Noah dropped some flood relics in Tyler, Texas!

One East Texas man believes he found fossils from Noah’s flood and a self-proclaimed fossil expert says he’s right.

“From Noah’s flood to my front yard, how much better can it get,” Wayne Propst said.

I suppose the guy can console and/or delude himself by saying the crap came from Noahs ark, but that wouldn't change the fact that he's jumping for joy at fossilized shit.

And the self-proclaimed expert will probably even recommend against it. While you can find objects in the process of fossilization, a true fossil - when you can officially say THIS is a fossil - takes a minimum of 10,000 years. Creationists estimate the flood as happening around 4500 years ago.
