[edit] Responses

1. Creationists who make this claim fail to realize that Moab man was buried in a grave that was carved into Cretaceous sandstones.
2. The claim can't seem to agree even with itself as to whether it was Cretaceous or Jurassic rock, given as how Creationists have claimed both kinds of rock.
