“...So your basic assumption — that organic material must always fossilize or quickly decompose — is, well, unwarranted....”

where did I say this??? “always” “quickly”?

Bias and assumptions.
we all make them.
However, again 1000 years+ is a long time.
It doesn’t take long for fossilization.
The longer it did take (in a given case) the less likely soft tissue will remain. (bio-degradation).

The chances there is more “soft tissue” within most fossils can indeed exist. But who is going to test to see?

Although evolutionist will poo poo the implications, soft tissue argues a more “recent” event. (supports that hypothesis better). It is Bias to assumme a fossil is millions and hundreds of millions of yrs old.

evoulutionist scientist have been known to alter, fabricate, or destroy evidence that contradicts their beliefs. (notice I did not say all)

Bias and assumptions..."

But your argument -- that soft dino-tissue "proves" a young-earth -- can only possibly be valid if all organic tissues fossilize or quickly decompose.
Since that is not the case, your argument is necessarily, well, unwarranted, FRiend.

How did Sherlock Holmes say it?

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Minute amounts of some types of soft organic tissues surviving under certain circumstances for millions of years has not been, and cannot be, eliminated as "impossible."

Therefore, your conclusions are, well, unwarranted.

kimtom: "It is Bias to assumme a fossil is millions and hundreds of millions of yrs old."

No fossils are "assumed" to be any age until their age is scientifically established by examining their geological strata, by comparing them to other known fossils, and/or by radio-metric dating techniques.

The basic idea of science is: you start with evidence and work up from there to form hypotheses which can be tested and confirmed into theories.
Because humans are imperfect and sinful (surprise! the Bible is right about that), we sometimes do the wrong thing.
But science tries to prevent wrong ideas from being accepted by requiring especially controversial findings to be repeated and confirmed.

As of today there are no repeated & confirmed findings to justify a "young earth" hypothesis.
