Wouldn't presenting microscopic pics of tiny bone building cells and some stretchy organic particles that were discovered after scientists had chemically dissolved all minerals in the tyrannosaur bone fossil itself, without the proper size scale showing how incredibly small the items in the pics really are, also be considered fraud?

Especially if the person kept calling the organic material "meat", telling folks it was comparable to the steak meat or chops at the supermarket.

My fingernails are organic but I would hardly call them meat.

ScienceDaily here is a link that explains the "fresh meat found in a tyrannosaur femur" hoax, better than I ever could.

It explains that paleontologists did a chemical treatment on it and were surprised it didn't just dissolve the whole fragment. There are pics (black & white) with the size scale.

All those teensy tiny structures, cell and blood vessel patterns in that dino bone fragment are very similar to bone and blood cell structures found in modern day ostrich bones; Dr. Mary Schweitzer compared the two.

Guess the creationists/Iders forgot to mention that little fact in this story, as it supports the theory that some birds evolved from dinosaurs.

To me, one of the biggest flaws in your logic is your finding that the similarity in structure to an ostrich bone is proof that it is evolved from one. It could also be proof that it wasn’t properly identified in the first place.

Looking more closely at the genetic code is the core issue... people want to defend evolution to the exclusion of common sense, even if all you do is strip everything down to basic DNA.

I suppose that you consider it to be more intelligent to find that you have evolved from primordial goo to have the distinct DNA that you do, and that every living creature that exists with its own distinct DNA pattern evolved from that same primordial goo.

Yes, and you find the flawed findings of Lucy’s fossils to be your smoking gun. Where are the rest? Surely with the billions of steps between primordial goo and every other living creature, the intermediary creatures - all of them - must be somewhere.

And if Darwin, who actually already believed in evolution before he went to the Galapagos Islands, truly discovered a principle upon which to base science for all eternity, why didn’t Robert FitzRoy, who was examining the exact same ecological evidence at the same time, arrive at the same conclusions?

Evolutionists refuse to consider that their methods of dating could be wrong, despite evidence to the contrary. They refuse to understand that you can’t make something out of nothing, although quantum physics can lead them there.

Yes, we do have a Divine Creator, but no, we’ve never been an accident.
