Why not? Carbon-carbon bonds are strong. Some amino acids are very stable, and even of “mineral origin”. Why can’t a polymer of amino-acids survive hermetically sealed inside of rock? What qualifies you to eliminate the possibility that any protein can survive for this long? What qualifies you to call people stupid?
“What qualifies you to eliminate the possibility that any protein can survive for this long? What qualifies you to call people stupid?”
This seems to happen, sadly, too frequently. Someone declares an absolute, and then declares anyone who says anything against said absolute, is stupid. It reminds me of those who’s entire scientific understanding is based on the bible. With little or no room for anything removed from that. Now, that is stupid in my book. The poster is not qualified to do it, they just have the ability to do it.
First off, Race's comment was beyond the pale and my response has nothing to do with his posts.
This bone has measurable/detectable amounts of C-14 in it. We are told that the C-14 is there from water contamination and not because it was there when the dino was alive. Therefore, if ground water contamination is the source for C-14, the fossils themselves cannot therefore be considered hermetically sealed.
