This is gibberish! “I’m ancient near east”? What’s that even supposed to mean?
You need ancient near east studies to even know if something qualifies as “historical evidence”.
Because the source organization is demonstrably untrustworthy.

What the person did was just another guess of what the species might have looked
That’s the only reason I bothered to watch the video – I thought it would be fun to get an artist’s guess for once.
He repeatedly claimed that ‘as a Christian …’. What he should have said is ‘as a supporter of YEC …’. Christians have different interpretations about Genesis, so his YEC interpretation is not a general Christian interpretation.
That was a bit offensive.
And in reality, imaginative beasts that were drawn so that they would make the story look scary and selling. Using that as an assumption of what the real species were looking is like using cartoon characters as a model of the reality.
Kind of like trusting Homer Simpson as a source for particle physics.
you guarantee? Given you have no expertise in that area…how would you guarantee anything of the sort there?
It’s a figure of speech that communicates my confidence that I am right. I am not literally offering a guarantee. I think you know this.
Wouldnt it be better to actually provide some referencing that dissagrees with the premises in the video?
Better for whom? Not better for me, I learn from my experiences and I know watching AIG videos is a waste of time and disrupts my sense of peace and equanimity.
if one is going to critique someones work
I wasn’t attempting to critique someone’s work, I was attempting to warn people not to bother critquing it, because it will be a waste of time. This is my opinion, presented as such, and I am certainly allowed to express my opinion on the internet. An unsupported opinion will probably only be taken seriously by people who know and trust me, but that’s okay with me, because some people here do know and trust me. I don’t feel the obligation to do other people’s homework for them.
Don’t know if you ever saw this, but I wrote an article up once on a better source for dinosaur/dragon links.
Does science have anything to say about why so many cultures have dragon legends?
Cool.
No I hadn’t, but I think I’ve seen one of the shows on tv that is referenced.
