Re: Paluxy River trackway & fundamentalists

Not that I don't love talking about creationism :-j but I hope we can
all agree that it tends not to have much relevance to studies about
dinosaurs...  However, since I'm sure there's enough overlap that
others may want to dig deeper, let me recommend the talk.origins
archives.  If you have netscape or mosaic, you can use the URL:

http://rumba.ics.uci.edu:8080/faqs-paluxy

to go straight to the relevant document.  You can also access the
document via e-mail, but I don't want to dig out the instructions for
that unless someone asks.  In any case, a couple of references from
that document (for Ralph, since he gives us so many :-):

[1] Neufeld, Berney, 1975, "Dinosaur Tracks and Giant Men,"

and for some "balanced" treatment:

Baugh's claims are also repeated in newsletters and tapes
distributed by his Creation Evidences Museum.

Have fun!
