Over the past decade or so, scientific research has revealed surprisingly young-looking features in fossils and other artifacts dated in the millions of years. The discoveries include blood vessels in T. rex[1] and hadrosaur fossil femurs,[2] mummified dinosaur stomach contents,[3] mummified dinosaur skin,[4] live cells from amber deposits,[5] fresh cellulose fibers in supposedly 250 million-year old salt deposits,[6] DNA molecules from Neanderthal skeletons,[7] and fossil feathers with clearly visible stripes.[8]
Now “150 million-year–old” squid ink, which was so fresh that scientists used it to write with, adds further doubt in deep time...

DINOSAUR hunters have found a fossilized squid so well preserved they used its 150 million-year-old ink to paint a picture.
Palaeontologists were stunned to find the soft tissue in the squid still remained - beating billion to one odds.
The boffins opened the sac and ground up the remaining black solution with an ammonia solution.
They then used the fossil as a template to paint the squid as it would have looked - writing its Latin name "Belemnotheutis antiquus" alongside it. ...
Boffins find ink in squid fossil
I wish the press hadn’t used “mummified” in relation to a few of these. It lets the confused be misled by the agenda-driven. Those were mummified then fossilized. That way the skin survived long enough to become fossilized instead of decomposing first.
A freeper suggested this film a few weeks ago, and so I got it from Netflix. WOW! I can't see how anyone can watch this film and still think it was all an accident. And the cinematography is awesome.

Hmmm. Stormer never puts forward arguments of his own that can be challenged, all the while calling his opposition liars. If you asked me, you are engaged in a bit of projection.
Please be more specific. What exactly are you claiming was fossilized instead of mummified?
Does Mr. Thomas have a real job somewhere that he is neglecting? This is more of a re-hash of several of his previous articles blended together with his usual misleading conclusions.
He works full time for ICR. Do you have any specific objections to his article that I can address?
I had to buy that one because Blockbuster wasn’t carrying it. Excellent movie! I’m really thinking of switching to Netflix because Blockbuster almost never has Creation/ID videos...even older titles. What has been your experience with Netflix???
I’m not seeing that here.
Okay. The statement he ends his short article with is as follows:
“It is only “absolutely incredible” if present geologic processes are presumed to have formed the rock record. If the various strata represent millions and millions of years, then “modern squid ink” in a fossil would be absolutely incredible. In contrast, according to the creation science model, most of the earth’s sedimentary strata were formed during the year-long great Flood. Thus, news of fresh “Jurassic” ink is perfectly consistent with a history based on the biblical account.”
If you follow out his reasoning then there would be NO fossils that lacked evidence of tissue. Since flood deposition provides nicely for fine siltation over an anoxic layer preventing the decay that results in denuded bones. His logical leaps are astronomical - especially in light of the source documents stating quite clearly that the “soft tissue” was preserved in the form of cast fossils (e.g. stone).
Still - my real criticism is that Thomas never seems to spend enough time on any topic to really give adequate insight into his reasoning.
That means alot coming from an evo-atheist pretending to be a Christian. Let me know if you ever change your mind and are willing to confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Until then, buzz-off imposter.
I am a Christian, and proud to profess it. You, however, won’t acknowledge the Christianity of mainstream denominations, including Episcopalians. It is you who are a liar, a fraud, and a cultist.
“What has been your experience with Netflix???”
Large library - but you have to be creative to find new releases showing up in the new release section. Many don’t show up there. I go on the web and find release dates and type the movie in on Netflix to locate it. Lots of old classic Disney which my 7-year old loves
Quality - 1 out of about every 20 DVDs had playing problems. DVD rot (look it up) is the most common reason, and 2 were broken.
Delivery - They are fast. I drop old ones off on Wed Morning, and new onse delivered in time for Friday movie night.
Another lie. I said there are Christians and non-Christians in every Christian denomination. But given the fact that you are an evo-atheist pretending to be a Christian, I expected as much. Let me know if you ever change your mind and are willing to confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Until then, buzz-off imposter.
You continue to refute the Christianity of practicing Catholics, Episcopalians, etc., and instead impose a self-satisfying condition of your own choice to ensure the status. You’re alone, pal. You’re a weak old man, weak in faith and simply looking to take someone else down with you. You’ve got a few sycophants here, but your numbers are dwindling in this country, thank God.
