Awful Archaeology Ep. 4: Creationist Footprint Conspiracies

linktr.ee/miniminuteman
In this video I discuss three different instances of creationist footprint conspiracies. Each one is an example of an out of place artifact (OOPA) that "prove" that humankind walked the earth for hundreds of millions of years and at times even suggest that we coexisted with dinosaurs. Join me in seeing how these conspiracies misinterpret the fossil record, create their own evidence and crumble under their own weight.

    I grew up with Creationism. I read Creation magazine and Answers in Genesis. I’m one semester away from obtaining a degree in biology, with a focus in evolutionary biology and microbiology. My first year in university was brutal. There was so much that I “should remember from high school.”. The thing is my 12 grade bio class was basically a YEC apologetics course. I really struggled my first year, but I eventually made up for my lack of knowledge. I had long since rejected Creationism and Christianity, but I started school at a stark disadvantage.

    I'm not sure what to call myself. Perhaps a "I believe God created the Earth but I personally don't take a position on how He did it or really care." Teach the science correctly, and don't let obsession over trying to interpret Genesis or Noah's Ark, etc, distract from the purpose of scripture to instruct spiritually, that is the way I operate.

    @@WasatchWind Not-sarcastic clapping. Good take. I'm an atheist, but believe that if you're religious or spiritual, it can fill the gaps of the unknown that creates anxiety without being something you argue against verified scientific discovery with. It can be really helpful for coping with really tough topics for all of us, like death, and all of the little things that come up that just seem "odd" or "wiggy" that you can't really prove with science. Like... in childhood, I once found that a toy had seemingly duplicated overnight! No kidding. I can't explain that one with science to this day. It can also be helpful as a set of moral guidelines. I find that most of the religious morals that are taught that I've seen are relatively harmless. The "treat others how you want to be treated" or "Golden Rule" and the "love thy neighbor" and "brotherhood" and "God loves all his children" are good examples of that, when taken at face value. It's inevitable that everyone in this life has anxiety over all that is unknown to them, and it's perfectly okay to fill that void with spiritualism, religious belief, and community from either of those things. What isn't okay is spreading complete misinformation, especially for a political or economic agenda, knowingly or unknowingly. That's propaganda, and that's sinister.

There are intersections of course, but though moral religious teachings may help us practice science ethically, and professional psychological and medical science can help aid people in their life struggles, I believe we should be careful to not let either speak too authoritatively for the other field. I believe that science and religion are simply two sides of the same greater truths - but that we currently have an imperfect knowledge of both.

If you don't heal the sick, shelter the homeless, and feed the hungry, you don't get to call yourself Christian. And this does include using your vote to demand that your governments at all levels work to heal the sick, shelter the homeless, and feed the hungry. It's not rocket science!

    Late to the party here, but I have a fun fact for you regarding horses (horse feet is my job). Horses' front "knees" are actually parallel structures to our wrists. Below that structure is one big metacarpal bone with a smaller vestigial metacarpal bone on each side. We call them metacarpal 3, and mc 2 and 4, respectively. Metacarpal 3 is our middle finger. So horses are constantly flipping the bird.

    Apparently the poll suggesting that 40% of Americans are young-earth creationists was flawed in that it rolled two questions into one, the other being "do you believe God created man?" prompting participants to answer "yes" based on belief in God alone. When the survey was reproduced to *only* ask if the Earth was less than 10,000 years old it dropped down to about 18%. This was in an article from 11 years ago so I don't know if it increased or decreased since then.

Your reply to the senior archeologist in regards to the so called "Baghdad Battery" was also a good watch. As an animal science major I have to say that most animals do walk on their toes, not just horses. Most animals with paws, anything with hooves, birds, and a good number of other invertebrates. It's really the vertebrates that do walk on their heels which are weird.

    The Ark Encounter is also horribly constructed. There's a layer of concrete ON TOP OF THE DAMN THING, because apparently that's how you seal something that's going to get rained on. They also claim that it's timber frame construction. As a woodworker, the construction terrifies me. They used lag bolts, some being 36 inches long, to hold green trees together, not cut and shaped timbers, whole ass trees. There are cracks in the load bearing supports, some of which you can see all the way through. That place needs to be shut down and demolished. That said, I'll take all of the lumber and logs if it gets demolished.

The fact that he encourages others to do their own research and has corrected himself multiple times also adds to it. I don’t trust people who aren’t willing to look at themselves and accept change or accept that they’re wrong. Of course you shouldn’t believe everything on the internet (and I’m not forcing you to trust in anything) but from the evidence we’ve seen Milo is pretty open and factual in his statements and puts a lot of time and effort into his research before making videos like this.

