Crazy Sarah Palin says man and dinosaurs co-existed!

Read Time:1 Minute, 18 Second

Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago — about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct — the teacher said.

After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs.

Palin told him that “dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time,” Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said “she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks,” recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.

The idea of a “young Earth” — that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago, and dinosaurs and humans coexisted early on — is a popular strain of creationism.

Though in her race for governor she called for faith-based “intelligent design” to be taught along with evolution in Alaska’s schools, Gov. Palin has not sought to require it, state educators say.
In a widely-circulated interview, Matt Damon said of Palin, “I need to know if she really think that dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago. I want to know that, I really do. Because she’s gonna have the nuclear codes.”

‘Humans, dinos lived together’ (Times of India)(October 18,2011)
Beijing: ‘The world’s only evidence of co-existence by humans and dinosaur tracks have been discovered by Chinese and American scientists in a remote county in southwest China, the state media reported on Sunday’.

This evidence supports my views which I am saying for the last two years.

I know one story (imagination) of H.G.Wells. About 35 years ago when I was doing my first degree course in science, one of my senior colleague told me a story from Time Machine that a day will come when the size of humans would of size of a rat. Now see what has actually happened afterwards. About 2 or 3 years back I saw in a news paper that a giant sized rodent fossil had been found. This was almost to modern elephant size. This confirmed my belief that dinosaurs had not been wiped out. They are still found in smaller and smaller size, yes of course with some different characteristics. I think Gravitation Force is one of the major cause of genetic mutation. Gravitation Force is gradually increasing towards centre and compressing all members of animal kingdom bringing about genetic change with respect to size. A new evolved species or same species with some new characteristics created. I further believe that humans and dinosaurs co-existed. I know one evidence in support of this.

Hey 4D. I lost my Bayeux Tapestry book. What kind of dinosaur was William the Conquerer riding when he invaded England?

My boy wants to go to Liberty University and that question was on the entrance exam.

Hi Jimmy John. Hope you’re not one of these bad non believer types that are destroying America.

Jimmy John, I assure you that you are welcome.

And what a great exchange to jump in with. I haven’t had this much fun since that Bigfoot expedition back in ’98. 🙂

Perhaps she thinks Jurrasic Park was a documentary?

What is that woman on….and can I have some?

I think Joe is right,Jess.

But you are right too in pointing out the Flintstones as proof that Palin is right.She could see it from her window, her neighbor’s living room TV set tuned to the Flintstones as Fred worked a dinosaur at his construction job site.

I’m willing to defer to the elders of the tribe on this one ;). I have loved the Flinstone’s for forever, I wanted to be Wilma. I even liked the movies, even though they were totally panned by critics.

Jess,
I remember when it first came out,I was a kid.7 or 8, and it was an evening show.Kind of an adult cartoon at the time,like a Simpsons sort of.

Slightly different subject, but I always thought Jane Jetson was cute.

No amount of dogging, or as they said in Old Testament days, “velocoraptoring” will keep me from speaking the truth at MadMike’s America.

You know, I think you will find that velocoraptoring is sinful, it’s in the “you shalt nots”, I’m certain of it, it’s a fancy name for something sinful. Now that I am thinking more, I think it’s in one of the Old Testament books, it is it is, no need to check me on it, you can really trust me. I’m getting an online ordination for $19.95 and some Ginzu knives thrown in, so I know my stuff. So if you are doing that velocoraptoring stuff, you can join up and help Christine O’Donnell out with her campaign, either that or you may be going to hell, I’m just not sure right at this time. I’m just saying is all, to help you save yourself. 😉

No no no Jess!

When Jesus ascended up to Heaven it was on the back of a white pterodactal.

The rest of the known world never flew because the Greeks did and they all though Greeks were sissies.

Ok since you said no more than once, you must be right. I’m going to go to the old encylopedia to verify this. If you are wrong though, there will be no amount of dogging I won’t do, I’m just letting you know up front. 🙂

I am going to refudiate this Joe Hagstrom person right here as a non believer. He wants to be all Truthy and stuff with the creationism and he got his facts all wrong. So for starters, it wasn’t a brontosaurus, like he said, it was a flying thing so they could get around quicker and they could tie their luggage around the belly. Oh yeah, you have never watched the Flinstones have you, they show you all the modern conveniences of this time.

Oh and the end of times, not coming till 2012 and I am going to go live in Kentucky then, because I’ve heard it told they are about 20 years behind everyone. The Anti Christ is living in my house and surprisingly or not, she looks like me when I am on “the curse” you know what I am talking about, don’t act all shocked about it ;). So you got one thing right, the America’s, specifically northern California, has the Anti Christ, everything else is just you and your tiny little mouse brain(Christine O’Donnell says there is an upgrade to human brain) making things up.

Did you know in the forbidden Nostic Gospels and the Dead Sea Scrolls that Jesus was said to have rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on the back of a baby brontosaurus?

Maybe you atheists better read up before you go making fun of legitimate religious based science. Especially since the end times are at hand and the anti Christ is either in Europe, Asia, Africa, The Americas or the Arctic. Possible Australia but most likely in one of the other places.

Try and refute that nonbelievers!

Are you serious with this comment? I know not everyone is a rocket scientist, but the lack of intelligence in some people is truly astounding. I didn’t know people could be this… yeah. Just wow, really. Not much else to say about this.
