Here's a look into Sarah Palin's fundamentalist psyche according to a Baptist minister who has clashed with her several times.

Is this the kind of person you want possibly in charge of the US military and nuclear arsenal? She thinks she'll witness Armageddon during her lifetime and I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to force it, given the chance.
What she most probably saw were bipedal dinosaur tracks in chalky marl eroded by the Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas. I went with other ichnologists (experts on fossil footprints, tracks, trails and burrows) to that location during the early 80s. We saw NO HUMAN FOOTPRINT. We did see some dinosaur footprints that had also been altered by local 'entreprenors' to resemble human footprints -some of which were obviously works in progress - a practice that dates to around The Great Depression when they used this to attract tourists and sell some of those fakes to gullible creationists.
If I remember correctly, one trail showed where a man had supposedly had tried to run from a carnosaur (weren't these supposed to be friendly before Teh Flood?). Problem is, the way they had carved the big toes meant the dude or lady was running with his legs crossed.

"I pushed her on the earth's creation, whether it was really less than 7,000 years old and whether dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. And she said yes, she'd seen images somewhere of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them."
