The science of tissue decay does not permit these long ages,

That's a laugher. Tissue decay is not governed by the science or scientists who study it.

That's like saying "The Earth continues to revolve but the moon does not permit that, calling in to question Johannes Kepler's body of work."

A better constructed phrase would have been, "These extremely long ages of tissue decay do not fit with previous observations of the process, calling in to question..."
