I have a friend who witnessed a dinosaur fossil find (in a road widening cut) over a decade ago where an Indian arrowhead had directly damaged the bone. At that time he wondered why they were excavating so quickly. They claimed that it had to be a fraud. The local university, being evolutionists, hushed it up. This goes on all the time.

I have a friend who witnessed a conspiracy theory (on the Internet) over one minute ago where an asinine claim was made. They insisted it had to be true. The poster, being a Young Earther, was a moron. This happens all the time.
It couldn't possibly be the road contractors that wanted them to excavate quickly, could it? Naw, it had to be those evilutionists at the university.
I'm sure your "friend" was an expert at identifying dinosaur fossils with one quick look, too.
There is no way to determine what could have made a mark on a fossilized animal. Could be from a fight with another animal, could be tooth marks from scavengers, etc. etc.
You see what you want to see. Von Daniken thought he saw space ships in Mayan paintings. Maybe those aliens cut the dinosaur with a laser ray gun?!!!
Why would "evolutionists" try to hush it up? Nothing says dinosaurs have to be extinct or else the ToE wrong. In fact, scientists thought the coelacanth went extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs; then they found one alive and swimming in 1938. American Indians killing dinosaurs wouldn't affect the ToE in the slightest.
That's weird, because in my experience, friends who tell you stories always have shitty memories and are either misconnecting events [finding an arrowhead and driving by a dinosaur dig] or making shit up to mess with you.
Damn, if that was true, I would jump at the opportunity to photograph it and note the authorities. That would definitely be a hell of a find.
Of course, you don't have photo evidence and expert findings to determine if such a possibility is indeed true. Thus, you are a lying lier McLiar pants.
What you fail to realize is that even if we found living specimens of dinosaurs living in a remote area today it would not invalidate the theory of evolution.
a) Lately there has been a movement in the realm of archaeology to go back and rethink "arrow-head" marks and other signs of human involvement. These same marks can appear through non-human activities such as teeth marks, damage during decay, etc. Produce that arrow head and prove that it lay in the same strata as the "dinosaur" or STFU.
b) Are you sure it was a dinosaur? Not all large bones are, you know. And if you are from the states, which I suspect you are, please be aware that in prehistory in N. America there was such a thing as "megafauna".
c) You wanna know why the excavation went so fast? The developers are required to hire arachaeologists during the surveys of a site and required to call them if they find anything, but they aren't required to give them adequete time to excavate. If the archaeologist (or paleotologist, in this case) had tried to take his good sweet time to thouroughly excavate he would have gotten hell from the developers and community. That's just how it goes, it sucks.
...and ...and ...and ya know wut? As it turned out it was a CORVETTE! And there --- was a HOOK hanging on the door handle, and the girl? Like, she had these, ya know, like black widow spiders LIVING RIGHT THERE IN HER HAIR!!!!!11!! OMFG!!!
They claimed that it had to be a fraud
If you're going to make up stories (or believe what your friend's cousin's mechanic's best man's hairdresser was told by a guy in the pub), at least make up consistent and believable stories.
I had a friend who witnessed my murder of all gods. At the time, he wondered why I was killing gods, but now he understands it was so I could prevent them from creating more idiots.
Your god's head is hanging on my wall you know.
Sorry, just to correct myself from earlier- it was Ken Ham who was behind the creation museum, not Kent Hovind.
Small error, I know. But if there's one thing this website has taught me, it's the importance of checking your information before you go spouting off on some forum.
Your scheduled FSTDT experience will resume...now.
I have a friend who told me certain things about some people who had seen some stuff. I have another friend who told me about these other people who had seen some other stuff. The stuff that the first lot had seen was at odds with the stuff that the second lot had seen. No matter.
I have a vague acquaintance who told me about someone she had met who had once spoken to this guy who had seen stuff that he did not believe that he could have seen, apart from the evidence of his own eyes, which were not all that reliable, admittedly. This not only refuted, but totally contradicted (in a Des Cartesian fashion) everything which had been previously postulated.
Shame I can't remember a fucking thing about it.
Must be the booze....
P.A.-"The local university, being evolutionists, hushed it up. This goes on all the time."
Let me guess. They wore black suits and had a little metal tube that flashed alight and then everybody forgot everything. Did one of the "evolutionists" look like Tommy Lee Jones?
P.A.-"I have a friend "
friends don't let friends LIE for Jeebus.
IFBaptist Girl:
Yea, I know what you mean. Obviously, it's evolutionists that put those two extra legs on insects, and breed non-cud-chewing rabbits, and tell us we can't breed striped goats by having regular goats mate while looking at painted sticks!
Stupid troll, GTFO and stop being so repetitive.
And that speed would never be because they were hired by the construction company to dig it up in a certain amount of time? Using a certain amount of money? You know, seeing as if the American legal system is like the British one, because they couldn't actually care about the excavation and only have it because the law states they must?
To even suggest that the arrowhead had been the one to damage the bone, either experimental archaeology (requiring time spent investigating) on its own or in combination with the arrowhead found in the same context as the bone would be required. And even if it were in the same context, the processes of taphonomy - the way things get moved around after deposition - have created far stranger situations.
Idiot.
Well the answer is obvious. Creationists should stop building museums and use their money to finance their own expeditions. If this kind of thing "goes on all the time" then the creationist funded digs will quickly have ample evidence to mount a credible campaign that humans and dinosaurs coexisted at one point.
Then they wouldn't have to rely on "I heard it from a friend" stories.
I'd better not tell him about my friend, then. The one who has a friend of a cousin's next door neighbour who found the frozen remains of a neanderthal man cradling an AK-47 in his arms and a map of Manhattan in his pants pocket.
Yes, really. I would't just make it up. Honest.
Indian arrowhead=rock shard
Now you wouldn't find any of them underground, would ya? And it's not like theres any pressure exerted underground that push and grind things together, right?
By your fundie science principles any bones peeled up by the plow I came across in my childhood farming days must mean I'm hiding real important historical evidence for Gawd or some such shit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
