Comment from UTT:

Human footprints located in Crete were made in layers that evolutionary geologists claim were deposited 5.7 million years ago. Obviously this is a major problem to the theory of evolution. This article discusses the problem and offers a biblical solution. Is it possible the whole concept proposed by evolutionary geology to date the layers of the earth needs to be revised?

September 11 - Discovery of Ancient Human-Like Footprints Challenges Evolutionary Narrative

Article: Creation/Evolution - Creation-Evolution Debate

Scientists have discovered human-like footprints in Crete that, according to evolutionists, predate the origin of modern humans by more than one million years. According to evolutionary scientists, the ancestry of modern humans can be traced back to the 4.4-million-year-old Ardipithecus ramidus�an ape-like species that lived in Africa. Ardipithecus ramidus had ape-like feet, but evolutionists believe its descendants eventually learned to walk upright, leading to the development of bipedal humans. However, the recent discovery of ancient footprints on a European island calls the premise into question.

�Newly discovered human-like footprints from Crete may put the established narrative of early human evolution to the test,� reported Phys.org. �The footprints are approximately 5.7 million years old and were made at a time when previous research puts our ancestors in Africa�with ape-like feet.�

A team of international researchers dated the footprints by analyzing nearby marine fossils and sedimentary rock. They say they are confident in the assigned age of the prints, even though it does not match with evolutionary predictions. �The new footprints, from Trachilos in western Crete, have an unmistakably human-like form,� the website explained. �This is especially true of the toes. The big toe is similar to our own in shape, size and position; it is also associated with a distinct �ball� on the sole, which is never present in apes.�
