The New King James (NKJV) Bible Supports Evolution!
In the 1611 King James Bible, all forms of the word “dragon” (dragon, dragons) are found exactly 35 times: 22 times in the Old Testament, and 13 times in the New Testament - all in the Book of Revelation.
The Holy Bible tells us that dragons are real creatures, not myths. For example, Job 41 is a whole chapter about the Leviathan, and the Bible gives us very vivid details about the creature, which according to Isaiah 27:1 is a dragon. However, modern bible versions, including the New King James (NKJV), they do not agree with this view, as we shall examine every single verse in the Old Testament, comparing verse to verse.

In the modern bible versions NKJV, NASB and NIV, it is a fact that the word "dragon" or "dragons" has been replaced by jackals, serpents, sea serpent, sea monster, sea creatures, monster and reptile in almost every case. It is doubtful that the translators of these modern bible versions believe in any real and literal dragons, even to the extent of completely denying their existence, thereby lending weight to the theory of evolution in their translation of the word of God!
