You are just so much fun, Russ, posting all these
PRATTs. Always good for a laugh eh? Some people are just soooo gullible! You must welcome them here eh?
Human and Dinosaur fossils are commonly found together and in the same strata.
Only since human fossils appeared in the fossil record some 6 million to 200,000 years ago ... depending on your definitions of "human" and "dinosaur" ... by one common definition I had dinosaur thigh for dinner.
http://www.livescience.com/animals/070412_dino_tissues.htmlThe collagen proteins were found hidden inside the leg bone of the T. rex fossil, according to two studies published in the April 13 issue of the journal Science. Collagen is the main ingredient of connective tissue in animals and is found in cartilage, ligaments, tendons, hooves, bones and teeth. It yields gelatin and glue when boiled in water.
A comparison by Asara's team of the amino-acid sequence from the T. rex collagen to a database of existing sequences from modern species showed it shared a remarkable similarity to that of chickens.
So, one wonders,
does it taste like chicken?
Referring to large dinosaurs that died out in the K-T extinction event:
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CH/CH710.html(1) There are no human fossils or artifacts found with dinosaurs, and there are no dinosaur fossils found with human fossils (except birds, which are descended from dinosaurs; out-of-place human traces such as the Paluxy footprints do not withstand examination). Furthermore, there is an approximately sixty-four-million-year gap in the fossil record when there are neither dinosaur nor human fossils. If humans and dinosaurs coexisted, traces of the two should be found in the same time places. At the very least, there should not be such a dramatic separation between them.
(2) If dinosaurs and humans were found together, it would not be evidence against evolution.
I have been to Paluxy and put my foot in a dinosaur footprint that I cleaned out with my own hands:

There are not even any footprints at Paluxy small enough to fit the biggest human, to say nothing about the shapes being all wrong.
There were no human footprints there. There have been
hoax footprints (admitted by the perpetrator), hoaxes that keep getting perpetuated by creationist sites ... and now we get to play the "who keeps using hoaxes" game.
Hint #1:
Hoaxes uncovered by creationists = 0
Hoaxes uncovered by scientists = most
Hoaxes uncovered by media reporters, etc. = some
This is interesting in light of the fact that modern textbooks attempt to teach children that they lived millions of years apart.
The textbooks teach that most dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago and that humans appeared in the fossil record some 6 million to 200,000 years ago, depending on your definition of "human". This is true, as most but not all died out. We are fairly certain that all the BIG dinosaurs died out at that time, but birds are dinosaurs, chickens are dinosaurs.
Surprisingly public school textbooks, ie up to high school, are
not written by scientists, but by lay people working for an editor that wants to please parents in order to sell the most textbooks.
Surprisingly public school textbooks, ie up to high school, are not selected or even evaluated by scientists for accuracy or use, they are predominantly selected by parent groups that help set the curriculum with the teachers.
NOT surprisingly there are a lot of errors and misinformation in textbooks.
Here's a group that perpetuates such errors
http://www.textbookaccuracy.org/Here's a review of public school textbooks
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Teachers/sciencebookerror.htmlSo if you want to blame the textbooks for a bad education, then you need to blame the people that make the textbooks and the people that choose them, especially the people that know
little about the actual science in question that are involved in those decisions. Like most parents (even those with science PhDs are not experts in all branches of science, dentists are not biologists).
Bullfrog.
A good source of creationist lies. You should have stopped with the second word. Fact: Hovind is in jail for fraud, why should he be trusted?
Fact: Hovind has lied about evolution and several other things, why should he be trusted?
http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Pier/1766/hovindlies/http://www.kent-hovind.com/statistics.htmThat is just the beginning.
The real question - relates to that hoax issue above - is why creationists need to lie at all if creationism is true?
Related to that is why do creation websites never remove lies (or hoaxes) from their websites once they have been shown to be lies (or hoaxes)?
Seriously people --
why do creationists need to lie and repeat lies and perpetuate lies if creationism is true? Enjoy
