Amazing what a well kept secret this T-Rex red-blood cell/soft-tissue discovery is, isn’t it? I wonder how many people in the whole world know about it. As one poster originally said, if such a find were genuine, it wd make for a Nobel Prize. Well, the find is genuine, but you don’t win that particular prize by cutting evolution off at the knees.
I agree. When I first read what the research for Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980 my jaw nearly hit the floor. Did you see that one? Apparently, the radio-isotope age-dating is not all that reliable as some of the fresh volcanic rocks were dated in a blind test at well over a million years.
Seems that one of our evo-minded geologists sets about the age dating process they must first apply some rather curious circular logic where the supposed age of the rock is indexed by the supposed age of the fossils found there and vice versa.

—I can’t tell if that comment was meant to be sarcastic or not.
It’s easily one of the most publicized and talked about science stories of the past 20 years.

—A Nobel prize in what?
