Go ahead, I guess. Believe that planet Earth has only been in existance 6,000 yrs or so.

Looks to me that the very article you cite states the rocks that dino was taken from were 80 mil yrs old. And it wasn't "soft" tissue, it was basically some extracted proteins.

Our present living world is around 6K years of age. The planet viewed as a collection of rocks is older than that, but not tens of millions or billions of years old. Robert Bass once redid Lord Kelvin's heat equations for the planet and included a maximal figure for radioactive elements, and got an upper bound for age of around 200M years.
