Palin: "Yes, I have Seen Images Of Dinosaur Fossils With Human Footprints In Them"

[kpete]

#
Aha!

It was only a matter of time. The first piece of evidence that Sarah Palin thinks man and dinosaur walked the earth together has finally emerged.

Another valley activist, Philip Munger, says that Palin also helped push the evangelical drive to take over the Mat-Su Borough school board. "She wanted to get people who believed in creationism on the board," said Munger, a music composer and teacher. "I bumped into her once after my band played at a graduation ceremony at the Assembly of God. I said, 'Sarah, how can you believe in creationism -- your father's a science teacher.' And she said, 'We don't have to agree on everything.'

"I pushed her on the earth's creation, whether it was really less than 7,000 years old and whether dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. And she said yes, she'd seen images somewhere of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them."

Sometimes you just wish God, assuming He does exist, would come down and say: "You people are crazy. The idea that a nation of humans is considering electing you to high office frightens and insults Me."

[Happyhippychick]

1. I saw the same thing once. Of course I had eaten a few mushrooms and smoked a doobie or two...

[Blaze Diem]

17. Ok, I saw the same thing in the 70's,at an Alice Cooper Concert (Welcome to My Nightmare)

& after your testimony, I know it was the shrooms talking to me in tongues, like at one of McPalin's Assembly O'God Tongue Talking Sessions.
Maybe she ate what we ate?
hmm

[anonymous171]

2. Another reason why they are hiding her from the media.

[d_b]

3. Jesus Christ....

[ContinentalOp]

6. Lol@ kirk cameron

Maybe Palin will give us one of those awesome banana demonstrations. You know the one that shows how it curves just right toward your mouth as god intended?

[d_b]

9. lol.

clowns.

[progressoid]

87. Ha ha! That's one of my fave videos!

The idea of HER doing the banana bit would have the RWers in a tizzy.



The sexual innuendos are endless!

[Aqaba]

12. Cheeses of Nazareth!

[krkaufman]

61. Ugh. Now you're going to have me searching Nightline archives ....

... for this Kirk Cameron appearance. It has to be worth a few laughs.

[Starry Messenger]

63. Youtube

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kirk+cameron+nightline&search_type=&aq=3&oq=kirk+camer

I have a morbid interest in Kirk Cameron since we were both born 10-12-70. I am a skeptic atheist, so I like to hold him up as proof that astrology is BS too.

MPK

[JuniperLea]

82. It's all about the balance, MPK...

You had to be born that day to tip the scale against that weirdo:)

[Starry Messenger]

104. Ha! Good point. Thanks! n/t

[Curtland1015]

4. Wow...

WOW. Someone PLEASE get this crazy bitch away from the white house!

[Curtland1015]

5. Dupe

Dupe

[anigbrowl]

7. Fruit loop! But we must remember,,,

that this is basically just hearsay by someone, and hearsay isn't good evidence. Don't get over-excited by the possibilities until there's more evidence to back up the charge.

[krkaufman]

62. Yes, single-sourced hearsay... no more credible than the "Sambo" comments...

... and no more potent lacking corroboration.

[hedgehog]

8. Here you go - if it's on the net, it must be true, right?

http://www.bible.ca/tracks/tracks.htm

[vanderBeth]

10. Somebody had to ride the Jesus horses.

[PermanentRevolution]

11. Wait, how would that even work?

Like, they were kung-fu kicking the dinosaurs so hard, it left scars in their bones?

[chatnoir]

44. LOL! Excellent - I'm in tears here

:rofl:

[PermanentRevolution]

48. Ha! Thank you!

I was afraid my wit was going unnoticed...

:toast:

[chatnoir]

56. I was lmao at that one - thank you!

A :spray: comment for sure

:toast:

[Az]

13. Please let her site the banana argument against evolution

I would give good money if she tried to use the banana argument.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG4xn3Gi80Q

[BadgerKid]

22. LOL.

Never seen that before. :thumbsup:

[Beartracks]

23. Oh. My. God.

I have never seen nor heard of this "argument" before.

