Dinosaur Ruses on the Internet

Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, the Bible Answer Man broadcast (09/03/20), Hank follows up on a question he was asked on yesterday’s broadcast on whether dinosaurs and human beings lived during the same time period. The short answer is no, as Hank said yesterday. But unfortunately, if you were to look up that question online, you would find out that the internet is awash with supposed evidence that points in the exact opposite direction. Young Earth creationists point to human footprints discovered alongside dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy Riverbed of Glen Rose, Texas. And so it is argued that these footprints in stone prove not only that dinosaurs lived contemporaneously with human beings, but that the world is a mere six thousand years old. In truth, while footprints of carnivorous dinosaurs are in evidence, there’s no compelling evidence whatsoever for human footprints in the same time and space. In fact, many prints claimed to be human are merely erosion patterns—an illustration of wish giving birth to reality.
