They sure can tell a lot from a foot print.
What color hair did he have?

Homo maybe but modern NO. Humans in flesh did not exist during this time period.

That must be a mistake, isn’t the Earth only like 3000 years old?

If they were advanced, you can bet they didn’t find the footprints in Washington.

Am I the only one who sees 3 toes? Maybe I don't have any imagination today.

Just looking at that print anyone can see it was a male with black bushy hair and dark skin, plus a mole on the left cheek. Oh, and the print was made on the week end.

And you thought CSI was good!

LOL! they always do that, a drawing from a tooth, or a footprint. It’s such an OBVIOUS propaganda.

Once again, the OBSERVATIONS are right, the ASSUMPTIONS are wrong.

OBSERVATION: Humans in the past had same foot we have now.

ASSUMPTIONS: well, if you can’t see them, my pointing them out won’t help!

Always with the drawings of half-monkey/half people. A trained animal could tell you this was propaganda!

No, humanoid flesh is clearly 1,500,000 years old like the NY Times said.

I saw 4 toes or possibly a 5th toe squeezed in between the big toe (right) and the middle toe.

Geez...Can't you read a si8mple footprint!!

The guy wore high heels during the day...not that there's anything wrong with that. Really messed up his feet.

This print is after an 8 hour day at "The Rock and Roll", a factory which makes wheels.

He's on his way to the creek to soothe his feet.

Maybe he was busy working at the mint making new coinage for the deficit spending of his clan.

Actually, you can

Why do you and other Christians fight this and find it so threatening? I’m a Christian, believe in Intelligent Design, have studied science for years and believe these findings tell us a lot about how we got here. Human evolution, the Big Bang, etc do not negate God at all.