My first thought is: why aren't apples shaped like bananas? Canteloupes? Tomatoes? Why aren't ALL fruits and veggies designed to be 5-sided, curved toward the face and mouth, with a tab on top, a perforated skin that folds back without squirting the contents in your face, that also indicates ripeness, and where the contents are soft and easy to chew?

[berni_mccoy]

37. The ironic thing is he's proving evolution. The fruits that are most easily accessible by animals

In this case, primates, the farther the seeds are cast. The banana tree has evolved to be this way. Many other plants adapt to the way their fruits are consumed and the seeds are spread.

[Beartracks]

49. Or - proving that bananas were designed for primates!

God designed the banana as the perfect food for man's precursor species. :thumbsup:

[EstimatedProphet]

78. What's really funny is this:

The banana grown for market today is bred to be just as they describe it. Bananas aren't naturally curved towards the mouth, or have even-splitting 5 peels with a pull tab. some do, some don't. the banana we find in markets today is that way on purpose all right - they bred them that way to make them easier to eat! IT'S MAN'S WORK THAT MADE THEM THAT WAY!

[Ian David]

100. Which still doesn't explain why Kirk Cameron's penis is shaped like a banana. n/t

[Beartracks]

107. So they really are intelligently designed! n/t

[Az]

38. And don't forget that the banana has been domesticated

That is they have been manipulated for centuries by humans. Wild bananas are hardly the convenient fruit modern bananas are.

[Beartracks]

46. Domesticated? Oh!

So much for my theory on how God wanted corn to be easy for man to harvest so He makes it grow in rows. On farms. :eyes:

[Quantess]

118. That had me in tears I laughed so much.

:rofl:

[MichiganVote]

14. Unfuckingbelievable.

[timeoutofjoint]

96. Unfuckingbelievable yes--that some would believe rumors/heresay.

Not saying you do. Just commenting that the OP is heresay at this point.

[Warren DeMontague]

122. Since you seem so interested in defending Sarah Palin on this, do you deny that she advocated

teaching 'creationism alongside evolution' in public schools?

Do you grasp why that's a problem?

Hearsay? She's enough of a fundy to think that abortion should be illegal -illegal- even in cases of rape and incest. She's apparently expressed interest in banning books. She's stated she doesn't think global warming is "due to human activity". There's evidence, again, that she wants "creationism" taught in science classes.

And, to boot, the base of the GOP, flat-fucking Earth doofuses that they are, LOVES this woman.

That alone--- right there, to me, is PLENTY of proof that it's entirely conceivable that Sarah Palin believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old, Jesus rode a dinosaur, all kinds of wacky fucking shit. Because that's what the people who are fucking gaaaaa-gaaaa over her believe. Sorry, mac, the ONUS IS ON HER, NOW. We already know she's a far right theocrat who wants to outlaw abortion, the pill, and IUDs.

If she accepts the mountain of scientific evidence showing life to have evolved over the course of the 4.7 Billion year history of the Planet, if she DOESN'T believe that the Earth is only 6,000 years old or that T Rex was on "Noah's Ark", let her come the fuck out and say so.

[graywarrior]

15. Her running partner is a dinosaur

So she may be on to something.

[King Coal]

16. Sarah, how long does it take to make a fossil? And you guys want her for VP?

[Beartracks]

18. He gave us brains and He wants us to use them!

[Bobbieo]

20. AHA! She's been to Jurassic Park.

[C_U_L8R]

19. At the intersection of The Flintstones and The Jetsons

is the void they call Sarah Palin's brain.

[gauguin57]

116. "Goliath, what are we going to do about Sarah Palin? She's giving Christians a bad name!"

"Uh, gee, Day-vee, I dunno. She's batshit wacko ... hard to know where to start."

