these facts that have triggered the imagination of the writers, poets and painters round the world. Therefore, I believe that creatures sharing at least some of the similarities do existed some time in the past.

Some of them maybe just a fairy tale but i think maybe some of the creature actually exist in the past and now they already extinct just like dinosaurus but to find which one is just a fairy tale and which one is actually exist in the past we have to dig up the entire earth and i think it's impossible thing to do.

I don't believe in those things.. I think, they are just a product of somebody's very creative mind. :) I haven't heard a news that someone has been killed or attacked by dragons or whatever creature it is. :) I think, those creatures only exists in our minds. :D
