Well this is bound to stir up some controversy, 21,000 YBP human footprints at White Sands:

Not sure how anyone can argue with the carbon dating, but I am getting my popcorn ready...

Are you implying that Clovis First may be incorrect?

Wow!

This feels personal to me since I once lived very close (within eyesight) of White Sands.

Great story, Richard the Bad!

Thank you.

    Since when do facts counter wishful thinking?

There are cults everywhere nowadays.

    ...hmmm  Is there an Exmo Cult?  Are there dues?

Yes, and you are behind on yours.

    Yes, I am a big behind, as well as not caught up on my dues...

Did Jesus make them?

My old Seminary teacher would claim that Satan made the footprints to confuse the weak minded.

Too bad he didn't have dinosaur prints with them.

A thought: the first atomic bomb exploded by human beings was triggered in New Mexico a mere 23,000 to 30,000 years after those footprints were laid down there...

Dinosauria existed from about 210 million years ago up to about 65 million years ago. So that's roughly 145 million years...

What happened during those millions and millions of years? For a while, after seeing the original Fantasia, I thought I knew, but now I wonder.

If humanity could last that long, 145 million years, what might we accomplish? And if humanity were wiped out by a big ass meteor strike, how much of what we've created would be in place and identifiable after 65 million years of weather and a tectonically active Earth?

It wouldn't be humanity making those accomplishments by then.

    Sure it would! "humanity" is just a label for whatever it's labeling!  

    If you mean that humanity 'then' will be nothing like the humanity 'now', I agree. But that's true for even much shorter periods of time.

    Are you the 'man' now that you were 30 years ago? But you're still a man . . .

I have yet to make the transition...to transhuman.

Some experts who believe that the Earth's sixth great extinction is looming are convinced that in a few million years the only thing left from our time will be a few fragments of plastic such as the hard plastic bottle caps from single use bottles.
Therefore our culture will be known to any intelligent life in that future time as the "plastic people'.

    PET plastic is described as being non-biodegradable!  PET plastics are used in water and soda bottles, so apparently, it's not just the bottle cap that will go on forever, but the entire bottle.

Silly peoples. Father Adam was in the Garden of Eden for 483,000 years prior to Lilith dumping him, and Eve eating him out of house and home, and he had tons of time for extended walkabouts.

Oh ye of little faith.

    And everything and everybody stayed alive for all those thousands of years, until dog-gone Eve bit the apple and Death entered the world.

    Total bummer!

from another article " I don't know what gods they prayed to, but this is a dream find." hahahahahahaha, that just busts me up, hahahahahah
