Fossilized Brain May Give Paleontologists Headache

Fossilized Brain May Give Paleontologists Headache

by Brian Thomas, M.S. *

Who has ever heard of a fossilized brain? Few would expect such a discovery, yet it looks like that's what researchers found inside a Stone Age skull from Norway. If so, it would confirm a published creation prediction and challenge many evolutionary timescales.

Ten archaeologists have been digging out fossilized human remains from a fjordside location called Brunstad, an area that encompasses two Stone Age human encampments.1 The scientists' findings include Norway's oldest unburned skeletal remains and a skull remnant with an unexpected attachment.

University of Oslo archaeologist and Stone Age expert Gaute Reitan told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation NRK, "Inside [the skull] is something rather grey and clay-like. You can just think for yourself what that may be."1

The team thinks they have uncovered brains inside the partially buried skull. If further research verifies this, how could brains last that long?

The Stone Age encampment where the brains were found is dated to 8,000 years ago. We’re supposed to ask “how could brains last that long?” about 8,000 years but be fine with the idea that they could last 4,500 years?

When will you realize that ICR’s purpose is not to explain but to deceive?

Nah, that is taught in basic statistics classes at every university.

And at the same time believe that the dating methods are all wrong.

>>The short answer is similarly to how dinosaur DNA survived in bugs found in amber...

Nope.

Don’t trust Hollywood movies to give you accurate, hard science.

Yeppers, secular scientists have always gotten it right; just look at their findings on global warming, homosexuallity, abortion, etc.

Exactly! Can you imagine the world we might be living in if secular scientists didn't always get it wrong? We might have ways to treat people for diabetes, or prevent them from getting polio. We might have managed to get off this rock and visit other planets. We might even have a way to discuss all these things without having to be in the same room.

Oh wait...

These guys are really embarrassing.

Yep.

I'm just glad they're not teaching science to my kids.

I know they are wrong as I haven’t had a date in ages...

Strange - you replied to someone else’s post.

I commented that the image wouldn’t be up for long.
I’m actually surprised that it’s still there...

Are they sure it wasn't a parrot?

It's impossible to take anything form ICR seriously. They are an embarrassment to religion.

Why? It’s simply depicting them as if they were neanderthals, like the one I posted above for Joe “the Brain” Biden.

Probably just as well. All it takes is for one person to come up with a bad date and it automatically ruins all the dates anyone else ever had or ever will have, so there's virtually no chance it would be any good if you got one.

Oh, I know. And if you’re of the “all one race” or “everyone should be treated equally” mindset, that should be no more offensive than Joe’s pic.

But you know that the world has a double standard.

Neanderthal was supposedly a different species from homo sapien.
