This item appeared in the 12/31/83 edition of The Easton Express in Easton, Pa. with the headline, CREATIONISTS' MUSEUM TO COPY NOAH'S ARK GLEN ROSE, Texas (AP) - A 3.5$ million international creationist museum modeled after Noah's Ark will be built near the site where a group claims to have found evidence that knocks down the theory of evolution. Plans for the museum were announced Thursday during a meeting of the Bible Science Association and members of the group also showed fossilized human bones that they said prove evolution is a hoax. Organizer Carl E. Baugh said the museum would be the exact size of the ark described in the Bible as carrying Noah, his family and animals to safety during the great flood. "It will be 450 feet long, 45 feet high and 75 feet wide," said Baugh, a Missouri minister who has been active in creationist groups. Plans call for the museum to be built near the Paluxy river, west of Glen Rose, where numerous fossilized dinosaur tracks have been found. Baugh gained attention last year when he claimed he found human footprints in the same limestone as dinosaur tracks at Glen Rose. Although his findings were rejected by many scientists, Baugh said finding the human and dinosaur prints in the same limestone stratum proved the evolutionary theories are wrong. Scientists say dinosaurs had been extinct for 70 million years before the appearance of man.

May I suggest some recent issues of Creation/Evolution?
There have been several articles dealing with the "human
footprints" at the Paluxy River (Paluxy Man...Homo Paluxus?)
Also, a the Winter 1983 issue was entirely devoted to
debunking the "Flood geology" (Arkeology) used by some
creationists to "prove" that the biblical account in Genesis
is accurate..
