    @ mammoth troll

    Roland T. Bird in a 1939 article in Natural History (43:5.254-61) mentioned giant carved human footprints from Glen Rose, Texas. Clifford Burdick refusing to believe the prints were carved, searched and located the prints in 1945. In 1961 pictures of these tracks appeared in The Genesis Flood. In 1970 Stanley Taylor with a film crew dammed up the Paluxy River to produce the film Footprints in Stone which claimed dinosaur and human footprints are found together.

    References to these footprints and other alleged instances are all over the internet and in books printed decades ago.

    Next time before you go trolling - maybe you should do some research.

    Only complete total mindless idiots believe in creationism. Human footprints indeed. Prove it.
