Dinosaurs & Palin

I was astounded to read that Sarah Palin believes that the earth is 6000 years old and that this belief is based on human and dinosaur tracks occurring together.

That would be the Palux River Tracks, near Glen Rose TX. It was in the early eighties that Henry Morris, Director of the Institute for Creation Research told me at Christian Heritage College in El Cajon CA that "we're not using that any more." Even he had reluctantly concluded that it was a manufactured phenomenon.

That Sarah Palin would still find this fraud convincing twenty years later says something both about the Creationists' dishonesty and Sarah Palin's gullibility.
