What is this stuff about human footprints being found in dinosaur tracts?

Question

Can you show me scientific data on this? And how is this any different from Bigfoot where people imagine things?

Answer 1

Being a geologists, I don't see how this could help the creationists much. It certain refutes any claim that the earth is a few thousand years old. For all who chose not to bury their heads in the sand, it is quite obvious the earth is billions of years old, that those are dinosaur prints, and no it is not like those who have examined Bigfoot prints. Bigfoot evidence is trivialized by those who don't understand it and though I realize my credibility will be lost to most, Bigfoot footprint evidence is extremely compelling and simply demonstrates the presence a large secretive primate. Their prints are not imagined nor all all of them faked.

Answer 2

Check out bible.ca. They have a section on this. It's at a state park in Texas. A set of dinosaur footprints crosses a set of human footprints. The only possible way they could have been formed is at nearly the same time.

Answer 3

It's not at all different from the Bigfoot thing, except that there's no real agenda behind the Bigfoot "sightings". In the case of the "human" footprints, it's mistaken identity of dinosaur tracks compounded by deliberate dishonesty on the part of the creationist propaganda organizations.

Answer 4

they were found along the blanco river in Biloxi. If you google it, you can see for yourself.

In part:
"Archeologist Carl Baugh has been investigating similarly juxtaposed footprints in Texas for twelve years, along the Biloxi River near Grandville. Baugh, once skeptical about the tracks, now believes the evidence for man having existed in the Cretaceous period, the time of the disappearance of the dinosaurs, is real. He and his team excavated dinosaur footprints which run alongside twelve large human footprints in a measured series. Judging by the gait of the individual who left the prints, Baugh says, the prints have to be attributed to humankind. While some insist that the prints are a well-executed hoax, Baugh counters, saying that the prints ran under undisturbed limestone ledges that he and his team painstakingly excavated and removed. Both sets of footprints continue under the ledges, rendering the possibility of recent access to the evidence impossible."

Answer 5

In Dinosaur Valley State Park, near Glen Rose, Texas, there are some dinosaur tracks in the rocks of the Paluxy River bed. The tracks are also dinosaur tracks, just made in squishier/slipperier mud.

The webpage below has a number of links to articles examining this and some of the other claims

Answer 6

Yes I have saw pictures very nice. It is much more plausible than if dinosaur tracks were found on human tracks. Then you would have upset the entire theory of evolution. As dinosaurs came before humans naturally any tracks on top would have to be the human. xx

Answer 7

Yeah, I've heard the same thing. What I heard was that there's an place in Texas (it figures) where some dinosaur tracks are exposed, and some tracks that look like human prints are found among them. I also heard that the "human" prints are more likely to be eroded fragments of the dinosaur prints.

Answer 8

Here is what they are talking about

As you can see from the article, the "giant man tracks" were just another dinosaur. This is why you need evidence that can be examined by others. It can be easy to draw the wrong conclusions.

Of course, the Christians keep repeating the error. they think if they do it enough, it will be true.

Answer 9

They were actually proven to both be dinosaur tracks, its just that the footprints were washed away by sediment millions of years ago and that the smaller dinosaur's footprints were mangled into something barely recognizable. Creationists thought they were human footprints, proof that their theory was correct, but it was revealed to be otherwise and so the smart ones moved on to new arguments while the dumb ones keep saying it.

Answer 10

There were no humans during the time of the dinosaurs, though it's possible human footprints were created near petrified dinosaur tracks.
