I favor a young earth but fear I would not be allowed to live there.

This is all just part of a creationist conspiracy.

Male and female human DNA has been sequenced and there were estimates of the age of the species. Why not take live squid DNA and DNA form the old squid and determine the age?

The field of biology has provided much support for a recent creation, and physical evidence of very young-looking biological materials from supposedly ancient fossils continues to accrue from around the world, and from various depths under the earth

When an article starts with utter nonsense, then one can conclude that it isn't worth reading beyond the first sentence, and in fact one regrets wasting the time to do that.

I don't know why the squid ink is so shocking. Elizibeth Philpot wrote of taking sepia from a fossil cuttlefish collected by Mary Anning and doing illustrations - about 1820! I guess someone needs to do a tad more research.

And the quote "It is difficult to imagine how you can have something as soft and sloppy as an ink sac…inside a rock that is 150 million years old" is completely disingenuous. The original reads, "It is difficult to imagine how you can have something as soft and sloppy as an ink sac fossilised in three dimensions, still black, and inside a rock that is 150 million years old."

Just another example of lying for god.

Another instance of making it up as they go. The field of biology has provided zero support for a recent creation.

Ah yes.....the ole "intact ink sack" twist.

OYG....some animals haven't evolved much....that must mean that evolution doesn't exist.......such great intellect needed for sucha sound conclusion.

OYG...old DNA FRAGMENT sequences!!! That means Man walked the Earth with 100+ species of large meat eating dinosaurs 4,400 years ago.

OYG....DNA sequences from a FROZEN guy!!! Proof positive....Man walked the Earth with T. rex!!!

OYG....bacteria are found in the most intolerant of places!!!

False conclusion, Dr.
