If dragons are defined in such a way as to just be another unremarkable reptile such as a large snake then they very well could exist but that existence is not particularly significant. That wasn't the definition I was using when I said "There is evidence against for example the existence of dragons on earth."

If OTOH you are defining a dragon as something with supernatural powers and a lack of natural limitations and assert that it uses those powers to hide itself or to survive in a place where it would leave no evidence for us to see (in space, deep under ground, at the bottom of the ocean, on some sort of alternate dimension or parallel universe, ect.) then I will agree that there is no real evidence against the existence of this sort of dragon. "Dragon" by this definition would be a supernatural thing. We don't have any scientific evidence for or against the supernatural. By definition the supernatural is outside of science.
