this is an interesting story from our own backyard here in north texas.. as i am one to believe the Bible as truth and not question God's design for this world, i don't go seeking to get involved in battles concerning creationism or evolution. i think that natural selection takes place to certain degrees as animals adapt to their surroundings. i do not think we are descendants of apes. i like to keep it that simple. i understand that an all powerful God can create the world and it's inhabitants how he so pleases and i'm just fine with it all.
this story, however, is very interesting.. simply because the implications are so significant if it is proven out. what you see above is a picture of a human footprint overstepped by a dinosaur footprint. thus far, the tests run on this fossil have shown it to be original and of the same material other fossils from the area have been made of. so....
take it for what it's worth -- take a read:
A technical writer for Texas Instruments in Dallas, Lines said he’s no expert on rocks, but he said he has no doubt the Delk rock is real and the prints are legitimate.
“I have really worked hard to figure out how it could be faked,” said Lines.
Lines said his photographs also show the rock contains a number of fossils commonly found in North Texas such as small seashells and shellfish, a fact he said lends credence to the stone’s authenticity.
