Please note that this debate is being waged by scientists on the pages of scholarly journals.

Creationists have absolutely nothing of value to contribute to the discussion. When was the last time a creationist made a discovery? Contributed to the sum total of human knowledge?

[Rapscallion]

Thanks for thinking for me. Next time, please post a photo so I can judge for myself.

Was the footprint pointing north?

[BikerGold]

Back when they found the human footprints within the dinosaur footprints at Glen Rose, Texas, those chisling out phony footprints inside other dinosaur tracks for a quick buck said there were just too many details in the actual footprints for them to copy, so one could tell which were the real McCoy.

Correction: The Dec 2005 article was in Nature, not Science. I've spent the last 15 minutes trying to find this thing!

Mexico offers up ancient footprints
Maev Kennedy
July 05, 2005

A group of British scientists claimed yesterday to have identified human footprints in central Mexico that are 40,000 years old, almost three times older than the most generally accepted evidence for human settlement in the Americas. The team from universities in Liverpool, Bournemouth, and Oxford are convinced that the footprints are human and represent several adults and children who walked in freshly fallen volcanic ash in the Valsequillo Basin, about 80 miles south-east of Mexico City. Working with international colleagues, they have applied dating techniques on the sediment itself and on finds including a land snail, a water snail and a mammoth tooth, all of which came back with an age of around 40,000 years.

Footsteps in time that add 30,000 years to history of America

The prints, found by the scientists at the edge of a lake in Mexico, are thought to be about 40,000 years old... Casts of the footprints reveal that a community of Homo sapiens lived in the Valsequillo Basin, near Puebla in central Mexico. Their feet ranged in size from those of small children, aged about 5 or 6, to adults who would have fitted size eight shoes. The prints were found at the bottom of an abandoned quarry and were preserved in volcanic rock... The Liverpool and Bournemouth team discovered the footprints in September 2003 but have only recently had confirmation of their age from scientists at Oxford University. Dating techniques included radiocarbon dating and optical stimulated luminescence.

40,000-year-old footprint of first Americans

The team, led by Dr Silvia Gonzalez from Liverpool John Moores University, has completed dating the footprints, which Dr Gonzalez found in an abandoned quarry with her Liverpool colleague Prof David Huddart and Prof Matthew Bennett, of Bournemouth University, in September 2003. The findings supported the theory that the first colonists might have been seafarers who took an "island hopping" route from Australia and Polynesia, when sea levels were lower, to the west coast, said Prof Bennett.

Just leaving the footprints that Americans refuse to leave.

Since this seems to be the only science article today, I will post this little item here. It may relate to what the Romans called the Great Year,which is about 24,000 years and is when the zodiac completes a revolution.

Evidence Mounts For Companion Star To Our Sun

Newport Beach CA (SPX) Apr 25, 2006
The Binary Research Institute (BRI) has found that orbital characteristics of the recently discovered planetoid, "Sedna", demonstrate the possibility that our sun might be part of a binary star system.

There is something odd about our solar system that a second sun would explain easily, and that is the motion of the sun itself through the zodiac in not only the annual period, but the Great Year period.

That is all, nothing follows.

[Ptarmigan]

Interesting. Humans must of been in America for at least 50,000 years. It would not surprise me if they came from the South Pacific.
