A salamander allegedly “18 million years old” is the latest fossil to produce astonishingly well preserved soft tissue. This time, it’s muscle tissue, and it is supposedly the most pristine example yet.

That's a keeper!
Oh, I remember now. You were the one misquoting Einstein.
I don't lie. Ergo. Your post must be a lie.
Your memory is as faulty as your understanding of special relativity or the Bible, ColdWater.
Please see the FR thread in question to refresh your memory, starting here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2274459/posts?q=1&;page=451
A faulty premise leads to all manner of lunacy, ColdWater.
The Bible says that God ‘spoke’. The Word of God says that. I merely relayed that to you.
Doesn't seem much different that than fossilized wood. Fossilized wood is more common because wood decays more slowly that animal tissue.
Upon reflection, I have considered that Darwin was a man much ravaged by the conflict between his culture and his conclusions; heir to his piety but victim of his pride.
Careful not to offend in his earlier works and defiant in his newfound convictions in his last published papers.
Perhaps only history and society are the true judges of the difference between heroes and pariahs.
With time, new shoes become old friends.
However, Ptolemy placed Venus’ deferent and epicycle entirely inside the sphere of the Sun (between the Sun and Mercury), but this was arbitrary; he could just as easily have swapped Venus and Mercury and put them on the other side of the Sun, or made any other arrangement of Venus and Mercury, as long as they were always near a line running from the Earth through the Sun, such as placing the center of the Venus epicycle near the Sun. In this case, if the Sun is the source of all the light, under the Ptolemaic system:
If Venus is between Earth and the Sun, the phase of Venus must always be crescent or all dark. If Venus is beyond the Sun, the phase of Venus must always be gibbous or full.
But Galileo saw Venus at first small and full, and later large and crescent.
This showed that with a Ptolemaic cosmology, the Venus epicycle can be neither completely inside nor completely outside of the orbit of the Sun. As a result, Ptolemaics abandoned the idea that the epicycle of Venus was completely inside the Sun, and later 17th century competition between astronomical cosmologies focused on variations of Tycho Brahe’s Tychonic system (in which the Earth was still at the center of the universe, and around it revolved the Sun, but all other planets revolved around the Sun in one massive set of epicycles), or variations on the Copernican system.

Nat, You have comprehension problems. The bones were 'fossilized' AND there was still soft tissue that was well preserved inside the fossil. When the minerals were removed, the soft tissue was left behind. Is that so difficult to understand?

When God created Man, did he cross his arms and blink (Jeannie style) or wiggle his nose (Samantha style).
