Gov. Sarah Palin never ceases to amaze. Apparently, the latest is her version of creationism taken to a bizarre extreme. Did human beings and dinosaurs live together? And, if so, how long ago did humans and dinosaurs coexist on Earth? Should we assemble a panel of the greatest scientific minds to explore these pressing questions/unresolved issues that could lead to some major breakthroughs in human history as we know it? No, lets ask Gov. Palin. This if from the LA Times accessed through Huffington Post: "Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago - about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct - the teacher said. After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs. Palin told him that 'dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time,' Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said 'she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks,' recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska." In the words of the immortal philosopher Fred Flintstone (Dino's owner ... as you can tell by the license tag in the image), "Yabba-Dabba Do!"Huffington Post on Palin and dinosaurs:
