The scientists (Schweitzer) who is doing this is not a young Earth creationist and thinks the fossilization, while amazingly well preserved in microstructure of soft tissue, is consistent with it being millions of years old.
As I stated, they found remains of the STRUCTURE of blood cells; pretty amazing; but they did not find “T-rex bones with blood cells still in them”; they found a fossilized remains of a T-rex bone (a fossil is made up of mineral not bone) that had the STRUCTURE of blood cells preserved within it (as well as some protein sequences (collagen)still intact).
If the evidence from independent lines of investigation all derived young ages for the Earth I would be accepting of it. But it does not. Geology, Paleontology, Archeology, Astronomy, and Biology (among many other scientific disciplines) all give evidence of a VERY OLD Earth and Universe.
I believe the Bible is the word of God. As does the Pope. We both accept the evidence for the theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation. If you are handing out blanket condemnations to Hell based upon acceptance of evolution, then I am in good company.
I ask forgiveness for my sins in the name of Jesus the Christ, THAT is the criteria for salvation given in the Bible; nothing about how long you think it took and what processes were used when God created the Universe.
You cannot rely upon evolutionist sources. They misrepresent science out of necessity.
Could you point me to perhaps a debate between a young earth creationist and an evolutionist, where the evolution wins handily in the name of “reason” or “logic” or “science”?

Money quote from the first link I gave you is, “The acid-treated T. rex bone fragment, however, produced a flexible and elastic structure similar to what you would get from a fresh bone.” Sound like much more than “some protein sequences.”

Here’s my proof for a young earth and a literal 6 days of creation. I don’t need to be a scientist to do this:
1) The Bible is the Word of God, please see http://www.direct.ca/trinity/y3nf.html for the evidence.
2) The Genesis narrative contradicts the evolution narrative.
Bible: God is the creator of all things. (Genesis 1)
Evolution: Natural chance processes can account for the existence of all things.
Bible: World created as is in six literal days. (Genesis 1)
Evolution: World evolved over billions of years.
Bible: Creation is completed. (Genesis 2:3)
Evolution: Creative processes continuing.
Bible: Oceans before land. (Genesis 1:2)
Evolution: Land before oceans.
Bible: First life on land. (Genesis 1:11)
Evolution: Life began in the oceans.
Bible: First life was land plants. (Genesis 1:11)
Evolution: Marine organisms evolved first.
Bible: Earth before sun and stars. (Genesis 1:14-19)
Evolution: Sun and stars before earth.
Bible: Fruit trees before fish. (Genesis 1:11,20,21)
Evolution: Fish before fruit trees.
Bible: All stars made on fourth day. (Genesis 1:16)
Evolution: Stars evolved at various times.
Bible: Birds and fish created on the fifth day. (Genesis 1:20-21)
Evolution: Fish evolved hundreds of millions of years before birds.
Bible: Birds before insects. (Genesis 1:20-31, Leviticus 11)
Evolution: Insects before birds.
Bible: Whales before reptiles. (Genesis 1:20-31)
Evolution: Reptiles before whales.
Bible: Birds before reptiles. (Genesis 1:20-31)
Evolution: Reptiles before birds.
Bible: Light before the sun. (Genesis 1:3-9)
Evolution: Sun before any light.
Bible: Plants before the sun. (Genesis 1:11-19)
Evolution: Sun before any plants.
Bible: Abundance and variety of marine life all at once. (Genesis 1:20)
Evolution: Marine life gradually developed from a primitive organic soup.
Bible: Man’s body from the dust of the earth. (Genesis 2:7)
Evolution: Man and monkey have a common ancestor.
Bible: Man exercised dominion over all organisms. (Genesis 1:28)
Evolution: Many organisms extinct before man evolved.
Bible: Man originally a vegetarian. (Genesis 1:29)
Evolution: Man originally a meat-eater.
Bible: Fixed and distinct kinds of life (Genesis 1:11,12,21,24,25)
Evolution: All life is in a continual state of change.
Bible: Death caused by Eve and Adam eating the forbidden fruit. (Genesis 2:17)
Evolution: Death existed long before the evolution of man.
3) Therefore, the evolutionary narrative is fundamentally opposed to the Genesis narrative. Whether it took billions of years or 6 days, is just one of many, many differences. It is completely different.
4) I believe God, and not man per Romans 3:4
>I ask forgiveness for my sins in the name of Jesus the
>Christ, THAT is the criteria for salvation given in the
>Bible; nothing about how long you think it took and what
>processes were used when God created the Universe.
May you be forgiven.
May I be forgiven.
May we rejoice together in the Kingdom of the Father.
I encourage you humble yourself before Scripture, and believe it, and not your intellect, and not the Pope.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5
Do you accept Global Warming as true? Many of the evolutionists think it is the truth. If so, have you read Jeremiah 5:22?
