It is doubly confusing when we actually look at the text of the article again:
the article wrote:"Quite a few people seem to be running and heading the same way," Cupper told LiveScience. "Some of the little children were walking slower. This may suggest that there were several events represented."
They aren't making the claim that several events were represented. They aren't even making the claim that the prints suggest that multiple events were represented. The only claim made is that the prints may suggest that multiple events were represented.

I think somebody is having a bad reading comprehension day.

face it, scientific boys and girls, we're flat out up against it.

intelligent design wins again.

the footprints are incontrovertible proof of noah and his clan after the waters receded.
mount ararat - and the ark - can't be more than a couple miles away.

the only previous thesis against this is that the aboriginals were actually one of the lost tribes.

and so the argument rages on.

i hear several expeditions have been mounted already.

You've got promise, John.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

you know tj your arrogance is over ruling your common sense and your petty insults just demonstrate your lack of character.
exactly why do you think the reports on the footprints are outlandish?
sorry stan, i wasn't referring to the footprints itself but the conclusions they were intimating. the fact that researchers have to come up with some sort of explanation in which they can not provide any corroboration gets old.

all they have are footprints, nothing else and anyone with an ounce of grey matter knows that something happened or many things happened at that site.

then there are these morons like tj, who are so childish that whenever someone doesn't agree with them that person is ignorant and unintelligent or doesn't understand anything they are doing. what stupidity and spoiledness to think that if no one argues your way then you have to take your ball and go home.

grow up tj, you are just another immature child.
If they are heavier, their footprints go deeper.
If they are children, their footprints are smaller.
If they are going in different directions, their feet point
in different directions
if i had a dime for everytime someone told me the obvious, i could buy this website and a few other properties. there is nothing said in that article that is earthshattering or news.

Look troll, it's simple: Refute the geology that the dating of the prints is based on or accept that geology and those dates.

bet you love this stuff Arch
your side claims that it proves man and dinosaurs were contemporary

the tracks appear in strata over 80,000,000 years old
and they are much larger than present human specimens
Genesis 6 KJV
"4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

There are variety of footprints.

They indicate a number fo people of varying size, and that some were running was others were not.

Either they were all formed by one group of people on specific occasion. Or they were formed over a number of occasions. The footprint patterns suggest the possiblity of the latter, though no-one will ever really be able to say for sure.

I really don't see what the problem is? Unless you're intimating that because there's no mention of this in the Bible it never happened? And even then surely even the most ardent creationist has to accept the possiblity that it was mentioned in one of the many books that don't appear in our modern Bible ;)

Perhaps, one group was going out for a pass and the other group was waiting to see if it was a pass play or a running play?

It would be supremely arrogant to think that WE invented beach football.

What is the harm in speculating in this particular case? Is it going to change the facts? No! Is it changing history? No! Are people going to do it anyway whether or not the scientists do it? Yes.

that is not what i see being said in the article:
The researchers believe the prints were made over a series of weeks or months about 20,000 years ago when the site was exposed. Males and females, ranging from children to adults, are represented, and many of them seem to be doing different things.
since these were beside 'lakes' it is quite possible and more likely they were done at the same time, frolicking at a beach for example. which would lend tothe theory that ancient man was not sodifferent from modern man.
What is the harm in speculating in this particular case
depends upon the assumption that goes with.
Look troll
look, stop insulting, i have been here longer than you and usually treat everyone well, just because i disagree with you and think in ways smarter than you does it give you license to belittle me. i have believed the Bible for 42 years and though much has changed in the last 30 years, i still stay true to the basics of the Bible which is more than i can say about someone like you who jumps ship at the littlest sign of controversy.

in my eyes you deserve no respect because you couldn't weather the storm and hang in there with the Bible.

speaking of the bible, isn't there some aphorism about removing the beam from your own eye before attempting to remove the mote from your brother's? hmmmm ???????????

"Intelligent thought" is not compatible with biblical fairy tales.

The need for such childishness should long have passed. It really is time for humanity to grow up and stop hanging on to non-existent father figures.