[1corona4u]

21. I suppose she's also seen

Jesus in a flour tortilla, or in a piece of toast, or a grilled cheese sandwich, or a pancake, or, or, or...:eyes:

[Sentath]

70. I'm sorry, but

That grilled cheese looks more like Greta Garbo to me

I could be wrong about specifically whom, but it is some silver screen icon...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001256/ for comparisons

[Sentath]

71. Aww crud, my first duplicate

It said the page was unavailable.

[scarface2004]

24. didn t fred flintstone use a dinosuar..

for his excavation job? just sayin!

[liberal1973]

29. Funny

Speaking of the Flintstones while reading the op's post I sort of humming the theme song.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

54. It always comes back to the Flintstones with these retards

that call themselves creationists. However much you believe in cartoons and magic doesn't make them true. Unfortunately about 40% of this country believes in cartoons and magic. They think "The Flintstones" is a cartoon documentary.

Can we please have our own country? Please? If we deny these morans the benefits of modern scientific medicine, they should die off in a generation or two and we can repopulate most of the South and a lot of the rest of the country with real humans then. The smart ones will have survived in hiding and will doubtless join in joyfully.

[snake in the grass]

64. I totally agree...

and have raised the ire of many fellow Southerners by saying they would and should suffocate under the weight of their own ignorance and die out so that we could repopulate. The only problem with that is the number of military bases in Dixie. A lot of aggression is pent up in the Bible Belt and believe me, they would not have a problem with using violence to perpetuate their ignorance. That's why I left.

[Left Is Write]

77. My eyes are old and tired. I REALLY thought that said "recopulate" for a minute...

Which would still, I suppose, accomplish the goal of repopulation. ;)

[LynneSin]

73. And being that she uses the Risk board as her reason Alaska is so important....

when it comes to national security, I'm guessing that she'll use the Flinstones to justify her theories on creationism

[berni_mccoy]

25. She's a Nut.

[Tribetime]

26. with all due respect I think she meant Bigfoot

[nam78_two]

27. ...

:banghead:

[samuraiguppy]

28. can we make this into a commercial

PLEASE. Most people would be appalled by this.

[HughMoran]

30. what a moran

idjut

[Jennicut]

31. Crazy, crazy, crazy...repeat after me crazy, crazy, crazy

The women is a nut.

[Tutonic]

32. Yeah next to Russia.

[codjh9]

33. What a fucking idiot. I once left a note under the windshield wiper of a vehicle

parked in Colo. Springs that had one of those asinine 'Truth' fish 'eating' the Darwin fish with legs. The note said something like 'So how exactly do you explain FOSSILS, moron?'

[crim son]

34. Seen them "somewhere"?

Maybe while she was perusing the new science textbook for Alaska's high schools? :eyes:

[usregimechange]

35. Holy crap!!!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

36. . . . from my house."

[Rosa Luxemburg]

39. Was she on earth at the time of the dinosaurs (it wouldn't surprise me)

[Girlieman]

66. No, but McCain was, and he told her about it... (eom)

[Marie2]

40. Here is the link

to the Paluxy River Bed, which she was probably talking about (if she said it)

http://www.thelivingmoon.com/43ancients/02files/The_Paluxy_Print.html

[Johonny]

41. So she can see Dinosaurs from Alaska too?

[GimmeDANEger]

42. Bill Hicks: "Dinosaur fossils? God put those there to test our faith"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qmglGWMsdk

[ericgtr]

43. I saw that too in Jurassic Park

Just sayin.. that's how the McCain campaign will spin it.

[Czolgosz]

45. Why does the Guardian report on our candidates better than 99% of US papers?

[IndianaGreen]

47. Because the MSM doesn't want to advertise that Palin is outside the mainstream of America

that her religious views are radical and dangerous.

[kath]

55. Actually, the article came from Salon.

ANd it's a VERY good article:
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/09/15/bess/index.html

But you'll never see such a thing in one of our mainstream (AKA CorporatePropagandaMinistry) newspapers or magazines.

The British press does do a MUCH better job.

[Arugula Latte]

50. Someone just shoot me now, please.

I can't keep living in this country of fucking morons. :banghead:

[Cali_Democrat]

51. Now that's scary

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

52. Wraparound jacket and lots of Thorazine

for the next 30 years. That is all.

