They both appear together in Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, Illinois, Missouri, and Kentucky.


do you have a reference for this contention of dinosaur and human foot prints? paluxy is not true.

How do you KNOW the DNA is junk? There are many languages. That doesn't mean that, if someone is speaking Hebrew, that his words are meaningless. Also, I know how much information is in the DNA. A couple Harry Potter series doesn't seem like much, but it is when you consider your DNA a job application to Natural Selection, because it will get rid of DNA that's not favorable. Even one letter change is enough to make your DNA meaningless. For instance, if I write the sentence, "I like looking at butterflies because, in my opinion, they are beautiful," and I change one letter, the I, the whole sentence is meaningless. Who is looking at butterflies because, in his or her opinion, they are beautiful. If we substitute you instead of I, it changes the whole meaning of the sentence. It means it's YOUR opinion that the butterflies are beautiful, and not mine.

This makes no sense. There is one "language" for DNA's interpretation.

DNA is not subject to English Grammar. That is a bad analogy. Genes have a start and stop sequence at their beginnings and ends, so if a mutation occured, it would be contained within one gene and couldn't "make your DNA meaningless".

I'm putting you on my ignore list because you keep making up BS to promote your agenda. Almost nothing you have said in your last 10 posts is correct scientifically, but you lie to us.

EDIT: To answer your first question, I refer you to the wonderful http://www.google.com

Ok, i tried, but i just couldnt stand it one more second when floody started talking in the 3rd person. Maybe it takes all of them to come up with this ****. It really is a big job for just one person ya know. :doh:
Corvus agrees that it's weird to refer to oneself in the third person. Corvus would never do anything like that, because Corvus thinks its pretentious.

At least that's Corvus' opinion

It doesn't mention any dinosaur tracks. Am I missing something?

There are so many cases of human references to giant reptiles that it would be a substantial task to begin listing them, so many depictions in ancient artwork, beyond the Ica examples which have also been abundantly reproduced in forgeries. Of course they are not labeled "dinosaur."

There are also numerous illustrations of events related to Noah's Ark from Non-biblical cultures.

And now I await your demmand that I produce the List.

There are numerous flood myths from many cultures, some which predate the biblical account.

So no dinosaur/human tracks then, right? I guess I wasn't missing anything.

Maybe you should have grabbed a Shovel.

We are also apes, so what is your point?

It is the fact that we have more DNA in common with chimps than with any other animal that is important, not the exact amount of differences. And you have a few mutatuions of your own... guess you are dead.


GodsSamus said:
Archaeopteryx appears AFTER the first true bird in your Geologic Column,
Nonsense. What species are you refering to?

GodsSamus said:
the horse evolution has many discrepencies, one of which is the fact that the horses appear in America, travel all the way to Europe, then back to America;
WOW! You have no understanding of history. Horses evolved in North America and migrated to Europe. They went extinct in North America and were re-introduced here by Europeans.

The Paluxy River tracks are either forgeries carved into the rock, or incomplete dinosuar footprints. The rest of your examples are probably as wrong.

I was referring to Eudimorphodon.

I wasn't refering just to the Paluxy River, but many footprints. I bet you're making a theory up and trying to find evidence to support it.

Kind of like your claim of human/dinosaur footprints found together all over the world right? You provided 1 link. The link did not mention anything about dinosaur pictures. Did I miss something? Can you give us a name or location? Who found it? Where can we see these amazing finds now?

Read The Collapse of Evolution.
Oh yeah, that's a must read.

From one review:

Says Huse, "The basic premise of [evolution] is that hydrogen gas, given enough time, will eventually turn into people." In his chapter on mathematical evidences, Huse demonstrates that the probability of even the simplest forms of life originating purely by accident is about the same as the probability of a monkey typing a perfect unabridged dictionary.

I had to stop reading there, as I was anticipating the mention of a tornado in a junkyard, and I don't enjoy laughing while eating.

Remember the Lord created the world as if it was older than it was. Because the trees where put in place and the fish of the sea, they didn't grow from nothing.

So God created the world to look older than it truly is? Well that was stupid of him.

Quite right, according to YEC's
According to YEC's, they didnt grow at all. They were created-poof- from magic (any unexplained process- from wikipedia)
There is no difference between 'abracadabra' and 'God said, let there be'

Quite correct
I misquoted
"And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground"
IOW, "Ground, I command you to grow trees"

Another way of saying Magic

Or as i like to call it- Poof
