Why else would He tease some of His biggest fans by putting a huge heap of anti-creationist evidence right in their backyard?
A newly discovered batch of well-preserved dinosaur bones, petrified trees and even freshwater clams in southeastern Utah could provide new clues about life in the region some 150 million years ago.The Bureau of Land Management announced the find Monday, calling the quarry near Hanksville “a major dinosaur fossil discovery.”

Or maybe it’s just hard to deny evolution when you live in a state where every time you dig a hole in the ground a 150 million year old fossil turns up.
Too bad there’s no dinosaur quarry underneath the Southern Baptist Convention.
