The Paluxy River hoax is a very old one.  It has been around for several 
decades now.  Essentially, it consists of a handful of handcarved fake 
footprints, and a number of misidentified dino prints, used in a phony 
"proof" that non-avian dinosaurs and humans coexisted.

When you cite an old hoax, then expect to be called on it.

No,  I really don't think you would care about that.  You don't care 
about the disposition of your own immortal soul, why should you care 
about a trivial thing like appearing ridiculous?

And I only say that, in this universe, the real one that we live in, time 
is relative.  So if God created this world in six days, we need to know 
the viewpoint clock's position and velocity in order to translate that 
measure into our own time relative to us here, now.

Of course, you only need such subterfuge, when you insist on a literal 
interpretation of Genesis 1.  Since the church has never insisted on such 
a literal interpretation, and since Jewish tradition has never insisted 
on it, you're on your own there.

This has never been about faith in what God can do, it is about 
rationally ascertaining what actually happened.  And when.

Apparently your cult requires you to invent lies about science in order 
to sup****t a dogma about how to interpret scripture.  Tell me, which 
Bible verses tell you to do that?

Inquiring minds want to know.
