“I am a Baptist minister, but I am not a science-denying Baptist minister who thinks that dinosaurs lived alongside humans a few thousand years ago.”

Surely he wouldn't be so dogmatic as to totally discount the side by side footprints at the Paluxy River, would he? What foolishness... I actually saw some of them when they were fresh.

about half-way into the article:
“Some prominent creationist promoters of these tracks have long since withdrawn their support. Some of the allegedly human tracks may be artefacts of erosion of dinosaur tracks obscuring the claw marks. There is a need for properly documented research on the tracks before we would use them to argue the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs.”

"I actually saw some of them when they were fresh."

~~~~~~~~

So did I -- freshly chiseled into the BOTTOM side of a flipped-over limestone layer, and the largest one actually carved from MUD for photographing and casting.

My wife is from Glen Rose, TX, and her father took me to the "McFall site" on the Paluxy River to show me where he had used his trackloader to turn over limestone slabs for "the man of God who came here to PROVE that man walked alongside the dinosaurs".

I know that charlatan's name -- because he came prepared with a pre-cast plaque -- with his name on it!

As soon as I had carved a big "X" (repairs still visible in later photos) across the biggest mud-carved "giant man track", I headed for the car -- because I refused to stay where Satan was so obviously at work!
