The limestone contains two distinct prints — one of a human footprint and one belonging to a dinosaur. The significance of the cement-hard fossil is it shows the dinosaur print partially over and intersecting the human print. In other words, the stone’s impressions indicate the human stepped first, the dinosaur second.

"Baugh said he knows there are and will be skeptics, especially since the find is very recent and so far has been tested only in a medical laboratory by a medical doctor. Still, he said he is so confident in the authenticity of the specimen he is ready to put his reputation entirely on the line. He said he is willing put the rock to any non-destructive tests."
Is it not possible to be a creationist, IOW believing that God created the heavens and the earth, AND ALSO believe that the earth is many billions of years old?
What do the constraints of time mean to the One who created time itself?
IMHO, the scriptures themselves show that God created the heavens and the earth in a mature state, which naturally is going to measure billions of years old.
Haven't read anything specific about this new one, but here is an analysis of the previous claims:
From that article:
ConclusionsClaims of human tracks occurring alongside dinosaur tracks in Texas have not stood up to close scientific scrutiny, and in recent years have been largely abandoned even by most creationists. Although genuine dinosaur tracks are abundant in Texas, the alleged Paluxy "man tracks" involve a variety of misidentified phenomena. The most celebrated "man tracks" on the Taylor Site are forms of "metatarsal" dinosaur tracks--made by dinosaurs which, at least at times, made elongate prints by impressing their metatarsi (soles and heels) as they walked, rather than walking on their toes only. When the digit marks on such elongate/metatarsal tracks are subdued by sediment infilling, mud- collapse, erosion, or a combination of factors, the metatarsal segment at the rear often presents an oblong shape that roughly resembles a large human footprint. Other alleged "man tracks" include erosional features and indistinct markings of uncertain origin, some of which were enhanced with water or oil at times to appear more human, or even physically altered in some cases. A smaller number of "man tracks" are outright carvings (mostly on loose blocks of rock). Claims of other "out of order" fossils from Texas and elsewhere are also lacking in scientific support.
This would push back the existence of humanoids in the Americas back millions of years. (or the existence of dinosaurs in the Americas up several million years) I visited Dinosaur Valley state park about 2 months ago. Several million years ago, it was ocean front.
I’m sure they’ll discover the human footprint was left by a member of the Piltdown Man clan.
That is a nice philosophical position, but the Bible is either true or not. It says six days, not six indeterminate periods of time. The fossil record does not support the order or chronology of Genesis.
are you so narrow minded that you think that if there is evolution there could be no creation?
then how did the sun and moon evolve and from what?
if you are familar with Occam’s razor isn’t the most logical explanation that somehow the universe was CREATED by a big bang or chance or a sumpreme being whatever and then life has evoled since?
Happens every day. Now, if you'd seen the Yeti in a Speedo then that would have been out of the ordinary.
Yes, it is another episode of Lying for God.

The general flow seems to match evolution theory, where does it differ?
Bartender, I’ll have what she’s having...
Good call on the image. If I may second, third, and fourth the sentiment. Calling the loony tunes school board in Kansas....
The FSM will not be pleased. He actually created the prints with his noodly appendages.
Me or the Yeti ;-P and I am 100% male.... and I was about to crack open a home brew.
There are numerous images of easily recognized dinosaur types in American Indian petroglyphs and Indian oral traditions speak of Indian ancestors dealing with dinosaurs on a regular basis. Lewis and Clarke noted that their Indian guides were in mortal terror of Mishipishu (stegosaur) glyphs around the Mississippi river.
Wasn't he an original member of the Stones?
Sorry, I fail to see the point. Are you saying this is a false claim because previous claims have been argued away? Frankly I don’t understand this paragraph as I am not a “jargonator” as most pseudo-scientists like paleontologists are.
I just don’t buy the evolution stuff. They seem to rely on such logical contortions combined with illogical contortions to arrive at conclusions that cannot possbly be verified. Too much for my simple brain to accept, I suppose.
