Does anyone believe that the dinosaur could still have soft tissue and undigested food in its stomach after 77 million years?

Yes. It's rare but possible; soft tissue does fossilize under the right conditions. And that is what this is -- fossilized soft tissue. We have examples of such going back to the Vendian.Behold a whole new generation of gapers. I think they have read the story to mean the soft parts are still soft. Difficult to imagind such willful ignorance, but it seems the case.

Scientists would have to do alot of explaining before I'll buy into that age.

I agree. If it were something that made more sense like virgin birth,creating the world in 6 days,parting the Red Sea,etc,etc,etc it would be MUCH more believable.

But on FRee Republic, science is frequently trumped by religion

So did they recover DNA ?

Not sure, but if they did maybe they can link it to the OJ case and finally find out who killed Nicole Brown-Simpson.

I interpreted the article to mean that they have fossilized soft tissue. An exceedingly rare event.

Good catch. I missed it and usually finding stupid statements is my specialty. These guys are archaeologists aka glorified ditch digger and don't know beans about engineering technology.

It's just not a crevo thread without your insane ramblings...

First off, Darwinism is a science. Secondly, it has nothing to do with the Big Bang, electrons, neutrons or protons. Thirdly, they began organizing themselves into matter within moments of the Big Bang. If your statements above are indicative of your scientific knowledge then you are definitely out of your element on these threads.

Big bang science?

[AdA$tra]

And it's pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty!

Then again you might be WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

[staytrue]

parts randomly organized themselves into living matter just scant billions of years after the Big Bang.

What are that odds that human beings could progress from spears and swords two thousand years ago to hydrogen bombs, f16 aeroplanes, landing on the moon, computers, wireless telephones, etc. ?
