Carl Edward Baugh (born October 21, 1936) is an American young earth creationist. Baugh has claimed to have discovered human footprints alongside dinosaur footprints near the Paluxy River in Texas. Baugh is a national television host, purporting to present science supporting creationism on the program Creation in the 21st Century on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. His claims have been called into question by the scientific community and other creationists. His educational credentials have also been called into question. He was also the president and a graduate of Pacific International University, an unaccredited university located in Springfield, Missouri.
Born in Kenedy, Texas, Baugh graduated in 1955 from Abilene High School in Abilene, Texas. He currently appears on Trinity Broadcasting Network program Creation in the 21st Century. Baugh was also the president and a graduate of the Pacific International University, which was a non-accredited organisation.
In 1984, Baugh started the Creation Evidence Museum in a double-wide trailer in Glen Rose, Texas, near Dinosaur Valley State Park, to promote creationism. The museum exhibits have been strongly criticized by scientists as incorrectly identified dinosaur prints, other fossils, or outright forgeries. In 2008, a descendant of a family that found many original Paluxy River dinosaur tracks in the 1930s claimed that her grandfather had faked many of them. Others, such as purported dinosaur claws, were identified by University of Texas at Austin paleontologist Wann Langston as crocodile teeth.
