Search for Hidden Beasts
Posted by: Ken Gerhard on July 7th, 2013
Join me tonight @ 10pm EST/9pm CST as I kick off the new season of my cryptozoology podcast – Search for Hidden Beasts on liveparanormal.com. We will be taking it up a notch and frankly, featuring guests that you just can’t hear anywhere else. Case in point – this week my guest is researcher Paul Nation who, has led several expeditions to Papua New Guinea in search of living pterosaurs known as the Ropen! This guy is a real life Indiana Jones!

Wiki has categorized Paul’s work like this:
“As an attempt to discredit mainstream scientific views on universal common descent or the age of the Earth, several American creationists, including Carl Baugh, Paul Nation, Jonathan Whitcomb,[15] David Woetzel, and Garth Guessman have embarked on expeditions[16] in Papua New Guinea.”
Is this a fair assessment? It’s okay if it is, but if it’s inaccurate it probably should be cleared up. I found the statement on the Wiki article the Ropen.
