Paleontologist Mary Schweitzers discoveries of soft blood vessels, proteins, various blood cells, and even DNA inside fossilized dinosaur bones have been met with extreme skepticism from the scientific community. It has been well established that such biological structures and molecules should not last beyond a few tens of thousands of years, and could not possibly survive millions of years. So why are they there?
Scientists have made multiple attempts to debunk Schweitzers findings...

LIES!!! Creationists have made multiple attempts to debunk Schweitzer's findings, which are consistent with exceptionally well preserved demineralized interior of fossils that are, ACCORDING TO Schweitzer, millions of years old.
Just got back from Alaska. Absolutely took my breath away. (More on that later).
In the meantime...Ping!
So you liked my state huh? We are trying to prevent it from becoming a liberal wasteland.
Touchy, touchy, Dreamer. I realize that it upsets you a great deal when the physical evidence validates the veracity of the Bible, but do try to keep your composure my dear boy.

Welcome back!
Speaking of liberal, Alaska was crawling with libs in every city and town I visited. All I can think of is the tourist, artsy-fartsy areas are where all the libs live. I saw anti-Palin, anti-War, pro-Obama stickers and t-shirts proudly displayed just about everywhere I went. What the heck is up with the port areas of Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, ect???
Schwietzer’s findings on the age and preservation of these demineralized interiors of fossils have only been challenged by creationists.
He’s BACK~!

Tis True. I saw the creation museum photo of the dinosaur wearing a saddle.
Don’t forget to mention that that particular part of the museum was an area set up for picture-taking.

Genesis 1:24-27.
“However, these dinosaur blood cells and vessels fit perfectly into the biblical history of the world, which indicates that man and dinosaurs both were created on the same day in the relatively recent past.3”
The bible “indicates”? Sounds like waffling to me.
Thanks, Fichori. It’s nice to be back...sort of. After all, I am returning from the “last frontier” :o) Boy was it beautiful up there!!! Chartered a floatplane my last day...Oh my goodness, what IMMENSE beauty!!!
You saw Sarah? How neat is that. ;-)

Of course they did--in the same way science always proceeds: somebody publishes their findings, and other scientists scour it for possible errors. That's why it's so powerful.
Or perhaps there is an entirely unknown natural process that could have preserved soft tissue for millions of years. But this is a special pleading argument, one with strong laboratory evidence against it
Why does it have to be "unknown," and what laboratory evidence is there against the ability of natural processes to preserve soft tissue that long? Anyway, I thought creationists didn't believe you could study such long-term processes in the lab.
It has been well established that such biological structures and molecules should not last beyond a few tens of thousands of years,
Maybe they didn’t.
