I also agree with both Ross and Baugh...there's plenty of evidence for Creation.

Carl Baugh (b. ?). Source (links in original):

Carl Baugh is best known as a tireless proponent of the claim that human footprints appear alongside dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy Riverbed of Glen Rose, Texas. He has appeared on numerous Christian radio talkshows and was even touted as an "expert" on the 1996 NBC pseudoscience program, The Mysterious Origins of Man. He operates a small museum out of Glen Rose, Texas.

Baugh is a Baptist minister who claims to be an archeologist with a Ph.D. from the California Graduate School of Theology in Los Angeles. This school is unaccredited by the Western Assocation of Schools and Colleges, the primary body responsible for college and university accreditation in the region. It is also unaccredited by the state of California, although it is listed as "approved".

Baugh has also claimed Ph.D. degrees in education and anthropology from the Pacific College of Graduate Studies in Melbourne, Australia and the College of Advanced Education in Irving, Texas. According to Glen Kuban, who has thoroughly researched Baugh's Paluxy "man-track" claims and his credentials, neither Pacific College nor the College of Advanced Education is accredited or authorized by any regional or national body to grant degrees [4]. Pacific College is a small religious school run by Australian creationist Clifford Wilson, a close associate of Baugh's. The College of Advanced Education is a division of the International Baptist College, of which Baugh himself is president.

Baugh's dissertation for his degree from Pacific College is titled "Academic Justification for Voluntary Inclusion of Scientific Creation in Public Classroom Curricula, Supported by Evidence that Man and dinosaurs were Contemporary". Its contents include descriptions of his field-work on the Paluxy river "man-tracks", speculation about Charles Darwin's religious beliefs and phobias, and odd ramblings about the biblical Adam's mental excellence.

Baugh may be a clown, a crank, a fraud, and a charlatan, but that doesn't disqualify him from being a good creation scientist.

For your information....Carl lives in the town many of my Scottish relatives help to found....Glen Rose was originally a Scottish Settlement. My Dad knew Carl well.

It's understandable why Carl moved to Glen Rose, TX. Example: When my Dad was a little boy, He played in all the caves around Glen Rose....he found a skull...gave it to the local Rhodes scholar [Bull Adams] that lived in Glen Rose, he sent it to NYC for analysis. It was so significant it's now in the UT museum.

There's plenty of crapola regarding right leaning folks including Dr. Ross that have challenged especially Darwin's Evolution Theory. If folks do not have a belief in a God and especially Jesus Christ...then those folks can easily look to the Nanny State as their god...this gives the state lots of control.

I've got a copy of it buried in my files somewhere. (I was occasionally helping Kuban and Ronnie Hastings with their Paluxy field work around this time. I think I got the copy from either Glenn or Ronnie.)

(As I remember...) it's almost unbelievably juvenile, and full of unintentional hilarity. Even the language is funny. Baugh tends to use "big" or fancy sounding words that he doesn't seem to quite know the meaning of.
