I think that's a fine signature, actually.

Perhaps getting soft during the last few millenia; maybe you should go and have a nice lie down for a while.

Sounds good. I'll be in my sarphopegus sarcogaphus box if anyone needs me.
 
Well, it's not like you would expect proper references evidence. For some people what they believe, or want to believe is more important than what they know or can prove. What makes this guy annoying is that what he wants other people to believe is more important...

A big bird with no feathers? Yeah that could be dinosaurs, or a big bat, or batman, or.... well just a story. The royalists had witchfinders, and believed all kinds of woo.

Is a Sarciphagus a coffin that takes the piss?


The village is 'St. Fagans' (pronounced Fag-uns). I was born and brought up about 10 miles away from the place. I loved these kind of stories when I was younger (ex subscriber of Fortean Times) and I've never heard of it before today. The National Museum of Wales has a very large open-air site at St. Fagans which details Welsh life through the ages. They have relocated houses, chapels, shops etc (inc a cock pit and a tannery) from approx 500 yrs ago to the 80's. I have taken the kids there many times and they love it. So I've emailed them (see below) and I'll post their response should I get one.

Sirs, A creationist lecturer, former science teacher and head of AIG UK, Mr. Paul Taylor, has stated in a recent Web-Lecture: "... the battle of [St. Fagans] which although is in the English Civil war actually took place in Wales. And after the battle in which there were a lot of people dead on the battlefield, there are some eye witnesses who wrote about it at the time, who reckon that this large huge bird without feathers, this dragon type thing, swooped over the battlefield and was sort of it was obviously [carrion] eating thing it was having [its fill] of dead bodies, a rather gruesome story but the description sounds very alike a Pterodactyl type" [sic] Now, I was born and brought up in Cardiff and have dined out on similar mythologies of the South Wales area. Never have I come across this particular myth, dressed as truth incidentally by Mr Taylor. Mr Taylor and his cohort at AIG believe some very strange things and have been repeatedly caught spreading falsehood, continually quote-mining eminent science professionals and contorting science into the bastardised version that they hold so dear. My question to you and I hope you can help, is; Are you aware of this Pterosaur myth from The Battle of St. Fagans? Do you have any resources (Web Based) that I can peruse to shed some light on this extraordinary claim by Mr Taylor? I dearly hope you can help, if only to quell just one of the many distortions of science and history that this group perpetuate.
Thanks in advance,

This story doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to any Welsh or English folklore with which I'm familiar. If anything it sounds like bad science fiction/fantasy.

This is AIG! It is more than likely, an outright lie.
 
Dinosaurs aren't extinct say some scientists. Birds are dinosaurs. As for UFO'S being demonic activity I saw a video of a UFO comming out of a volcano in Mexico and UFO'S often appear as the result of tectonic activity so if they come out of the inside of the earth then afeter a fashion they come from hell.

Yes I'm facetious.

I could see it working as a Doctor Who episode.
In fact I may use the idea for our next game.
 
As a teenager, at school (a minor public school in the UK), our Reverend was peddling this gumpf during Christian Week - circa 1978.

If I remember rightly, it was 'UFOs - What on Earth is Happening?'.

He took the cash for it gladly to help his deemed helpless souls, whilst at the same time preying on vulnerable souls.

What a git! - and so on it goes... with these half wits!

Ahhh...the well known pterodactyl incident in the American Civial War. 200 years ago....

Oddly enough, there is a famous hoax photo of American Civil War soldiers posing with a dead pterodactyl. I wonder if Hovind is thinking* of a garbled version of this story?

*I use the word "thinking" in the loosest possible sense

Reenactors. They're too pudgy to be actual Civil War soldiers.

Also they're too uniform. They're all wearing the same outfits and the same gear, which is typical of reenactor 'authenticlones' but not of actual civil war soldiers.
