Ditto.

I think the intense concentration on Paluxy by the creationists, and in
particular their continued assertion that the 'man tracks' may be
significant, further illustrates the 'poverty' of the creationist position.
It is reasonably obvious that the Paluxy data has been 'monkeyed' with
by so many 'yahoos' (evolutionist and creationist) that it hardly constitutes
serious evidence one way or another.   More importantly, such evidence needs
to be corroborated from various sources to be considered particulary useful
(that is, various types of evidence that point to the conclusion that
man and dinosaur were contemporary at Paluxy, and considering any evidence
to the contrary.)  A single site of non-corroborated data, where most of
the surface of the earth represents evidence to the contrary, is hardly
worth that much attention.
