It said in Revelations that a great red dragon, otherwise known as Satan will wait for the baby to come out of the woman, to devour it. So we know that God created all living things, but I'm not sure if dragons, dinasours, insects, flies are part of His creation.

Dragons are a mythological creature. Dinosaurs were real creatures now extinct. Insects and flies are quite real.

Well, except for Komodo Dragons, which aren't much of a dragon. And Dragonflies, I suppose, if you're really stretching it.

If it isn't 300 feet long and able to turn a castle into a marshmallow roast with a sneeze it isn't a dragon, to be frank. :D

If God compared the devil to a dragon, then that means God just compared our adversary to a make believe fictional creature. However, there is nothing more than the devil wants than for men to think he is fictional. Yet, God is not the author of confusion. We read in the story of Job about the Leviathan (Which is an exact description of what a dragon would be like). At the end of the book of Job: God is telling Job about his amazing creation and this dragon like creature is a part of that creation. People have a hard time with accepting things that are miraculous within God's Word so they just write it off as fiction or as a fable. But they are wrong. God's Word is true.

Do these dragons breathe out fire from their mouths?

i believe God did create dragons and unicorns, they are mentioned in the king james bible, but i think they went out like the do do bird. the people in mid-evil times may have killed them off all the dragons because they were destroying they're crops. the unicorn could of been hunted down because of it's valuable horn.

What are dragons, but big lizards? The name dinosaur
wasn't created until the mid 1800's. Before that, the
common name was dragon, and they lived all over the
world right up to modern times.

This is the same one referred to as the serpent in Genesis 3. Remember that God foretold the destiny of his offspring in Genesis 3:15. In the beginning this one is belittled, because humans were strong in righteousness and could simply squash a pesky little snake. However, in the end the human has grown so weak (Isaiah 6:8-13) and this crafty one so established over them (1 John 5:19) that he is depicted as having a greater form, a serpent of fearsome strength, like a dragon (Romans 8:20-22).

Simply, the serpent is more cunning than the children of light (Luke 16:8), and the corruption of the faith through false doctrines (2 Peter 2:1-2, 1 John 4:1-3) has weakened the attitude of the children of light (Matthew 24:24, John 12:35) so that they do not press deep into faith and take hold of the fullness of kingdom power (Proverbs 24:10).

Revelation is showing that this futility (Romans 8:20) doesn't completely destroy the world (Revelation 5:5, Revelation 21:4).

--------

Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors: that the King of glory may come in.
“Who is this King of glory?”
Adonai strong and mighty, Adonai mighty in battle!

Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, you everlasting doors: that the King of glory may come in.
“Who is this King of glory?”
Adonai-Tzva’ot—He is the King of glory!
(Selah)
Psalms 24:7-10

Satan isn't a literal dragon, the book refers to him as a dragon figuratively.

There's no such thing as dragons, there never has been such a thing as dragons; dragons are creatures of myth, legend, and fantasy--like unicorns, goblins, fairies, and centaurs.

God did not create dragons, no, because there's no such thing; they are a product of human imagination.

God is the Creator of all real things though, so yes God is the author of all animal life which has ever lived on our planet; because He is the Maker of the heavens and the earth, of all things seen and unseen; all which actually exists exists because of Him, see John 1:3.

?

Dragons/Dinosaurs lived right up until modern times? What are you counting as "Modern times"? Because to me, that means the past fifty years or so.

Also, because it bears mentioning, there are still dinosaurs alive today, we just happen to call those dinosaurs which survived extinction birds.

Also, no, dinosaurs were not "big lizards". Dinosaurs are part of a group of animals known as archosaurs, which also includes crocodilians and pterosaurs; lizards on the other hand are lepidosaurs, and are not archosaurs. It would be more accurate to say that humans are "big mice" than it would be to say dinosaurs are "big lizards", but no one would reasonably say that humans are "big mice".

The modern period is generally regarded as having begun in the 16th century. It's sometimes said that Martin Luther was the last medieval theologian and John Calvin was the first modern theologian. The transition from the middle ages to the modern age in Western Europe is generally attributed to the late Renaissance, the invention of the moveable type printing press, the European discovery of the Americas, the Protestant Reformation, and the rise of the nation state.

Of course there were no dragons back then either. Or non-avian dinosaurs for that matter; because non-avian dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago, and dragons have never existed.

Oh, Modern PERIOD, not "modern times". That's a big difference.

Of course, as you say, not NEARLY big enough.

While it is possible that there are one horned horses that died out, unicorns can also simply be in reference to any one horned animal, too.

Here is a Science book on unicorns.
