Showdown: Is Dino Soft Tissue Just Bacteria?

June 18, 2019 | David F. Coppedge

By dismissing dinosaur soft tissue as bacteria, Field Museum scientists may have given creationists a selling point.

Scientists at Chicago’s prestigious Field Museum of Paleontology have made a frontal assault on claims of original dinosaur proteins in dinosaur bones. The claims, made primarily by Mary Schweitzer at North Carolina State University, and by others, have invigorated young-earth creationists with alleged proof that the bones are only thousands of years old, not tens of millions. Are they wrong? Were they looking at bacterial biofilms masquerading as dinosaur proteins, blood vessels and blood cells?

Creationists are always looking for something anything to support their beliefs.

Humanists are always looking for something anything to support their beliefs.

Also spracht Zeranthustra.

This is basically ALL Crevo arguments. But at least people who understand TToE do not disparage the spirituality of the people who do not.

I am an unabashed Christian who understands TToE. Just because I understand the science does NOT give license to those who do not to suggest they know my theological beliefs. I love Jesus and accept Him as my (and all people's) Savior.

That "you are a secular humanist" nonsense is not only the lowest and lesser of all base insults but is just an easy "go-to" for people who do not understand science nor forensics.

I see you married the same form of leprosy I did. The only good antibiotic was a divorce. *rimshot*

‘God’s words, not mine. Human understanding just doesn’t cut it.’

the only reason you or anybody has any knowledge of divine word is due to humans saying so...

Actually, biology, physics, astrophysics, geology, archeology and many more like them support my beliefs. It’s the unicorn-fart crowd struggling to justify their swallowed-whole unexamined dogma who rely on desperate assertions to support their beliefs.

“Sealed inside for some 60 million years”

Assuming sealed inside is where your argument falls apart - ie right at the beginning.

Dino Soft Tissue?

They're making toilet paper out of bacteria now?

Sounds counterintuitive, but I guess it all ends up as bacteria anyway, so why not ...

But consider, t-rex joints with blood vessels were announced years ago by Jack Horner’s research team at the Museum of the Rockies in Montana. That’s the group that demonstrated that (theropod) dinosaurs are birds and vice versa. Got laughed at a lot but now is standard theory. oh and he, nor I are fundy-level devos either. Dino to tweety supports some form of change, oka evolution. ( lower case is explanation not upper case belief system)
