The limestone contains two distinct prints — one of a human footprint and one belonging to a dinosaur. The significance of the cement-hard fossil is it shows the dinosaur print partially over and intersecting the human print. In other words, the stone’s impressions indicate the human stepped first, the dinosaur second.

Yeah. It’s as hard as communication with someone who has difficulty discerning when their leg is being pulled ever-so-gently...
You do realize that there is no scientific evidence of dinosaurs, nor a global flood, about 4,350 years ago?
Remember New Orleans during Katrina?
Of course it does..... Unless you are terribly over edjumicated and know them dinos stepped on your pappy’s prints on the way to the still.
ID Ackbar.... and a jihad on you fools that doubt my cement proof. I founded it in the bottom of the seeeement pond.
FRiend..... there is no point in arguing with Jethro Bodeen. He graduated seventh grade.

Sorry for my delay. I was evolving my horses (well, training them, actually)
I was raised on a farm, and made my living for 29 yrs farming (livestock and crops). During that span I saw some pretty amazing things happen on the floodplain ground that we farmed. Depending on the amount of rain, and the velocity of the water, the floods would cut ditches and/or build muddy sand dunes, some as high as three feet with anything from tree branches to entire trees embedded. Sometimes there would be dead animals, but I never found one human body in my efforts to level the burms and remove the vegetation.
Has anyone ever tried to compute what a flood such as the one told of in the Bible would do? Is it possible that some undersea currents may have reached speeds of unheard of in todays oceanographic research?

“You can imagine how a desert rat like me took to the three Pacific Northwest seasons: cold rain, warm rain, and dry (with intermittent periods of...rain). Thought I was going to have to develop gills and webbed feet to survive!”
Yes it can be wet, but those of us from here are born with webbed feet....evolution, LOL!
**Remember New Orleans during Katrina?**
LOL!!
(But also sad to think that people allow themselves to be dumbed down to that extent)
I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of time, and I believe that it is our lack of understanding of it from God’s perspective which inhibits our ability to reconcile all these differences together.
I do, however, believe that God created the earth in 6 literal days and the reason for this is the following -
Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Here God very clearly relates His six days of work and seventh day of rest to a literal six day work week and a sabbath day of rest. Now why would He do that if not to demonstrate that the use of the word “day” - yowm in both instances, were to be taken as a literal 24 hour period? (By the way, the word yowm is used as a literal day 2008 times in scripture as opposed to 64 for general period.)
From His perspective, maybe the time it took for the information to reach earth was much longer - in fact, here is an interesting article discussing such a thing - http://aish.com/societywork/sciencenature/Age_of_the_Universe.asp)
Poor kitty.....or jack o’ lantern.
“You do realize that there is no scientific evidence of dinosaurs, nor a global flood, about 4,350 years ago?”
Ah but science is just a lie.
(light christian sarcasm)
All we have to do is look at historical floods. The post-glacial floods in southern and eastern Washington that created the Channeled Scablands are a great example. We can track the path of the floods, see seasonal movements of water, and get good dates on it all. And this series of floods is twice as old, or more, than the purported global flood.
If we can read the evidence for the post-glacial floods, not just in Washington state but in a number of places, should we not be able to track a global flood 4,350 years ago?
There is just no such evidence.
Ah but science is just a lie.
(light christian sarcasm)
I realize some folks feel that science is a lie, but the evidence is there whether we believe in it or not. And disbelief won't make it go away no matter how hard some folks try.
As a Christian it does bother me that other believers seem to take a “burn the scientist at the stake” view on things. Science has yet to prove anything that is strong enough to shake my faith, why in the world would it shake theirs?
Proto-Humans tasted like chicken
“Human had his pet dino out for a walk after supper. ;’)”
Dammit, Dino, I said, “Heel!”
I’m sure his last words were, “Wil-mah!”
“We know absolutely...”????
Please help me with this one. I thought there were no absolutes? Also, I thought every thing was expressed scientifically as a theory? (Or, a hypothesis.)
After all, the purpose of evolution, and the accompanying eons upon eons of time theory, is to obscure religion with the pat response that given enough time everything we think happened happened. Ok, sorry, that was a cheap shot.
Look, there is no science that can prove absolutely that the stars preexisted the earth or that they preexisted 10,000 BC. Unless you can produce witnesses who saw the stars created before the earth you have only theory and hypotheses, not scientific proof.
You may be right about what you believe, though I doubt the ancient universe theories myself, but you need to understand that it is a belief, not a fact. It can never be fact. Your belief may be a fact, but the object of your belief is not and can never be, a provable, repeatable fact or condition. It is forever out of your grasp, I am sorry to say. No one has ever created a star, and science is not even decided on how stars were formed except in the very highest level of explanation which is tantamount to “somehow stuff came together and became a star.” When they use their “jargonator” powers, though, it sounds very certain and oh so very sophisticated, but it is not much more definitive than my playful vulgarization.
