to the "FOSSIL FORUM for Creationists", Dec 18-19, at the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum in scenic, bustling Crosbyton, Texas?" The say, "This first historic meeting will be to hear papers on the MAMMOTH PROBLEM." (Whether that's a very large problem or a problem with Mammuthus sp. the brochure really didn't say.

From the <a href="http://www.mtblanco.com/html/new_display.html" target="_blank">museum's website</a>:

Quote:

Mt Blanco Fossil Museum has produced another portable and highly mobile display that shows the facts concerning fossil tracks -both human and dinosaur tracks together. Also it shows tiny, delicate trilobite and cricket tracks that need to be rapidly buried in order to be preserved. If you are interested in this exhibit or a one that we can custom build for you call 806-675-7777.

Local floods and landslides can easily do the burying. Creationists are often so incredibly lame.

Isn't that a bit like "Bible Verses for Atheists?"

Heh texas is a bit far, but I would go to the Denver Nature and Science museum with some infidels on the day that psycho creationist takes kids there and gives them religious mantras ("Jeeeesus made that, Jeeesus made that").

If you go, you'll have to tell us about it.

Isn't it strange? For Scigirl, Texas is a bit far. I live in Texas and the trip to Crosbyton is farther for me than for her. It is a bit far.

I wish I had known about this place while my younger son was a student at Texas Tech in Lubbock. I have been to Lubbock several times and sometimes spent hours with nothing to do while waiting for some evening function. My wife and I visited Palo Duro Canyon because someone told her about it. The drive to Crosbyton isn't much farther.

Isn't it funny that this place is completely convinced by that terrible representation of a human foot, the Burdick Print? My God! Creationists are willing to believe anything that supports what they want to be true.

I wish I could go.

Guess I'll have to add it to by 'Someday" places.

Edited to respectfully ask: Trilobite and cricket tracks? Together?

And, what mammoth problem? Didn't know there was one!

The damn conference is during the week, and I'm out of vacation by then.

But I will certainly go tour the museum and report back in the next month or two.

Perhaps they were an earlier intelligent species of cricket that liked scuba diving.

One thing I would like to know from creationists is why Trilobites became extinct? Of all the species on earth they would be my pick to have survived the flood.

Ya know, the Flood nonsense aside, I've wondered about that. It would seem that trilobites were wonderfully equiped to deal with just about anything short of a steamer pot and hot sauce.

I wonder what finally wiped them out.

(hehehe) Maybe God had a Heavenly Steamer Pot and Holy Hot Sauce.

Wish the selfish bastard had left a few for us.
