The Las Cruces Fossil Human Footprints
Jerry MacDonald

Posted on 10/07/2005 8:30:28 AM PDT by Dinobot

I'm new to the forum and the reason I joined is because of a thread started around 2001 concerning my paleontological research in the Las Cruces area and my discovery of Late Paleozoic Fossil Footprints. In thread 6 (2001) there is a picture of Don Patten and his "amazing human footprint in 100 MYO limestone. I was impressed with the fact that you all clearly could see it as a fake. The troglodite kneeling next to this fraudulent track is not me but Patton, though thr caption clearly suggests that it is me in the photo. In the evolution (!) of this fraud, these people now say that they found the human prints before I started my work, so that they can claim it as a creationist site and make me the intruder. Anyway, here I am. If you want to know about this stuff, lets get an updated thread going.

This isn't a creationist site.

A darwinist told me that creationism and ID were the same things.  I believe him.  I also believe that I'm related to blue green alge.

Welcome to Free Republic. It took you four years to get here to set the record straight?

Be prepared sometimes topics get off track. Welcome to FR. I dont know Paleontology, but I watched a commercial about Holiday Inn last night.

Welcome aboard,
I would be very interested in an update of the Las Cruzes footprint site by somebody that knows a little about geology and or paleontology. A history of the find and the dispute would be appreciated. I seem to remember something from 15 or 18 years ago about forged human prints among dinosaur prints in an ancient mud flat.
Thank you

The early line has Alley Oop at 4-1, Fred Flintstone at 5-2, Raquel Welch at even money.

I'll stay tuned.

You mentioned "Thread 6" but I found this one, showing Patten...

Ah! A medved thread! Now that was insanity! But, while it has a picture of Dr. Don Patton, he's standing by an alleged dinosaur picture drawn by a supposed human eyewitness.

Here's Patton's Dino Footprint Stuff on a creationist site. We've probably done a thread on that sometime, but I have no distinct recollection of same.

BTW, there's no use pinging medved. He was banned a couple of years back.

Or the psychic parrot, or the transmutation of elements with radio waves, or instantaneous light, or "the Kronia hypothesis," or the strange elongation of a 100-million year Earth history into 4.5 billion.

You've had at least one good book review. That puts you ahead of me.

So there are 16 troglodites and 1 human response. You're right. This is certainly not a creationist site! I didn't think it was. Did I say it was? Heaven forbid! Oh, that's right....there is no heaven associated with this forum. Well then, to hell with you all. Oh, there's no hell either. Just tired Lennon groupies imagining over and over and over..... All seriousness aside, You certainly did seem to have a battle on your hands back in 2002. I've got to go back and find the thread myself. Your forum came up on a search I did on updating published research on my discoveries (real--not imagined) though I do live about 120 miles from roswell. I am surprised fred flintstone has not made the claim that the tracks I found were alien. You all seem to be so interesting--- those desending from blue-green algae (a slimeball?) and a few evolutionary dead-ends among the respondents! This cross-section of evolutionary progress is remarkable. All living in a free republic, no less. I don't consider my father to be a slime-ball, I'm still debating the point.

Now look.......I read your comments as carefully as a roswellian (or is it orwellian) can. I really thought that sarcasm was one of the requirements for joining this august (or is it March) forum. I don't believe that it is possible to hurt the feelings of those of us descended from algae (is your first name Matt?) I can get real sarcastic. All in good fun. I don't belong here in the wilderness of New Mexico --- was raised somewhere else ---- not sure where, my ancestors did not develop the ability to speak until after the ice age. But I'll get 'em to talk. U betcha there. Oh ya. I am happy to trade linguistic poopydoopy for a few introductory posts, then perhaps the cream of the crop, (the gas emmisions in the slime?) can rise above the heights of terra firma and wax wonderful.

I will find the posts and provide a link. Right now it is missing. (I couldn't resist)
