Welcome To The Online Dinosaur Tracker Museum
This museum is what is commonly called a creation museum. What does that mean? We take the observable facts and fossils, and learn what they tell us without without presuppositions.
The evaluation of fossils typically involves circular reasoning, with conclusion based on the assumption evolution happened. Here's a quote from a book called "Contested Bones." The subject is human evolution and fossils supposedly showing evolution:
"They will point to discoveries such as a partial skeleton that was found in Woranco-Mille in the Afar region of Ethiopia. This skeleton was much taller than Lucy, and was nicknamed 'Kadanuumuu' which means 'Big Man.' It was dated to 3.6 million years old and was included in the Afarensis hypodigm [a type of ape]. According to paleo-expert Haile Selassie, 'It had long legs and a torso and a pelvis more like a modern human than an African ape, showing that fully upright walking was in place at this early date.' The anatomy seen in the knee joint, pelvis, ribcage, shoulder blade, neck vertebra, and the overall body proportions neatly align with Homo sapiens/Homo erectus."
What this is saying is that 100% human looking fossils are found mixed in with 100% ape looking fossils, all in the same location. The location is dated as 3 to 5 million years old. To those who assume evolution is true, an age of 3 to 5 million years means the human looking fossils cannot be human. Why? Because humans had not supposedly evolved into existence that long ago. The only "logical" conclusion, based on the assumption evolution is real, is that the 100% human looking fossils cannot be accepted as human. They must be an ape. And viola! These human fossils become fossils of apes transitioning to humans. Proof humans evolved from apes!
Do you see what has happened? The conclusion is not based on what was actually observed. What is observed is reinterpreted in order to get the desired conclusion. The assumption that, because evolution happened it is impossible to find three million year old human and ape fossils together, forces the evidence to be something other than what it is. What is physically observed is of no consequence, the conclusion MUST ALWAYS BE that evolution happened. That is a hard and firm law of science. So the fully human fossils must be interpreted as apes transitioning to human. That's not science. That's meta-physics, a faith system (belief in evolution) requiring that the conclusion always be that evolution happened, without regard for the physical evidence.
Do you see what they are doing? The assumption evolution happened means fossils that are actually human must be interpreted to be those of an ape evolving to be human, and that proves evolution is true. Huh? It's circular.
What should be done is to look at the fossils and accept them for what they are. In this case the are human fossils, that are supposedly 3 to 5 million years old, mixed with ape fossils as well as those of other animals. We need to take the evidence at face value. What the evidence plainly shows is that humans and apes lived together at the time they died. Let's stick with the facts, and not get into circular reasoning. That's what our museum is about. The facts. The truth.
