Man Did Not Walk With Dinosaurs

America may be based on religious freedom, but that does not include blatant distortion of historical fact to further the dumbing down of American's in the name of religion.

No true scientist nor real archaeologist believes humans and dinosaurs walked the Earth together. This is a part of Creationism which Sarah Palin wants taught in schools.

Sarah Palin not only believes humans walked the Earth together, she claims to have seen human foot prints within dinosaur tracks as evidence. This is not what we need being taught in American schools, this goes against everything we know about dinosaurs and the 65 million year difference between existence times for humans and dinosaurs.



The Los Angeles Times has reported:

Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said.

After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs.

Palin told him that "dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time," Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said "she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks," recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.

The idea of a "young Earth" -- that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago, and dinosaurs and humans coexisted early on -- is a popular strain of creationism.

Look, if there is one thing Libertarians, Democrats, and Republicans can all agree on, can we agree that the Earth is not 6,000 years old? I mean, come on...

Fossil fuel, you know, the gas you put in your car and the natural gas you heat your house with? Fossil fuel was formed from animals that walked the Earth 300 million years ago, you cannot believe in gasoline and believe the Earth is 6,000 years ago. You'd think Sarah "Big Oil" Palin could grasp this simple fact since she does so much business with people getting rich from fossil fuel.
