One of the leaders of the expedition, Peter DeRosa of Creation Expeditions makes this comment refarding the fossils age--"The evidence strongly points to a relatively recent and catastrophic event similar to that described in the Bible as the flood of Noah's day," he said.

Sad thing that children are being brainwashed and misinformed with cretinist drivel.

Be interesting to see what real scientists say about it.

There's a new cretinist rag for sale.

Tornado in A Junkyard: The Relentless Myth of Darwinism (book)

"In this engaging page-turner, James Perloff devastates the theory of evolution. Issues tackled include the lack of transitional forms in the fossil record, the lack of evidence for 'ape-men,' and the amazing history of fraud that has characterized the efforts to get Darwin's theory, which he himself questioned, accepted and taught as fact."

Personally I found <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27690" target="_blank">the stripper mom story</a> much more interesting.

Under the leadership of Doug Phillips, president of Vision Forum and an adjunct professor of apologetics with the Institute for Creation Research, and Peter DeRosa, a veteran archaeologist and paleontologist with Creation Expeditions, the team of 30 home schoolers spent a week earlier this month hunting for and excavating fossils in a privately owned location in the Skullcreek Basin of northwest Colorado.

Isn't this proof of ICR's rather meek position in the science world? To have their name mentioned in this paper?

Quote:

"I placed a $250 bounty on anyone who found the skull," Phillips said. "It was just a small incentive for my team, of course. The actual skull could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."

That just sounds like a lie.

Quote:

With just minutes to go before calling quits on the expedition, Dr. Bruce Bellamy, a home-school father from Clinton, Mo., broke dirt on what would prove to be the neck vertebrae leading up to the skull.

Now its just silly propaganda.

Coup de tat? They seem to think that since they
found it, creation science is validated?

Can any of the experts here refute the "if it
was ancient, things would have looked much
different" quote?

You mean because they supposedly found petrified and unpetrified wood in the bone bed? It wouldn't be the first time that creation-scientists have lied about the "evidence".

Go "naked-dancing mom"!!!

What I see as the worst feature of this story is that creationists will be destroying unique fossils. It is enraging.

Isn't it extremely rare to find complete skeletons that were buried in high energy events like floods? The bones are usually scattered all over the place.

That would be the result of the flood.
