"What I do not understand is how they could find proteins that old. Radioactive decay of Carbon would indicate there is no Carbon left."

Radiometric carbon dating always indicates more carbon on allegedly old fossils than should be there. Evolutionists claim that the carbon detected is simply background contamination from ground water. At least some creationists like me, counter with, "if groundwater can contaiminate the fossil with carbon, can't it just as easily wash carbon out of a fossil?"

It’s humorous that you’re talking about carbon dating in the context of this article, yet no carbon dating was used, no carbon dating was claimed. Nobody uses carbon dating on fossils this old since it’s only accurate out to 45,000 years, 60,000 tops.