    So a bit of a fun fact about that "Noah's arc replica" is that during construction it was found that actually building an arc that could float with the given specifications was impossible even with modern machinery and techniques. They had to abort the plans for making it a bronze-age boat replica and instead made it a building shaped like a boat with modern concrete and steel to get it to support its own weight. So they accidentally thoroughly debunked the idea that Noah's Arc ever actually happened, but they made sure to deny that publicly as much as possible.

I do believe God created the universe, and the Earth, and the life on it, and the mechanics that have caused change over time. (And "change over time" is essentially the definition of "evolution.") It doesn't require any stretches of logic to see science for what it is and give credit to a creator who put all of that into motion. I recall a physics teacher who basically said "science is here to answer what, when, where, and who; why is a question for philosophy and religion."

I always said that “the Bible tells us who, science tells us how.” I still think that’s a reasonable way to look at things, and that statement helped prevent me from getting into debates with Christian friends who didn’t think the way I did, but could see my side of it after I explained it that way. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with getting into a debate, but there may be times you don’t want to.

    16:50 The description of the feet as being "good sized, toes well spread and very distinctly marked" isn't completely meaningless, as the prolonged wearing of shoes tends to squash the toes together and weaken the muscles so that footprints left by someone who grew up wearing shoes would not have spread toes much or at all, and the toes would be less distinctly marked. Them being allegedly "good-sized" probably means adult-sized. Presumably, the intended meaning here, is that the footprints are clearly ancient, as people in the present wear shoes, and people 65+ million years ago did not, even though that probably would fall into the theoretical "pre-deluvian" period when humanity was supposed to have super advanced technology, which one would assume such people as these young-earth creationists would assume to include shoes. Given everything else, I think it more likely that the footprints could have been left by someone who didn't wear shoes because they were raised by wolves, but there is another more plausible possibility, maybe, I think. Indigenous peoples in North America used much softer materials for making shoes, like animal hides, which presumably would not squash the toes to the same degree as solid European shoes, and, as attested to by the "Shoe" Wikipedia page, they went mostly barefoot in the summer. I don't know if these practices would still have been applicable there in the 1880s, but it seems like it could be vaguely possible. Alternatively, a lot of slaves didn't get shoes, I think, probably. So, the footprint could have been an Indigenous person, a slave, or a Mowgli-type individual, much more likely than being somehow 65 million years old.

    I like that his disdain extends to the name. Hyracotherium is an ugly name, and does not, as he implies, mean "dawn horse." It means "hyrax-like beast," which is odd as it bears little resemblance to a hyrax. Eohippus, the rejected American name, does mean "dawn horse" and is a beautiful name. Fortunately, Hyracotherium is no longer classified as an equid and Eohippus has been restored to its proper status as a valid equid genus.

    So one thing I just love about living near glen rose is if you go to Dino valley park, they have signs directly across from the creationist museums saying “not factual ->” and the creationist museum can’t do anything about it because it’s not on their property. And every park ranger immediately comes and fact checks any tour the creationist museum try’s to do within the park. We really like to swim there so we like to sit back watch the daily Dino drama. Because it IS daily. Like it’s an active feud. And if you think Dino valley is the only science center in glen rose who has beef with the creationists you’d be wrong. Fossil rim, a zoo/ conservation breeding ranch also has beef with them over a Noah’s arc incident where the creation museum asked fossil rim if they could borrow animals for an event. Were told no. And then took the animals anyway. How? Well fossil rim is surrounded by private property ranches. And sometimes the animals get out and you’ll just have like a zebra in your lawn. Private residents can get into a program that pays them to allow the animals to graze when this happens cause it happens so much that doing this wastes less resources. Just let it graze and then round them up later. But you’re supposed to report the animal to fossil rim so they know where the animal is. Well the creationist museum started posing as fossil rim and doing other shady stuff to come collect the animals and return them to fossil rim. But in reality they were just storing them on one guys ranch to prep for the Noah event. This was years ago and ever since fossil rim and Dino valley have teamed up to collectively beef the creationist museum and try and run it out of town. And good. It’s really preachy and boring.

