Hadrosaur Soft Tissues Another Blow to Long-Ages Myth (first T. rex, then another T. rex, now this!)

Hadrosaur Soft Tissues Another Blow to Long-Ages Myth

by Brian Thomas, M.S.*

Recently-discovered dinosaur soft tissues, and even blood cells, represent some of the biggest hurdles for long-age evolutionary belief. Soft tissue was found in the femur of a large Tyrannosaurus rex about a decade ago, and more was discovered in another T. rex a few years later. And recently, soft tissues with proteins were found in a hadrosaur from Montana...

I know under very unusual circumstances soft tissue can fossilize, but in these cases I think it is only on gross examination and that microscopically it breaks down.

The simplest explanation for the presence of blood vessels and their proteins in these bones is that the dinosaurs were recently and rapidly inundated and preserved, just as one would expect to observe in a world that began thousands rather than millions of years ago.

How does the age of the tissue indicate the age of the planet?

Interesting.

One of the points often raised by doubters of Evolution is the circular logic that can be used in dating:

We know T. Rex is 100 million years old, because we find the fossils in rocks which are 100 million years old.
And we know these rocks are 100 million years old, because they contain T. Rex fossils.

To a certain extent, if the animal is found not to be quite so old, then it becomes difficult to make the case that the rocks are so very old.

So basically it's assumed that if it's possible to use circular logic, that's what's being used?

To a certain extent, if the animal is found not to be quite so old, then it becomes difficult to make the case that the rocks are so very old.

That seems to rely on an assumption that the rocks in question are the oldest rocks there are.

Maybe the T. Rex just had very sharp claws and was able to dig into the rock, and then meticulous replace the rock back into place in such a way as to give the appearance of the rock never having been disturbed?

Either way, we KNOW that the T. Rex is billions and billions of years old, since that's what Richard Dawkins said.

"Some have suggested that the soft tissues were made by bacteria, though this does not fit the observed data"

That's really grasping at straws too, since the alleged bacteria would need a source of nourishment to be there in such large numbers as to appear as dyno tissue.

Allow me to beat them to the punch...

I’ve done some thinking over the past few minutes... the conclusion I’ve come to is that my point of view has been wrong all this time. Even though I didn’t bother to read the post, I feel that you should know all of the references are blatantly incorrect and there is no truth in the claim that this has any direct or indirect impact on the true, factual, indisputable theory (in the scientific sense) of evolution. Anyone who believes this post does anything more than PROVE beyond the shadow of a doubt the earth is trillions of eons old, is a moronic, creationist, nincompoop without a shred of original thought.

SHAME ON YOU, MR. GODGUNSGUTS FOR SPREADING YOUR EVIL PROPOGANDA... SHHAAAMMEE ON YOU!!!!!!

I feel better now.

Three dinos later they are actually starting to face the facts. It would appear that soft-tissue in dinos is fixing to be a regular facet of the fossil record.

Obviously the formation cannot be older than the critter that's buried under it.

As you can see, the evos are in panic-overdrive here, throwing their illogical assertions left and right to cloud the issue.

I am sure all the Evos thank you for verbalizing their thought process and faith commitments for them. That way they can keep pouring milk over the darwin idols without interruption!

I don't know, I think my "rock clawing and meticulous replacement" theory has some merit.

Certainly no surprise to me, after the many mammoths that I have seen with skin and connective tissue remaining on parts of their legs.
