“It is hard enough to understand how a bone cell can exist like that for thousands of years. The idea that it has lasted for 65 million years simply boggles the mind.”

That statement is an example of scientific ignorance. Original cellular matter can be preserved almost indefinitely within an environment conducive to the inhibition of hydrolysis, biological consumption, and other destructivee processees. Although the opportunities for such preservation may be relatively rare, there is no physical reason why such preservation cannot occur when the environmental conditions are suitable.

from the theological point of view it can be observed such long preservation timees are possible due to the way uin which the Creator designed everything to operate.

I don’t think anyone said it was impossible. The extraordinary unlikelihood (is that a word?) of such a necessary set of circumstances does, indeed, boggle the mind; mine anyway.

Un-scientific ignorance is the best description of you that we have.