[jazzjunkysue]

53. I saw an english muffin, once, that looked like a unicorn.

They must be real.

[Skittles]

59. jjs, your analogies are priceless

:rofl:

[jazzjunkysue]

105. Why, thank you. Best to make fun of them.

[grannylib]

111. OMG I am so jealous! I'm SERIES!!11!1! I love unicorns!

Do you have a picture of it by any chance??????

[Norrin Radd]

57. I saw humans walking around dinosaurs, once,

at a miniature golf course in Panama City Beach, Florida.

[Skittles]

58. as Lewis Black said

(she would think) The Flintstones is a documentary

[oasis]

65. The Fred Flintstone Hoax

By Dawn Huxley
Posted on: 4/20/2002
What once looked like Fred taking Dino out for "walkies" turns out to be a nothing.

Henry Morris’ son, John Morris, once wrote a book about the infamous human and dinosaur footprints running parallel to one another in the Paluxy riverbed in Glen Rose, Texas. That book was called Tracking Those Incredible Dinosaurs and the People Who Knew Them! (Creation Life Publishers, 1980).

Upon closer investigation, scientists discovered that the smaller footprints running beside the larger dinosaur tracks were also made by dinosaurs, albeit smaller ones. They were three-toed reptile tracks, eroded just enough to coarsely resemble “human” footprints. Besides, those smaller footprints were three feet long, revealing an animal who stood over twenty feet tall, but the ICR retorted that they were Nephilim footprints (the “giants” in the days of Noah, Genesis chapter six).

In addition, many well-defined, fossilized human footprints were sold around that site, but scientists quickly saw that those were fakes. During the 1930s, when the dinosaur tracks were first discovered, a bunch of Glen Rose residents sculpted fake footprints and sold them to tourists.

Six years after publication, John Morris acknowledged this dilemma in the ICR’s January 1986 Impact newsletter called “The Paluxy Mystery.” This is significant because the Institute for Creation Research almost never admits to errors.

Yet on February 25, 1996, Charlton Heston hosted a pseudo-documentary called Mysterious Origins of Man that resurrected the Fred Flintstone hoax all over again!

[jazzjunkysue]

106. So, Bam Bam wasn't really a drummer? He was a swimsuit designer?

I'm crushed. :eyes:

[Borgnine]

67. Whoops. My bad.

I hopped in the old DeLorean over the weekend and went back to the Cretaceous period. Had no idea it would retroactively set off the fundies. I'll be careful where I step next time.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

68. As Hillary/Poehler said on SNL about Palin/Fey - ask her about dinosaurs. So far,

the MSM is keeping far away from this.

[Frumious B]

69. Who knew that The Flintstones was actually an historic documentary series?

Yabba dabba yikes!

[LynneSin]

72. Well when Jesus returns to earth these idiots won't recognize him at all

I mean they expect all this grandiose high-living mentality and totally forget that Jesus was a liberal hippy jew with no means of income, no wife and no personal possessions. Jesus would be the street bum on the corner that the religious right would scorn.

[WinkyDink]

83. He already is.

[demwing]

74. She's probably talking about Paluxy River

http://www.badarchaeology.net/data/ooparts/paluxy.php

[crankychatter]

75. personally, I dig anachronisms

keeps them thinking

[SoxFan]

76. She's talking about the "Paluxy Tracks"

http://paleo.cc/paluxy/mantrack.htm

Long since debunked by paleontologists.

[Beartracks]

109. But.. but scientists...

... have a vested interest in debunking those things! It's how they keep their power over society! It's how they manipulate things so that they make the big bucks and wield all the influence!


Uh...: :sarcasm:

[Marrah_G]

79. The MSM needs to pick this up

People might not understand the economy.........but they do understand CRAZY.

She might as well say she truly believes with all her heart that the moon is made of green cheese.

