The proof is right there, for anyone willing to look at it: DNA surviving in "suspended animation" for hundreds of millions of years.
Add a little water, and the critters start swimming around again, having a jolly old time, reproducing, just as if they had never been "dead".
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....
"In fact no evos even made a claim like that until presented w/ 65 million year old t-rex soft tissues."
You truly don't understand how science works, do you?
Science cannot claim what it has no evidence to support.
When it has confirmed evidence, then a "claim" becomes a scientific fact -- such as basic evolution.
I understand how science works and then I see how evolutionary science continues to bend and break established scientific principles wherever & whenever necessary. And all the while keeping a straight face but the arguments are laughable and more and more folks are starting to see - the emperor has no clothes.
