Dinosaur DNA Found!
February 28, 2020 | David F. Coppedge
Deep-timers had a big enough problem with collagen and melanosomes. But DNA should be long gone. 75 million years? No way!
Could this be the last straw? For two decades now, especially since 2005, creationists have been challenging deep-timers (those who believe life is hundreds of millions of years old, and earth is 4.5 billion years old) with dinosaur soft tissue. Secular reports have been coming in regularly about soft tissue in fossils: feathers, melanosomes, collagen, various proteins, and materials in dinosaur bones that look like stretchy blood vessels and red blood cells. Evolutionists have been scrambling to find chemical mechanisms that might stabilize the molecules over deep time (see 18 Feb 2020 for latest attempt). They trot out their theories as ‘proof’ that soft tissues can survive tens of millions of years, never taking seriously the creationist critiques, which include the fact that evolutionists themselves had already predicted that soft tissues could not survive anywhere near that long.
But DNA? That’s impossible. Sorry, Jurassic Park fans; DNA degrades way too fast. Evolutionists know that.

Well, if light has been traveling at more than 186,000 miles per second for billions of years, you would expect it to get tired.
Yeah, sorry, that's dumb.
No, just kidding, actually a good question.
Homo sapiens is not your run-of-the-mill species. And our progenitors (Homo erectus et al.) were also quite unique - because they were tool-makers, and (at some point) could also articulate verbally (notice that I don't say "speak").
But in actuality, those "buffalo" certainly also did evolve. They cannot have been "identical," as you say. If the narrator of the documentary you were watching did claim "identical," then I would venture to guess that he was not a real natural scientist, or had been pursuaded by the t.v. makers to incorrectly state that assertion. (Why, indeed, bother to stress that the "buffalo were identical - what would be the point of that? The buffalo weren't the focus of the show, after all!).
Finally, for an anthropologist (and even for laypersons), any changes in anatomy of the buffalo aren't really of importance. Unless that's your specialization, you would tend to simply label them "buffalo" and describe them as "virtually unchanged" simply for the sake of convenience (just like t.v. reporters tend to call all firearms "assault weapons").

How many books do you wish to read?
There are lots of reasons for the above. Primarily, all organisms are not the same, so they are affected by their environment in different ways.
Another is that all organisms are changing all the time, but the changes may be internal and not external.
Essentially, some organisms are extremely well suited to survival without changing much externally; others find enviromental nitches they can exploit with some change, which leads to further change and very quick evolution.

Sorry. I am not old enough to remember that.
“why didn’t the buffalo?”
Why didn’t monkeys develop guns to protect themselves from tigers?
“Tyrannosaurs were more bird than reptile... that’s one hell of a big fearsome chicken, brother”
does that mean that Tyrannosaur tastes like chicken?
It just might...
That’s a veritable MOUNTAIN of PMS, brother...
“...does that mean that Tyrannosaur tastes like chicken?...”
With a little hot sauce, EVERYTHING tastes like chicken!!!!!!!!
No scientist should care or consider what a creationist might say in response to their findings - or what anyone might say.
Chickadees and Titmice are dinosaurs. They are the same phylum and clade as Tyrannosaurus rex.
:^) Thanks anyway.
The big T was a real mother clucker!
Real-life monsters, way back in the day...