    I once went to the Creation Museum + the Ark experience when I was going to my Christian private school (preschool through 8th grade, because of course it would be). We had to write a creation/Christianity-based paper before we could go, and one of the sites offered to us to get information from was the Answers in Genesis site, the ones who technically fund/run(?) the place. I mean.. it's pretty interesting, and it's cool to see actual models and displays (some life-size) of scenes depicted from the Bible. And nothing can prepare you for how huge the Ark is, genuinely; I wanted to get a picture looking up at the boat's edge while standing under one of the ends of the boat, and I almost fell backwards because that shit keeps going up Anyways, nowadays I'm more questioning my faith, and disagree with a lot of the things shown in the museum and stuff, but it is still a pretty cool experience, whatever you may believe (That, and I'm a big animal lover, and not only are there (small) petting zoos at both the Ark and the museum, but there's depictions and models of "ancient" animals that are shown in cages in the Ark (them trying to be as accurate to the time period as possible, it was genuinely so cool), there's some real animals in the museum like their display fish (there's some kind of blind cave fish at one point? Idk if it was a fish or an amphibian, but it was a blind cave something), and when I was there the museum's petting zoo had a zonkey and a zorse. Also, I can't really remember it, but there was definitely a section about dragons that I didn't really get to check out)

    eh, creationism (or atleast young earth creationism) is not really about an inaccurate but complete model, it's kinda just reading an old book and thinking that everything it says is fact and shaping the world around you so that it can work, an accurate description of an inaccurate but complete model would be how science already works as a whole to explain the world around us, once you go into a certain amount of complexity in any real system in the universe you can't fully understand it, an example is how we know that with a certain amount of force in a given direction a ball will move in that direction with a certain speed proportional to the direction and kinetic energy of whatever moved it but if you keep shrinking down the things you are moving it gets harder and harder to explain, eventually to the point where we have no tools that could accurately measure what exactly is happening, so assumptions and generalizations are made in order to explain accurately what is happening however that is not a complete understanding and therefore is an inaccurate but (ideally) complete model, making it more accurate without making it incomplete is the goal, but sometimes it's a balance for example if they find a system that perfectly explains something but fails in other areas. but in the end inaccuracy to a certain degree with everything is inevitable, we don't know how fast a ball actually moves with a certain amount of force acted on it, we have a very accurate measurement, but it's still not perfect @@TheNinthGenerarion

    the point of science isn't just to take evidence to answer things, it has and currently does makes assumptions and generalizations on how things work in order for predictions and models to work, the accuracy of these assumptions and the ability for them to work in our universe is what's important, but for the reality of things it requires evidence, it's possible for 2 systems to explain everything we know but tests need to be done in order to find how it actually works, creationism doesn't do much different, whether or not the statement is "oh it works because god" that is an assumption and even if it can explain how things around are that doesn't mean it explains how things actually work, only that they are how they are because of god. going back to the 2 systems that can both explain how things are if one was "because god made it that way" and the other was "because of a complicated system" they can both be untestable but if they found a way to test the complicated system and found that it explains how things are perfectly and also does exist and can be proven, than we know that it's right, but the other one isn't wrong either because it was too vague to begin with and includes not only the system that was proven true but every system that could exist, so basically "because of god" is incomplete and an assumption because it's an assumption that god makes everything work, and incomplete because there is no known evidence to prove it regardless of whether or not people think it's true, so it doesn't actually explain the universe because "knowing" that god did it doesn't make people understand how the universe works any better than some vague scientific idea and could "prove" literally anything that could happen with respect to what we know for certain, it's as good as saying "well this thing works as far as we know" but stated as "this is how things work" it's still incomplete, however a "complete" system is hard to define because it could mean that it contains everything that is true or it contains how we think things could work with the definition of the first one that a complete system is everything that is true no system is complete @@TheNinthGenerarion

    I'm sorry to hear about your family, must feel awful. As a Danish citizen I "won the lottery" by being born into a deeply Christian family myself, which is always fun, when like ~10% of our population actually identify as Christian, and way fewer are young earth creationists. My mom is one of those, although she's kinda confused, cus I'm pretty sure she accepts that ice ages took place, and that animals like mammoths and sabre tooth cats existed, but gets worked up over the mention of neanderthals. A lot of my family, including my parents, hold some bigoted opinions, like anti-lgbtq+ and shit like that. I really wanna help change that, but I'm very divided on how to approach it, because I suspect it to be very grounded in their core beliefs, and I haven't yet decided whether or not its worth ripping up in that, considering it could risk our relationships. I am also the most conflict-shy mf I know so... But I came across a very promising method of examining people's beliefs called Street Epistemology (you may have heard about it). It's so non-confrontational if you do it right, yet it can be so effective in cutting right to the bone. Its about exploring the methods you may have used to arrive at the conclusion that what you believe is true. If you yourself feel up for talking with your family about christianity and/or some of the bigoted views often associated with it, then I highly recommend you check out this method. A guy called Anthony Magnabosco has a channel where he practices this, and its incredible to see. I hope that whatever you decide to do that it works out in your favor, and if not, that you'll still find happiness and acceptance for yourself and your family.

The Bible is not a literally true account of history. It is a collection of allegorical stories from various places and times that are there to teach us how we should live our lives.
