Evangelism Challenge
One of the most remarkable discoveries of all time was made at Point Twelve at the Dougherty site of the Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas. Frozen in time and pressured by the ages in the smooth layered limestone are two footmarks, side by side.1
They look for all the world like the handiwork of some dreamy schoolgirl playing in a sand pile. One is the three-toed and deep impression of a heavy animal. The other is remarkably dissimilar. For there, next to the monster dinosaur print is the five-toed footprint of a human being! Perfectly formed and sharp, these two impressions are monuments to the past and to the present.2 Strange as this may seem, the BBC reported, in March 2009, the discovery of even stranger fossilized footprints over 1.5 million years old! Is this evidence that humans walked with the "great creatures" of the Bible all those years ago?
The dinosaur, seemingly so large, strong and invulnerable has fallen into extinction; the human being, so fragile by comparison, still walks on and continues to inhabit the earth. The church has winced from opponents within and without over the past two thousand years. But, God lives on and so does his church and his people.
