Scientists base their understanding of biology and the Earth on the theories of great age. When drilling for oil or looking for medicines, people hire scientists who understand that the Earth is not six thousand years old. It is not disingenuous to show that in the FREE MARKET OF IDEAS one has clearly surpassed the other.
Here is Dr. Schweitzer explaining that it was NOT blood cells, but blood cell structure. It was also not T-rex bone, but the mineralized fossil of a T-rex bone.

: It looks as if the T. rex may have nucleated red cells. Is this so?
Judith Chester, Santa Fe, New Mexico
A: Well, there are small, red structures within the vessels that look like nucleated red cells. So on the surface, this is a case of “if it looks like a duck….” But after 70 million years, just because something looks familiar doesn't mean that that is what it is. The fossil record can mimic many things, so without doing the chemistry to show that there are similarities to blood cells at the molecular level, I do not make any claims that they are cells.
However, we do know that, except for mammals, all living vertebrates (fish, frogs, birds, and reptiles) have nucleated red blood cells in circulation. Mammals are unique in having their blood cells “spit out” the nucleus before they go into circulation (unless there is a disease). So, because dinosaurs’ closest relatives are crocodiles and birds, it makes sense that their blood cells would have been nucleated.

Thought it was a rhetorical question. www.answersingenesis.com where they have creationist scientists with advanced science degrees, unlike me. Also they have something atheists don’t have: A healthy fear of God. Do you have an advanced science degree?

Total Red Herring: Whether the earth is 6 thousand or 5 billion years old, is a question for Origins Science and Creation Scientists, and has nothing to do with the Laboratory Science needed to do the jobs scientists are hired for.

Jesus said that WIDE and BROAD is the way to destruction, and many go in that way. That the “free market” of ideas would reflect this by pushing Evolution against the testimony of Genesis (the word of God) as I have already demonstrated, is no surprise.
>Dr. Schweitzers learned opinion on this nonsense about a

Nonsense eh? So where is your logical, fact filled, rigorous case for why I was mistaken in that three step case for why the Evolutionary narrative I posted before is opposed to the clear testimony of Genesis? Is that forthcoming anytime soon? I don’t care what you, the Pope, or a fleet of Laboratory Scientists think. I care what God thinks, and so far, I don’t see why I should believe anything else.

PBS. No fear of God. No reason they won’t tuck tail at any evidence for a young earth. Nevertheless let’s examine the question asked, and what was answered.
1) Dr. Schweitzer was asked if NUCLEATED red blood cells were discovered in the T.Rex specimen.
2) She says they look nucleated, answering the question.
3) She says they have NOT run chemical tests on them to know whether they are blood cells or not, thus not answering the exact question asked.
4) She’s guessing that they might be nucleated based on the fact that only mammals have nucleated cells.
The whole crux of the question asked whose answer you quoted is whether they were nucleated red blood cells, or not. She spent half her answer regarding whether they were nucleated or not, and the other half on whether they were blood cells or not. In any case, she’s holding off until chemical testing is done.
Here’s the original question to the answer you posted:
>Q: It looks as if the T. rex may have nucleated red cells.
>Is this so?
Have a great day. I hope your time in the Bible is fruitful and happy and edifying in the faith.
