Question for everyone, Evolution vs Creationism?

Question

I have noticed something here on yahoo answers from people. There are some people who are suggesting that there are human footprints in dinosaur footprints and asking "Atheists" to explain that.

Now to me, an Agnostic, the answer is pretty obvious, Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago and homo sapiens didn't arrive on the scene until about 300,000 years ago. A footprint is not evidence scientifically to suggest species were contemporaries.

So my question is, are people who ask this, do they really think Dinosaurs were contemporaries of people? Why do they think that?

Is this a manipulation of some NOT ALL denominations in the United States of America, a brain washing of sorts on children's minds?

Is this the fault of science educators?

I went to Catholic School grades 6-12 and learned The Theory of Evolution.

Answer 1

Yes you are correct. The scientist are not doing the right thing here.
I need to go for a sh|t. If i meet one , i'll ask him to log in.

But still the ed|ots will say - " so what "
you cannot leave your traditional things very easily.

Answer 2

What they're referring to is a river bed in Texas. There was a shallow lake bed there when the dinosaurs were around and the sediment hardened and preserved their footprints. Then a river was formed, probably after the last ice age, and the same thing happened hardened mud preserved footprints of the native Americans. The movement of the river removed sediment and exposed the dinosaur footprints. Low and behold, dinosaur prints are side by side with humans.

They are not on the same layer when the sediments were laid down. The sediments are not even the same base material.

Creationists like to pick and choose their evidence without doing any critical analysis.

Answer 3

Lets put one thing straight first.
PURE Science and PURE Religion do not contradict each other
Evolution is a Scientific THEORY it is NOT Pure Science.
God has Created Rules and follows them.
God is Logical he does not contradict himself.
There is only ONE True Religion.

Evolution is a theory that all living creatures evolved from some a common evolutionary ancestor.
Evolution also states that this creature evolved from rocks and rain. the reverse steps are
animals and plants - single celled organism - prehistoric cell and mitocondria and chloroplasts - ooze that contains building blocks of life - rocks and acid rain - lava and gases from volcanoes.
that is what unpure-science claims you evolved from
Evolutionary Theory also is missing too many pieces to make a detailed map or picture. like making a puzzle with only 0.1% to 1% of the pieces. doesn't work period.

and since religion gives the only other alternative i'll have to go with the belief that we ARE created by God.
after all how does a quatinary biological programing language (DNA) that works actually come into existance by accident.
there is too much order in the universe for it to have just happened.
and even though there is the theory that an organism arrived on earth via a comet or asteroid it still had to come from some where and if you are saying it evolved it still came from a rock.

Answer 4

I went to Catholic School as well, grades K-8, and learned the Theory of Evolution in school. It wasn't until I went to public school that evolution was not taught.

I personally do not think it is physically possible for Dinosaurs to be comtemporaries of people and it blows my mind to think that anyone could believe that.

Answer 5

I think the parents have more to do with an individual child's stupidity factor, than the institutions they are educated by. You and I went to private christian schools and are both intelligent and in a state of rejection of the bible. I don't know about your parents, but mine were also as christian as the schools they put me in. But, I overcame those handicaps and have emerged as my own person with my own ideas about reality and the world around me. How? I'm not sure. I started questioning what I was taught, and have never looked back. I'm glad that my mind was able to resist the brainwashing. My sister was not so lucky.

Answer 6

It's hardly the fault of science educators. I suspect these are the people who watch the Flintstones and think it's a documentary.

*Gasp* Catholic School? You poor thing.

Answer 7

Because they need to explain how dinosaurs existed in their incorrect "young earth" model.

My question to christians when they claim that dinosaurs and people lived together and that dinosaurs were killed during the great flood is "Didn't god command moses to take ALL animals onto the ark? Why then didn't he take the dinosaurs?"

Answer 8

Human footprints in dinosaurs is easy to manufacture, just go make one in a dinosaur footprint. Creationist are IDiots.

Answer 9

Creation by God supports every one of the laws and principles of science, as cited. Evolution violates every one of them. Every so-called scientific fact in support of the general theory of (macro-)evolution from atheistic and anti-theistic scientists is not testable-repeatable.
Evolution has never been observed.
Evolution violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
There are no transitional fossils.
The theory of evolution says that life originated, and evolution proceeds, by random chance.
Evolution is only a theory; it hasn't been proved

Answer 10

You see, part of this whole "evolution" issue is the FACT that the dating techniques are faulty.
I believe the bible and it tells us the age of the earth (around 6 thousand years).

But because most people have put their faith in how a human can tell the date of an object, most people (including a lot of Christians) believe that the Earth is older then it is.
