Dr. Carl E. Baugh, director of the Creation Evidence Museum, joins Art Bell to discuss creation evidence, a hyperbaric biosphere, and human-dinosaur coexistence after a cattle-mutilation letter. Art reads a listener account of six mutilated calves found in Idaho, stripped of skin and organs with no blood present, followed by unidentified men in a white van who confiscated photographs and removed the carcasses.

Baugh explains that doubled atmospheric pressure and enhanced electromagnetic fields would have tripled oxygen absorption into blood plasma, allowing dinosaurs with small lungs to thrive. In experiments, fruit flies under these conditions tripled their adult lifespan in just the second generation, a result he believes would translate to 200-year human lifespans.

Baugh presents evidence for recent human-dinosaur coexistence, including Anasazi rock carvings depicting sauropod dinosaurs and Peruvian burial stones showing detailed dermal patterns later confirmed by European fossil discoveries. He argues that the decay rate of Earth's magnetic field, measured since 1829, makes any timeline beyond 20,000 years physically impossible for sustaining molecular life.

Key Moments

  1. Hyperbaric biosphere triples oxygen uptake: Baugh argues that shrinking Earth's diameter 10 to 12 percent doubles atmospheric pressure, and that Texas A&M research shows doubling pressure with slightly enriched oxygen triples oxygen assimilation by driving it past hemoglobin saturation into the blood plasma.

  2. Why dinosaurs cannot live in today's atmosphere: Baugh claims his excavation of 11 dinosaurs shows they had very small lungs, and that without the doubled pre-Flood atmospheric pressure feeding deep cell tissue, a dinosaur today would get dizzy, fall over and die.

  3. Hunt for living pterodactyls in Papua New Guinea: Baugh recounts his 1997 government-sanctioned expedition that produced five after-dark sightings consistent with native reports, plus two webbed footprints with a tail-flange impression, a feature he says is biologically unique to rhamphorhynchid pterodactyls.

  4. Man appeared 6,000 years ago, in six literal days: Asked when man first walked Earth, Baugh, citing the decay of Earth's magnetic field and pleochroic halos as evidence of instantaneous creation, says man appeared full-blown about 6,000 years ago, with all interrelated systems created in six literal Earth days.

  5. Adam was 7 to 7 1/2 feet tall, lived 200 years: Baugh explains that mammals have a secondary genetic ossification that closes bone ends at maturity, and using a 7-to-1 height-to-foot ratio from his excavated footprints he estimates Adam and his contemporaries averaged 7 to 7 1/2 feet tall, with Eve and her female colleagues 6 to 6 1/2 feet, lifespans around 200 years.
