Douglass, Earl (1862-1931). United States dinosaur hunter who, in Utah in 1909, found the fossil-rich beds now forming Dinosaur National Monument. Over his entire career, sent 350 tons of excavated dinosaur bones to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh."

Finds of huge quantities of fossils in one area, or by one or few people, goes against the laws of natural probability and suggests a possible concentrated planting effort.

And don't miss this brilliant insight:

The name of Devils Canyon Science and Learning Center may possibly provide good insight to the real source of the dinosaur concept

Why am I not surprised that the same nutter has an extensive website devoted to "Apollo Moon Missions Anomalies & Inconsistencies"?

I suppose we can take some comfort that he does not appear to believe that pro wrestling is real...

I'd be fascinated to hear this idiot explain the planting of fossil ammonites at Lyme Regis. There's miles of cliff there, at least forty feet high, and Darwin knows how deep it goes back from the beach. And you can find an ammonite in practically every rock you smack open.

TTFN, Oolon

Someone would have to be really dedicated to the evil-ution conspiracy to lug all those dinosaur bones out to remotest Mongolia.

Remember all the Chinese who worked on the old west railroads?

Thanks for the link. This guy leaves stupid and leaps into the realm of psychosis.

I thought his analysis of the probability of the conditions necessary for a dinosaur to be fossilized was particulary good.

"After a so-called dinosaur dies, I would conservatively estimate the chances of its bones becoming buried or underwater within 1 to 2 years of defleshing at much less than one in a thousand."

So I guess if we all agreed that there were less than a hundred so-called dinosaurs, we couldn't reasonably expect any dinosaur fossils. What's that? There were billions of so-called dinosaurs? Never mind.

I can't believe this guy is for real.

This even puts Hovind to shame in terms of stupidity. Care to put this on <a href="http://www.portalofevil.com" target="_blank">Portal of Evil</a> anyone?

And he's quoting a creationist botanist to discredit radiometric dating! What a surprise. Well, she'd know all about nuclear physics and mineralogy, wouldn't she? Well-known branches of botany, them.
