Any word on what causes the breakdown?
Or are we are the start of that hunt?

Interesting. On the other hand, in your body during life it is estimated that there are 10’s of thousands - possibly millions - occurrences of DNA damage per cell per day. Seriously - those are the estimates. Obviously most of these are repaired.

Dinosaurs, humans, and everything else, are less than 10,000 years old. If you don’t agree I pray for your soul.

Go study your Bible and get back to me when you understand it. All you are supposed to know is there.

In order to refute evolution, one might normally wish for a modern human fossil in a coal bed, or a modern human in the jaws of a T Rex. Those would be the sort of head-scratchers that would make people think twice about the standard storyline of evolution.
But now, if this research is accurate, if we found viable dinosaur DNA, I imagine that would have people scratching their head. Because it shouldn't be possible -- but what if we find it?

The Bible isn’t the literal truth, it tells truths.

I have a zero tolerance policy for relativism. Please, elaborate on the assumptions you use to determine which of God’s words are truth, and which are open to being part of an interpretation of truth.
Thanks.

Obviously most of these are repaired.
Is DNA damage (and lack of repair) what causes aging?

God didnt write the Bible, men did.Yeah.... but God wrote the Ten Commandments. It even says so in the Bible. And he had to do it twice, because we are such idiots.

God authored the Bible, man only wrote it down.
