If humans did not appear on earth until approximately 60 million years after dinosaurs became extinct, then..?
Well, evolution will tell you that Humans did not just appear, but worked their way up from Primeates to Homosapien (what we are today) Human history throughout time had several species evolve from these primates…many existing at the same time with the stronger of the species prevaling and paving the way for the next evolutionary turn…until the modern day Human actually became the dominate species on the planet. And no humans did not appear until about 5 million years ago with Ardipithicus ramidus…and with Homosapiens (modern man) not appearing until about 200,000 years ago. Get your facts straight and not from a book that says the Earth is only 10,000 years old.
That is only because science has got it wrong and people did coexist side by side with dinosaurs not because God created the world. Just because people lived in the same time period as dinosaurs, which I believe is true, doesn’t mean that there is a God. Ok? There is no evidence of a God whatsoever apart from a book. So guess that makes Harry Potter real as well. I think there are many unanswered questions as to how this planet even managed to become so full of life and so many different species that have already become extinct. But to say that God created the earth 6000 years ago and man in his own image is a fairytale. Science tries to explain it but it is not always correct.
They are actually not in the same strata and are a common/purposeful misunderstanding used to support creationalism. Don’t be convinced by the first biased site that you read. Most of the footprints of that age only appear to be human because of erosion and originally were made by much smaller animals. No human, or human evolutionary ancestors footprints have ever been found in strata dated to the same period as the dinosaurs. They have been found with other more recent animals though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_foo… Many, many hoaxes such as this have been attempted and are clearly fraudulent. Here is a discussion about the actual findings of many of the artifacts listed in the links you provided. http://www.geocities.com/athens/agora/39… The artifacts were not recovered by a team of scient
The fossil record of dinosaurs is tremendous. There is 150 years of peer reviewed scientific analysis on evolution, with millions of reputable and well understood specimens. I don’t know if these few things are just errant geologic occurrences (i.e. the footprints were laid down 60Myrs apart, but due to circumstances appear to be together), or whether the foot prints aren’t human, or it’s all just a load of hooey. Regardless. A handful of questionable fossils hardly wipes out a 150 years of well understood science. But- believe what you wish.
Please read the 2nd paragraph of the first link you provided: ” However, initial critical work in the early 1970’s,[1] and more intensive scientific studies in recent years, have convincingly refuted the “man track” claims, and led to their abandonment even by most creationists. The alleged human tracks involve a variety of phenomena, including elongate dinosaur tracks, erosional features, indistinct markings of unknown origin, and a few carvings. ” Even most creationists have abandonded the find at this point, because it turns out that the evidence doesn’t really indicate what you claim it does. Human footprints have several distinctive features, these prints were just vaguely foot shaped apparently. Hell, there’s FAR more conclusive proof of bigfoot tracks existing than these supposed ancient human tracks, as the bigfoot tracks at least seem to have dermal ridges at first to the observer….