[Veruca Salt]

80. She is so stupid it defies belief...

I can't believe she could possibly be one step away from the presidency... :puke:

[Danascot]

81. Hey Mooselini,

Screw you and the dinosaur you rode in on.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

84. John McCain showed her where she could find his footprints

from when John McCain and his hunter-gatherer tribesmen frolicked with the dinosaurs 6,000 years ago.

[Overseas]

85. K&R -- more evidence on the table to disqualify Palin. //eom

[IndianaJones]

86. if there are only one set of footprints, Jesus was carrying the dinosaurs. nt.

[lumberjack_jeff]

88. I've seen images of bikini clad snipers with your head on them Scarah. Your point?

[FatDave]

99. Dang, you beat me to it. (nt)

[amber_86]

89. I'm sorry

I believe in God and Jesus. And yes I do believe in creationism, but I don't think it should to taught in school. That's why they have Churches. And those that believe we came from monkey, please. I don't think they should teach that in school. And if people say they are strong believers in God and Jesus then, they should teach there children about God, Jesus, what is good and bad, and sex. My grandma taught me about God and Jesus when I was little. Then my teenage years I stop believing till I got pregnant. But now I really believe in God and Jesus. And yes I still do hang out with people that do drugs and drink. You know why I still do because Jesus hang out with the poor and the sinners, he didn't turn his back on them.

[MilesColtrane]

93. The theory isn't that man came from a monkey,...

...it's that both man AND monkeys came from a common ancestor.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

101. LOL

:thumbsup:

[RandomKoolzip]

113. Wow.

Just fuckin' wow.

[beac]

90. As someone pointed out in another thread on this, she undoubtedly grew up watching:

She probably thinks Sleestaks are our greatest national security threat.

[Ebola]

91. Sarah Palin IS....

a dinosaur.

A dinosaur with an annoying squeaky/nasal Ruth Buzzy, sort of croak and the intelligence of a really really dumb one.

[SeaLyons]

92. Complete Wacko!!!!! n/t

[and-justice-for-all]

94. Dumb...

Would Richard Dawkins please slap the shit out of Palin, thank you.

[timeoutofjoint]

95. You quote is Heresay. Democrats can do better. Find the real

quote. Heresay and rumors do us NO good.

[file83]

97. We are SCREWN if somehow she becomes President.

I mean, totally SCREWN!
:scared:

[dgibby]

102. I believe her

I think McMethuselah's old enough to have left them there.:rofl:

[npincus]

103. my g-d, what has our country come to, a person of this stunning ignorance

possibly a heartbeat away from the presidency.

[iiibbb]

108. I've seen pasta

mountains, trees, and midgets.

[ihavenobias]

110. K & R. Let's hope the *American* media picks this story up n/t

[Not Sure]

112. I've seen the footprints in Glen Rose, Texas

http://www.creationism.org/cem/trailjpg.htm

I took a trip on a whim with a buddy back in the early 90s. It made a believer out of me.

A believer that these people are fucking morons and that there is no hope for the State of Texas or the United States. These dumbshits somehow continue to accumulate money and they throw it at preachers who tell them why they cannot vote for the people who actually care about their interests, their rights and their children.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

114. She must also believe that Noah's Ark is not just a fable but an historical account

Polar bears and wolves cruising over the waves with caribou and millions of species of insects.

By the way, according to the Evangelicals, did Noah's Ark occur after the time of dinosaurs, or did tyrannosaurus rex accompany Noah and his family on the cruise ship.

[Arrowhead2k1]

115. lol wtf? I guess we can call this kind of science PALINtology.

:rofl:

[Hugabear]

117. Show me a set of dinosaur footprints, and I'll put some human footprints in them.

Because even *if* there were a photo showing human footprints inside or alongside dinosaur footprints, it's obvious the only explanation is that they were made at the same time. Sheesh. :sarcasm:

[Hippo_Tron]

119. No Palin/Dinosaur thread is complete without a Flinstones pictures

[crazy_vanilla]

120. must've been all that tanning that scrambled her brain

[Motown_Johnny]

121. Don't cartoons count?
