So, even when faced with olfactory evidence that these fossils aren't 68 million years old, the 'scientific' paradigm must be protected at all costs. What exactly is the misrepresentation?

The famed ex-atheist Anthony Flew did say that we should follow where the evidence takes you. Interestingly enough I saw this article in a secular science magazine “Discovery.” It seems that many evolutionists are willing to concede the fact that it is actual dinosaur tissue, now they’re just disputing fossilization, etc. What I find most telling about this discovery is the knee-jerk rejection of it by some people. This should be an exciting mystery. Are there certain invironmental conditions that will allow soft tissue to survive for millions of years? Is there something that looks this much like soft tissue, but isn’t? Is science totally in error about its perception of age? I have seen a heck of a lot of evidence for an old earth. The best evidence I have found involves hunting down details on suggestions made by the YEC community. I would be incredibly shocked to discover that dinosaurs really lived in the time of man. However, this evidence should excite the scientific community and prod them to ask more questions. I’d really want to see other plaeontologists get similar samples from an unearthed location at the same site taking extraordinary precautions to ensure that it wasn’t contaminated during or after removal then isolate at least some fragmentary DNA from the samples and have multiple labs replicate the results. From what I read there was nowhere near good enough handling of the samples to insure no contamination because no one expected any need for sterile handling. Hence, at this point in time, call me a The-Jury-is-Out-Earther.

Yes, science is totally in error about its perception of old age. Old age is an ancient pagan idea carried over into modern times.

You haven't seen *any* evidence for old-age. You have seen plenty of *interpretations* of evidence as supporting an old age.

There is plenty of pictoral evidence that dinosaurs and man co-existed. Try a google search.

Old-age must be preserved at all costs because the only alternative is.... Biblical accuracy and that threatens our current scientfic priesthood.

Exactly what is the misrepresentation?
