Quote by: Technosoul I am not sure a Creationist would accept "that it must be a hoax because science knows that humans did not exsist then" concerning their footprint evidence.

You miss the point. There is no footprint evidence. There are no human footprints in the bed of the Paluxy river. There are tracks for dinosaurs probably made by an Acrocanthosaurus, a theropod predator that has been found in strata of similar age in the area, and a Pleurocoelus, a sauropod also found in the area. Other tracks were probably made by an Iguanodon, and a Tenontosaurus, two species of ornithopod dinosaur. Of course, the tracks might have been made by some species that has not been found, but the above species would have made tracks very like those in the river, and they are known to have lived at the time, more than 100 million years ago.

Perhaps you didn't understand that every single track that was origionally claimed by creationists to have been made by a man has since been shown to be that of a dinosaur. Even John Morris of the ICR conceded that to be true. Not even Carl Baugh claims any of his original tracks. He now claims that there are human tracks inside the dinosaur tracks.

Just like science might not like it if their evidence was called a hoax.

Wouldn't matter. It would be necessary to demonstrate conclusively that it is a hoax before any creationist claims would matter.

The creationist evidence that is a hoax is the carved giant track carved on the bottom of a slab from the Paluxy.

We live in an age of technology, would it not be possible to carve a fosil that supports the theory of evolution also?

No. But why would anyone want to do that in the first place?

Can you tell the difference between an orginal and a fake?

Can I? Probably in many cases. Can experts in the field? Most certainly. There have been examples of just some events.

Is it possible to detect if a caved rock, or pottery for that matter, was made today or was made 100 years ago?

It would depend. Some artifacts found in the desert and claimed to be old were shown to be quite recent because they lacked desert varnish that would have been present if they were old. But fossils are usually dated by the strata in which they are found.
