The WORLD according to Gary Parker! OR… How to misrepresent the evidence, invent “facts”, and totally mislead people! Especially Children! 

Parker thinks that Humans and Dinosaurs lived together! Human “moccasin prints”? Dinosaur “heel prints”! The heel mark is all that’s left after erosion removes top layers. Also, prints made on harder ground leave only the prominent heel impression!

Parker ridicules scientists and basic geologic knowledge! Instead of explaining that rocks can be folded, tilted, and even turned over, he presents an image that any child would know is silly. Those SILLY geologists! Why would anyone believe THEM? 

Parker presents this explanation of rock layers… Different “ecologies” just washed neatly into layers during “Noah’s Flood”! (and nary a single Dinosaur together with a trilobite!)

And here’s PROOF that ALL of this happened during the year of the “Great Flood”! Here’s a standing tree that extends from the “Paleozoic” (trilobites) into the Mesozoic (Dinosaurs). Geologists “claim” that this time was a couple Hundred Million Years! HOW could Geologists be SO silly as to think that a tree could stand for 200 million years??? (Hint: NO SUCH ROCK EXPOSURE EXISTS!!!)

There ARE places where standing trees extend through several layers…this happened in tidal areas, along major rivers, or where fault blocks dropped down during earthquakes… We’re talking just a few years, here… In some areas, sediment deposition occurred slowly… perhaps a foot every 1,000 (or 10,000) years… In other environments, deposition happened MUCH more quickly (just like today!)… as much as several feet in a year.

And THIS picture shows how animals and plants grow to become GIANTS in warm, moist areas! In Parker’s views, the Earth was a hothouse until the heat-retaining moisture was ‘wrung out’ of the atmosphere during the “Flood”! THAT’S why all the “big animals” (dinosaurs, dragonflies, etc.) died out! So if you want to raise basketball players… Keep your kids in a greenhouse!!!

We all know that the concept of evolution is silly… …and if you didn’t think so, here a drawing to ‘prove’ it to you! ‘Cause if evolution was true, we’d see critters like this part- elephant; part-fish; part-duck; etc. walking about! In truth, such a creature would be proof that evolution is utterly wrong!

In fact, the process of evolution proceeds slowly, gradually modifying or adding features, building on what already existed! Evolution does NOT lead to entirely new creatures just popping into existence!
