How did the Christian Saint George kill a dragon when God never made dragons?

Many things that people believe to be Christian are originally pagan. When they converted Europe to Christianity most Europeans continued to be pagan. In order to fully convert Europe the Christians had to take things from paganism and incorporate them into Christianity in order for the Europeans to fully accept it. This is why things like this don't make much sense when it comes to Christianity.

When it came to certain gods in the pagan mythology often Christians would turn them into saints. "Santa clause" comes from Saint Nicholas for example - who was originally the pagan god Odin/Woden/Wotan.

Saint George was originally the pagan Sigurd, who in the mythology was a dragon slayer. The pagans didn't believe in their god or the mythology in a literal sense the way Christians do. They weren't retarded, they didn't believe in the existence of real dragons. The pagan gods and the stories are metaphors for different forces in nature, even in human nature, with deeper meanings.

It was explained by BBC's Primeval. There was time anomaly and a dino came through. See how easy it is?

In my country, dragon is slang for ugly women. So whenever we see an okay-ish looking guy with a fugly girlfriend/wife, we say that he's Saint George. Who knows, maybe Saint George actually killed an ugly woman and became a here of sorts for having tried to rid the earth of ugly women.

It depends was it a demon because demons can disguises as dragons?

Also I believe there where many different creatures that God made that might have survived the flood.

For dragons to exist, does God need to create it? In the book of Job, it describes the leviathan as a dragon like creature that breathes fire, has scales, etc. God, in chastising Job, proclaims that he made the behemoth, but does not make the same claim in regards to the leviathan.

How did God make the sun stop in the sky for Joshua without causing us to all die from stopping the earth's rotation about its axis? It's all nonsense fairy tales

There are far more problems with "First there was nothing and then it blew up." than there would be for an omnipotent being to suspend the laws of nature and physics for a period of time.

Dragon may be a metaphor like how when Saint Patrick drove out "snakes" they meant pagans. Maybe when they say dragons they mean powerful people who abused their power and/or citizens. Also they could mean demons, which could appear as dragons

Obviously Adam and Eve made Dragons when they used magic to create their genitals how else would we exist?
