Dinosaur and Human footprints?

Question

I am an atheist, and I don't know how to explain this. Can an athiest who knows fill me in on how this is possible. The only thing I can think of is the layers have been shifted over time so they overlap or something. Maybe similar to N transforms in archaeology. Anyway does anyone have the scientific reason behind these footprints. I would like to know incase a christian brings it up in an argument against me haha!

I'm mainly talking about the 'Taylor Trail', it seems to be the main one.

Nikki s, you do realize what you are saying just further enforces the sterotype of stupid christians. For some reason you think he evolved straight from monkeys which is not true. we are just closely related and have similar ancestry. Get your facts straight!

Answer 1

The ones in Texas are a proven fraud. You should be able to find lots of information on the web.

Answer 2

I am thinking you are referring to the prints found along the Paluxy River in Texas. There is a print that seems to look like a human print. However, paleontologists say that it is a dinosaur footprint that is just a bit deformed. Even a lot of creationists do not believe it is a human footprint. There are still some that try to make the claim.

I took a geology class from a guy who went there and looked at the print when it was first discovered (or at least when it hit the news back then). He studied it and said that it was a dinosaur footprint because it was missing a couple of digits in the print. Later when he looked at it again, those missing digits were now there. It seems that the fossil print magically grew over night.

Answer 3

Atheists cannot explain it. The layers are not disrupted; the footprints are in the exact same layer and are not "washed in" from somewhere else.
They also cannot explain the fact that these footprints are those of giants. The footprints are those of 12-foot-tall humans, with a stride of 3 feet. Some of the prints are barefeet, while others are shod. Some of the human footprints are actually IN the dinosaur prints, which show that the humans and the dinosaurs were running in the same direction, with the humans behind. They were probably running from rapidly rising floodwaters. We know that before the Flood, there were giants. The atmosphere was such that gigantism among humans and animals was common.

Answer 4

the dinosaur print next to human print has been studied by mainstream and alternative historians.The prints have been said to be from the same period of time,it is very controversial right now because history is turning more and more evidence pushing the age of man back millions of years earlier than what we are taught to believe.The dating of the prints are said to go back more than 60 million years at a time when man was not supposed to be around but people are uncovering more information to support a older history for humans.If you want you could read a book called forbidden archeology.It has evidence in it concerning the hidden history of man,or you could look up some websites dealing with ooparts(out of place artifacts).There's some pretty interesting things that might make you question what we think we know

Answer 5

Oh they'll bring it up in an argument. What they won't do is back down, even though it is proven to be a false claim. (Dishonesty is tenacious when necessary for an agenda...)

They were dinosaur tracks.

You'll probably also encounter more blatant BS such as the 'fossilised foot' found in situ in a cowboy boot.

I don't see how they claim to be so moral and religious when they lie so blatantly. I sometimes feel like we are travelling back in time to the days of PT Barnum and travelling 'freakshows', where people are eager to believe in quack claims, fake mummies, dried monkeyfish and '9th Wonders Of The World', as long as it is in opposition to 'science'.

Answer 6

This has been proven to be a fraud. First the footprint were not human or even remotely human and second the land owner actually modified several to make them more human like.

There are several other claims that have been discredited: There is a claim that human footprints have been found with trilobites in them and that a hammer was found in Cretaceous deposits (London Texas Hammer). These have been proven to be untrue as well.

Answer 7

There were no human footprints in, next to or near dinosaur prints. Here's a site that might help.

Answer 8

Eve sitting in a very sexy frock next to an over sized velociraptor


Genesis 2:25 says of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden:
"And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."

There were no frocks, sexy or otherwise, before the fall! Whoever organized this exhibit is guilty of heresy!! BURN HIM!!!

Answer 10

If you are talking about the so-called human footprints near Glen Rose, TX, they are simply not human footprints. Look at the website below.

Answer 11

I believe in God, and i believe god created everyhitn g, and every animal..It would make sense to have dinos and men walking the earth the same time when science has insisted that we were all barely coming out of the caves, covered in hair like our monkey relatives..lol..anyways..a cute little joke is that if eveolution has turned monkeys into humans, why then do we still have monkeys..I dont see any other wildlife that has supposedly evolved around do you..where are the giant creatures of yesteryear that has supposedly turned into all the furry little creatures we have today..why are monkeys the only animal that hasnt changed, aside from alligators and such
