Creation Evidence Museum

The Creation Evidence Museum (German as: evidence - for - the - creation - museum), originally Creation Evidences Museum (German as: evidence - for - the - creation - museum ) is a museum, the visitors a creationism corresponding worldview shows. It is located in Glen Rose in Somervell County in the middle of Texas, USA.

It was founded in 1984 by young-earth creationists Carl Baugh with the aim to present exhibits, present the evidence for creation and against evolution theory. It also tries to prove that the earth is 6,000 years old and humans and dinosaurs have coexisted. The Creation Evidence Museum (German as: evidence - for - the - creation - museum), originally Creation Evidences Museum (German as: evidence - for - the - creation - museum ) is a museum, the visitors a creationism corresponding worldview shows.

These statements are contrary to the scientific view that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old and the dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years.

History and Projects

The Creation Evidence Museum was founded by Carl Baugh, who wanted to investigate the claim, one would have on the banks of the Paluxy River found evidence that humans and dinosaurs have lived together. He claimed to have there next to dinosaur footprints found 86 human 475. Baugh, who has no scientific degree, to this day, is the director and spokesman of the CEM.

2001 Baugh and the Creation Evidence Museum were presented in the The Daily Show. In this context, Baugh moved with respect to the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs on The Flintstones.

Exhibits

All exhibits were heavily criticized and they were accused of being counterfeit or to convey a false impression.

Examples of exhibits:

• The "London hammer " is a hammer a shape as it was customary in the 18th or 19th century in America. He was found in 1934 in a limestone boulders in London ( Texas). The limestone to date from the Ordovician or Cretaceous. He was examined by scientists who came to the the conclusion that the chunks of limestone does not have to be necessarily been part of the rock in the area, but may have formed in relatively of recent time to the hammer around: " The stone is genuine and can someone impress, who is not familiar with geological processes ... Dissolved minerals can accumulate around a foreign body falls into a gap or is simply left lying on the ground, provided that the source rock (in this case determined as ordovizisch ) is chemically soluble. "
• The " Burdick Track " (Eng. The Burdick track): A human footprint on a rock of the Cretaceous period. The geologist Gregg Wilkerson wrote that the footprint having anatomical errors and was therefore most likely carved into the chalk cliffs, like other footprints in Glen Rose, too.
• The " Fossilized Human Finger " ( fossilized human finger ): A fossilized human finger, said to have been found next to a rock from the Cretaceous period. Here are doubts because it was not found in situ and therefore may not necessarily be associated with the chalk rock formation.
• Two trilobites, which give the impression of having been trampled by a sandal.
• The handprints in stone, an imprint in a chalk cliff, which gives the impression to be from a human hand. Baugh has presented no evidence that this was found in situ in a pit from the Cretaceous period. In addition, it does not allow experts to examine this impression.
• The " Alvis Delk Cretaceous Footprint", a human footprint, which is located within a footprint of an Acrocanthosaurus in Glen Rose chalk stone. The biologist Glen J. Kuban called this evidence doubtful. PZ Myers called him a gross falsification.

2008 admitted to a descendant of the family who have the Paluxy River footprints found that her grandfather has forged many of these tracks, including the " Alvis Delk Cretaceous Footprint".

Between 1982 and 1984 investigated several scientists, including JR Cole, L.R. Godfrey, R. J. Hastings and D. Schafersman, the footprints in Glen Rose. During the investigation Baugh corrected the references to the footsteps and became entangled in contradictions. After several years of studies, the researchers found that there was no evidence for the authenticity of the evidence Baughs.
