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.

Well then please tell us your natural explanation for where life came from? Did it really all happen by chance?! /s

LOL
Nothing really to see here folks; unless watching a guy lie repeatedly is of interest.
Read the orignal article:
http://www.physorg.com/news176660912.html
rather than the mendacious propaganda posted by GGG and you´ll see that the scientists found extraordinarily well preserved, *fossilized* soft tissue elements of the Salamander rather than the more commonly found bone or dental elements.
“Have you been to this website before? I would venture to guess that 99% of Freepers are creationists.”
No way!
Thanks...
How cool.

Maybe GGG doesn't think he will get his ass handed to him again.....LOL
It’s not a different story on the same subject. It’s the same silly salamander story. (note the alliteration) Did I say anything about your penguin story? Apparently you simply weren’t satisfied with the response from the first one, so you posted it again from a different “source”. As far as exposing freepers to your posts, I’m a fan of the Friday Silliness threads, so why not yours? I was just hoping for some originality instead of clogging up the site with re-posts.
I am a creationist. God created the heavens and the Earth. But I do not believe that it was only six thousand, or sixty thousand, or six hundred thousand years ago.
A day with God is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day (at the time that was written most folks had no concept of millions, let alone billions). What is a few billions of years to The Eternal?
When we finally meet Him, He'll clarify it all for us. What is important right now is that we accept the sacrifice of His only begotten Son as our salvation.
Or how about this from Schweitzer re: T. rex:
“ In modern bone, removing the minerals leaves supple, soft organic materials that are much easier to work with in a lab. In contrast, fossilized bone is believed to be completely mineralized, meaning no organics are present. Attempting to dissolve the minerals from a piece of fossilized bone, so the theory goes, would merely dissolve the entire fossil. But the team was surprised by what actually happened when they removed the minerals from the T. rex femur fragment. The removal process left behind stretchy bone matrix material that, when examined microscopically, seemed to show blood vessels, osteocytes, or bone building cells, and other recognizable organic features.”
Hah!
Wishful thinking on your part.
The real question. When God created Man, did he cross his arms and blink (Jeannie style) or wiggle his nose (Samantha style).
You might also be interested in reply #30. All the best—GGG
Also see #30...that should really make you mad, as I keep posting it over and over and over to incredulous evos.
I'll let HT verify it.............
It was only a matter of time ;o)
EXCELLENT POINT, JAIME!
“Wrong again, Natufian. The authors of the paper say that the “the muscle tissue is organically preserved in three dimensions, with circulatory vessels infilled with blood.””
Oh, come off it. Your wilful misrepresentations would be irritating if they weren´t so laughable. I´m sure that you´re aware that lying to further the cause is only valid in Islam.
Here is an abstract from the actual paper presented by the scientists who did this research on the fossolized salamander:
“The very labile (decay-prone), non-biomineralized, tissues of organisms are rarely fossilized. Occurrences thereof are invaluable supplements to a body fossil record dominated by biomineralized tissues, which alone are extremely unrepresentative of diversity in modern and ancient ecosystems. Fossil examples of extremely labile tissues (e.g. muscle) that exhibit a high degree of morphological fidelity are almost invariably replicated by inorganic compounds such as calcium phosphate. There is no consensus as to whether such tissues can be preserved with similar morphological fidelity as organic remains, except when enclosed inside amber. Here, we report fossilized musculature from an approximately 18 Myr old salamander from lacustrine sediments of Ribesalbes, Spain. The muscle is preserved organically, in three dimensions, and with the highest fidelity of morphological preservation yet documented from the fossil record. Preserved ultrastructural details include myofilaments, endomysium, layering within the sarcolemma, and endomysial circulatory vessels infilled with blood. Slight differences between the fossil tissues and their counterparts in extant amphibians reflect limited degradation during fossilization. Our results provide unequivocal evidence that high-fidelity organic preservation of extremely labile tissues is not only feasible, but likely to be common. This is supported by the discovery of similarly preserved tissues in the Eocene Grube Messel biota.”
