it is nice that you at least acknowledge when you are wrong about DNA, and soft tissue being found.

What formal degree do you have? I have a Bachelors and Masters and 30+ post Masters hours.

You can believe what you want, but for me, I have to see the evidence, and have to be convinced the interpretation is right. In other words, I do not accept anything on faith.

Whether chemistry, biology or computer science, I am from Missouri — SHOW ME don’t ask me to believe on faith.

Exactly what made you suppose I was denying anything reported about various discoveries?
Of course I did point out, accurately, that much once claimed has since been debunked.

So, how old is the oldest DNA so far recovered?
Well, they ARE getting better & better at that all the time.
Still, there is a long history of wild claims made which later proved to be, well, exaggerated.
I am merely suggesting to take the most recent claims with a grain of salt, until they have been verified by others.

Point is: your discussion of Dino-blood & tissues is usually used to discredit radiometric-based estimates of ancient materials, and to argue that therefore the Earth must be much younger than science maintains.
Again, I’m only saying you are entitled to believe what ever you wish on this, provided you don’t call such beliefs “science”.
