Found: The Footprints of Adam and Eve from a World Before Our Ownby Brad Steiger
(Copyright 2008, Brad Steiger - All Rights Reserved)Posted: 17:50 January 5, 2008
An enigma with which I dealt extensively in Worlds Before Our Own has to do with what appear to be humanoid footprints which are found widely scattered in the geologic strata suggestive of a quarter of a billion years ago. This "What's-it That Walked Like a Human" left shoe prints, sandal prints, and barefoot prints on sands of time that have long since hardened into rock. An early ancestor of our own species is supposed to have evolved only in the late Tertiary period and is therefore only about one million years old, but fossilized humanlike footprints have been found in rocks from the Carboniferous period to the Cambrian period, thus offering mute, but dramatic, testimony that some bipedal creatures were walking about from 250 million to 500 million years ago. The fossil tracks of both bare and shod feet of a decidedly humanoid impression have been found in sites ranging from Virginia and Pennsylvania, through Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Utah, Oklahoma, and Texas. The prints give every evidence of having been made by human feet at a time when the rocks were soft mud or pliant sand.

Although the discovery of these footprints in the stones of time are hardly rare or recent occurrences, geologists, archaeologists, and anthropologists by and large refuse to accept such fossil evidence at face value because to do so would be to acknowledge that humans or some other bipedal humanoid or hominid creature lived in the earliest years of hypothetical evolutionary history.
This bipedal creature with humanlike stride presents a riddle which has scientists scratching their heads. By any stretch of the evolutionary timeline, the footprints simply could not have been made by humans.
As early as January, 1940, Albert C. Ingalls, wrote of such enigmatic footprints and described them as the “carboniferous mystery” in an issue of Scientific American, As he postulated, “If man, or even his ape ancestor, or even that ape ancestor’s early mammalian ancestor, existed as far back as in the Carboniferous Period in any shape, then the whole science of geology is so completely wrong that all the geologists will resign their jobs and take up truck driving. Hence, for the present, science rejects the attractive explanation that man made those mysterious prints in the mud of the Carboniferous Period with his feet.”
