TYLER (KYTX) - One East Texas man believes he found fossils from Noah’s flood and a self-proclaimed fossil expert says he's right.

“From Noah’s flood to my front yard, how much better can it get,” Wayne Propst said.

Propst is stunned. He was helping his aunt lay some dirt outside her home in Tyler when he found this.

“What's really interesting to me is we're talking about the largest catastrophe known to man, the flood that engulfed the entire world,” Propst said.

He called up self-proclaimed fossil expert Joe Taylor who confirmed that what Propst found is in fact from the time of Noah’s ark and he says finding those fossils in Tyler is rare.

“I've never heard of anything about that from over there, I'm surprised he found it there,” Taylor said.

For days, Wayne and his aunt Sharon have been combing through this dirt with the help of some neighborhood kids.

“I just take my toothbrush and work on it until we get it,” Wayne’s aunt Sharon Givan said.

And send pictures off to Taylor.

“To think that like he says that we have something in our yard that dated back to when God destroyed the earth. I mean, how much better could anything be,” Givan said.

For a man who loved dinosaurs as a kid, Propst says this couldn't be any cooler.

“Now all I got to do is go in front of my aunt's house and pick up something from back when it all began. I don't even have to search anymore,” Propst said.

For the record, we have not independently verified if the rocks are in fact historic.

Well yeehaw and boy howdy. Darn near shit a brick when I read that there. In other news a Tyler, Texas woman named Maybelle Dawson has seen the face of Jesus in her cheerios this morning.

Yeah, Joe Taylor, self-proclaimed fossil expert can date a fossil over the phone even before the pictures are sent.

Stunning.

Joe Taylor is a nut job from Crosbyton texas who has a "bona fide" museum there that proves ancient men were giants with 6' femurs. Met the guy by accident when I was building an addition to the Crosbyton High School Gymnasium back in……sheesh…..01-02. They guy looks every bit as bat shit crazy as one has to be to proclaim some of the shit that falls out of his brain. In less that 20 seconds after the accidental meeting I already had been informed that god personally left evidence of the flood "over every square inch of earth" just waiting to be "stumbled upon".  Picture the image of the wild haired Doc from Back to the future..toss in a good dose of Ed Clampett intelligence and the stunning vernacular of gabby hayes and you have a spot on taylor….complete whack job

Dinosaurs? Doesn't he mean Jesus horses?

The one thing I know about the town of Tyler, Texas, is that they have the Tyler Rose Nursery right next to the interstate and that makes my inner Doctor Who fan giggle.

GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. AFK CHURCH

Stunning.

Common in Texas.  That is how the coroner determined the cause of death in the Scalia case ;-(

In Missouri, not far from St. Loser, you can find fossil coral in limestone beds hundreds of feet deep.

Yeah, Goddidit.

Ugh, why do we still have Texas?

Ugh, why do we still have Texas?

Because it's a damn good state! It has just about every kind of landscape you could imagine, vibrant urban centers, beautiful rural areas, an extremely diverse population, and amazing barbecue. Also a lot of ultra-conservative bigots and churches, but if you got rid of those, it would easily be the best state in the union.

Hey, we don't want to be a part of your "United States" anymore anyway, with your gay marriage, your President who's trying to take our guns away, and your unspanked children. #secede

Too hot for me.

Over the phone,  huh? This must be why nobody should ever go to the hospital. Instead just pick up the phone and have a doctor tell you just how to perform brain surgery. Xrays and MRI's? Too expensive.. Just dial 1-800-brainhacks..

Yeah, it's a bit like the argument I got into with my sister's friend when I made a comment that chiropractors were bunk. She told me I was dumb and uneducated and she knew far more than me because she had the science degrees and a doctorate to prove it. Her bachelors is in psychology and her doctorate is from a chiropractic school. Sorry, but a certified phrenology degree wouldn't make your claims about the legitimacy of phrenology valid, just like a degree from a Bible college doesn't make someone an archeologist, paleontologist, or anthropologist.

My sister-in-law has a masters, I forget what it is in, but one would think that even a masters in some mindless drivel would at least suggest a level of education slightly above the average high school graduate. Alas..she thinks a carpenter is a person who puts down carpet.
