Doing science, as usual. Science doesn't mind correcting errors. With each error corrected, science becomes more accurate.

But those poor creationists, who focused on this as proof positive of a young earth are sobbing in their beers.

Huh? Both sides of this accept evolution as a fact. Evolution hasn't been the subject of any scientific controversy for well over a hundred years.

That's like pointing to bats hanging from a cave ceiling as "evidence" against gravity.

Let's see where the data takes us before anyone counts coup here.

Even Especially because 65,000,000 million years is an improbably long time for organic matter to survive this stuff is very interesting.

No matter where the data goes, our understanding of all of creation will be improved.

Perhaps that will mean fossilization and decay processes are far different that we thought.

Perhaps it will mean that everything we know about radioactive decay, geology, cosmology, anthropology, time, and biology needs major revision.

Perhaps our understanding of subterranean bacterial growth in incomplete, and we confused what something looks like for what something is.

Me? I'm hoping it is really bits 'o dinosaur.

That would be way kewl!
