Re: Am I missing something ?
Yes, but take it in context. Do you seriously think that God is talking about a penis like a cedar tree?
Absolutely. If you want to impress human males, talk about a huge penis. Well known fact.

Re: Am I missing something ?
The Paluxy tracks were hoaxes.
A very few of the Paluxy tracks are hoaxes. Of course, none of them are human tracks.

amazing what happens when you do some actual digging, here have another link
You didn't dig far enough. Here's a few for you:
From Acts and Facts Magazine | The Institute for Creation Research:
"In view of these developments, none of the four trails at the Taylor site can today be regarded as unquestionably of human origin. The Taylor Trail appears, obviously, dinosaurian, as do two prints thought to be in the Turnage Trail. The Giant Trail has what appears to be dinosaur prints leading toward it, and some of the Ryals tracks seem to be developing claw features, also. ... The various controversial prints labeled as human by Carl Baugh in recent years are of uncertain origin, and at best are not comparable in quality to prints at the sites discussed above, thereby providing no support for the original position."
From Missing Link | Answers in Genesis "
"Those researchers who were previously enthusiastic about the Paluxy tracks and have now withdrawn their unqualified support include such creationist notables as John Morris (who even wrote a book about them, but had the courage to publicly withdraw) and Paul Taylor (head of Films for Christ, which made the famous film Footprints in Stone). It cannot be said of either of these people that they did not personally study the trails in great depth, nor that they had a motive for not wanting them to be human tracksquite the opposite. Taylor had the courage to withdraw his popular film because he had seen enough evidence, even in the famous ‘Taylor trail’, to have to say that one should not use them anymore. I.e. he went from open enthusiasm to extreme caution, which is our view. It seems some quarters in creationism are stuck in somewhat of a time warp in this matter."
And, of course, the ultimate source of Paluxy information, http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy.html:
"For many years claims were made by strict creationists that human footprints or "giant man tracks" occur alongside dinosaur tracks in the limestone beds of the Paluxy River, near Glen Rose Texas. ...However, the "man track" claims have not stood up to close scientific scrutiny, and have been abandoned even by most creationists. "
