The Bible says that man and all the creatures lived at the same time. Evolutionists claim that dinosaurs were extinct 60 million years before man walked the earth. Any proof that man lived along with dinosaurs, simply destroys the theory of evolution. This is something that evolutionist simply will not accept. Any evidence proving that man and dinosaurs lived concurrently is met with resistance and is quickly explained away, sometimes with rather bizarre explanations. However, the proof still exists that dinosaurs were here for some time after the flood.
The Creation Evidence Museum of Texas has a set of Cretaceous footprints discovered by archaeologist Alvis Delk. This fossil of Glen Rose limestone consists of a dinosaur footprint (Acrocanthosaurus) on top of an eleven-inch human footprint. The human footprint matches several other fossil footprints in the area. Extensive laboratory testing verified the authenticity of both tracks.
The Paluxy Riverbed near Glen Rose, Texas contains imprints of both man and dinosaurs. One of these actually contains a human footprint within a dinosaur footprint. When examined carefully a right human footprint can be seen in compelling detail, almost completely within a dinosaur footprint. Obviously, these would have been made in the same time period when the mud or similar soft earth which later hardened into rock.
The fact that man and dinosaurs were contemporaries on earth is devastating to the evolutionary theory, as geologist Albert G. Ingalls stated:
“If man, or even his ape ancestors, or even that ape ancestors early mammalian ancestor, existed as far back as the Carboniferous Period in any shape, then the whole science of geology is so completely wrong that all the geologists will resign their jobs and take up truck driving.”
As further evidence that man lived alongside dinosaurs, is a fossil human handprint shows astounding detail. Even the print of the thumbnail can be seen. It is also found in the same Glen Rose limestone as the footprints. This limestone is designated as Middle Cretaceous, supposedly 110 million years old and contemporary with the dinosaurs.
Another fossil footprint from the Upper Carboniferous Period was reported by the head of the department at Berea College in Kentucky of a human-like track left in sandstone. Numerous scientists have investigated these tracks and concluded that they are genuine. However, in an attempt to dismiss these tracks, the Scientific American article did not include the real photos in their article, instead showing some pretty obvious fakes and not the actual prints, which they had access to. This is because, as evolutionary atheist Richard Dawkins observed, authenticated evidence of humans in the Carboniferous would “blow the theory of evolution out of the water.”
Skeletons of ten perfectly modern humans have been excavated from fifty-eight feet down in the Dakota Sandstone, over an area spanning about 50 by 100 feet. This formation is a member of the Lower Cretaceous, supposedly 140 million years old. It is known for its dinosaurs and is the same formation found at Dinosaur National Monument, famous for its dinosaurs.
To find evidence of mammals coexisting with dinosaurs would be just as devastating to the theory of evolution as humans would be, as evolutionist Richard Dawkins of Oxford stated:
“If a single, well-verified mammal skull were to turn up in 500 million-year-old rocks, our whole modern theory of evolution would be utterly destroyed.”
There is evidence of mammals embedded in rocks that are supposedly millions of years old, however, so far evolutionists have chosen to ignore them.
A large cat track (9 inches across) was found at Glen Rose, Texas, in the same layer with the Burdick track, Middle Cretaceous, supposedly 110 million years old. Fossilized horse tracks have been found in Uzbekistan along with fossilized dinosaur tracks. In the Grand Canyon horse like hoofprints were visible in rocks that, according to the theory of evolution, predate hoofed animals by more than a hundred million years. Hoofprints are also alongside dinosaur footprints in Virginia. In the Soviet Union scientists have reported more than 2000 fossil dinosaur footprints alongside tracks resembling human footprints.
Sculptures and drawing by early man of dinosaurs testify to the fact that he lived with them or had knowledge of them.
Jose Diaz-Bolio, a Mexican archaeologist from Mexico found an ancient Mayan relief sculpture in Veracruz, Mexico showing a bird-like creature similar to the pteranodon. In the November 1968 Science Digest, Dr. Diaz-Bolio wrote an article entitled “Serpent-bird of the Mayans.” According to Dr. Diaz-Bolio the bird is not merely the product of Mayan flights of fancy, but a realistic representation of an animal that lived during the period of the ancient Mayans – 1,000 to 5,000 years ago.
In 1945 archeologist Waldemar Julsrud discovered clay figurines buried at the foot of El Toro Mountain on the outskirts of Acambaro, Mexico. Eventually, over 33,000 ceramic figurines were found in the area and identified with the Pre-classical Chupicuaro Culture (800 BC to 200 AD). Among the figurines were numerous figurines of dinosaurs. Moreover, the dinosaurs are modeled in very agile, active poses, fitting well with the latest scientific evidence and lending credence to the artists having actually observed these creatures. There has been considerable testing for authenticity, including extensive radiometric dating and thermoluminescent testing by the University of Pennsylvania.
There was extinct ice-age horse remains, the skeleton of a woolly mammoth, and a number of ancient human skulls found at the same location as the ceramic artifacts, validating the antiquity of the site.
Further evidence of the authenticity is the Iguanodon dinosaur figurine. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Iguanodon was completely unknown. It wasn’t until 1978 or 1979 that skeletons of adult Iguanodons were found with nests and babies. Obviously, ancient man was aware of the Iguanodon long before modern man discovered them.
A set of cave paintings found in the Gorozomzi Hills, 25 miles from Salisbury (in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe). For the paintings include a brontosaurus – the 67-foot, 30-ton-like creature scientists believed became extinct millions of years before man appeared on earth. Yet the bushmen who did the paintings ruled Rhodesia from only 1500 B.C., until a couple of hundred years ago. And the experts agree that the bushmen always painted from life. This belief is borne out by other Gorozomzi Hills cave paintings – accurate representations of the elephant, hippo, buck, and giraffe.
There is a petroglyph in Natural Bridges National Monument. The picture above was drawn by North American Anasazi Indians that lived in the area that has now become Utah approximately 150 B.C. – 1200 A.D.
God spoke of two creatures in the Book of Job which were obviously dinosaurs. The Behemoth, a very large creature that had a tail like a cedar tree and the Leviathan, a huge fierce sea-going creature with a coat of armor and fearsome teeth. A monster that terrifies even the strong and cannot be harmed.
This is a small sampling of the evidence that man and dinosaurs co-existed that is contained in my book. My book also contains evidence of what the earth was like before the flood. How the flood changed the geology of the earth. Evidence proving evolution cannot happen, and much, much more.
