Thanks, David. I was climbing mountains one time near Canyon City, Colorado at about 9,000 ft above sea level, and found hundreds of rocks with sea shells fossilized within them. I thought, Wow, how did those sea shells get way up here? The theory, I was later told, is that those mountains had been pushed up over millions and millions of years from what used to be a salt lake. I think perhaps those mountains were pushed up, but not over a long period of time, instead relatively quickly, as the fountains of the deep burst forth. All of this to say that I know what you mean: people will always find a way to justify their beliefs. I suppose the same is true with the T-Rex in Montana. I was under the impression that the Carbon dating of the "blood" from its bones had given indication of a fairly recent date (within a few thousand years).
