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...

“That’s not a tricorder being thrust into your pocket, that’s the dead hand of The Temple of Darwinism taking up collections to fund the hunt for evolved life on Mars, Titan, etc.”

Great response... Grazi’!

Kick em’ while their down, kick em’ while their down. These fossil’s will change science forever if the extremist evolutionists will simply open their eyes and become scientists once again. Ancient earth dating techniques are history, good riddance!

Really? When's the press conference? I'm sure that the National Academy of Scientists are readying their apologies to the followers of George McCready Price.

Stupid modern geologists, flood geology was right all along!

Beat-talk?
That went out in the 50s.

Let us know when you pass the P.E. exam, ok?

You didn’t really get that did you?

Well, e/s, good night. I am sure that you think you are doing God’s work. At least I hope you aren’t being obtuse as some sort of adolescent temper tantrum.

I mean it when I ask or Christ’s blessing on you and yours. I pray He gives you vision and light, but absent that he shines His love.

We can bridge this chasm, my friend.

We may need to create a vocabulary that implies commonality and thus distill our differences to the outlying deltas.

Understanding science does not = liberalism nor atheism.

Not understanding science does not = stupidity

We can arrive at some commonalities.

Means there are many unique findings, besides archeology, (archeology agrees with the Bible on it’s historical accuracy 100% of the time) that support the beauty, consistency, and honesty of the Bible. Try reading “The Signature of God” by Grant Jeffries.

Explaining the purpose of baby teeth needs no invocation of divine will any more than all other features of life the universe and everything.

If the instructor said something about God as the explanation (i.e. “because God did it”) the student would learn nothing of value as it either already aligned with the students belief, or it contradicted it.

The real world utility of invoking divine providence as an explanation for physical phenomenon is negligible at best.

There is a reason why technological advancement is tied to science and not theology.

That sounds more along the lines of the politically correct liberal and/or atheist position than anything else to me.

The point flyng over your head, is as a Christrian it should be crystal clear that the purpose of baby teeth, particularly to a child, on a Christian level, isn't that divine will NEED be explained but that it is a wonderful opportunity nonetheless. It need not be invoked or REVOKED. For all this nonsense about scence being compatable with religion, you evos bend over backwards to destroy your very own posotion!

You are the only Christian I'm aware of that can not and will not say evolution is God's design, scientifically or spiritually or otherwise.

It does not follow logically that a Chrstian would find it important to tell a little girl her baby teeth weren't part of God's plan.

But what is plain to see what's more important to you, your spiritual faith vs. your scientific faith.

>>Pass that P.E. and we’ll have some common ground.

I can always count on you to make my points e.s.

May Christ bless you this and every night. My pity on you is pretty small compared to the majesty of God’s sorrow.

May God bless you and your family and friends. You are in my prayers nightly.

For dreamer, nothing makes sense in biology except in the light of godless materialism.

I am learning to enjoy it -- but I want observers to realize that many Conservatives DO understand science and find these fringies pretty funny.

If they ever have to vote on having this debate in their children's classroom, it's a good opportunity for them to get a chance to see what it's going to look like first.

If they keep digging they may eventually find a dinosaur with a pet collar and the tag with the owner’s name. Now that will really prove things.

Don’t worry – the hard working Creation Scientists like Brian Thomas are on the job.

I’m still baffled by the clam shells found in the Alps.

Plate tectonics. The Indian subcontinent has been subducting under the Asian continent for millions of years. This is the process that formed the Himalayan Mountains.

http://www.platetectonics.com/oceanfloors/himalayas.asp

Likewise the Alps arose as a result of the collision of the African and European tectonic plates.

Shells on mountains are easily explained by uplift of the land. Although this process is slow, it is observed happening today, and it accounts not only for the seashells on mountains but also for the other geological and paleontological features of those mountains. The sea once did cover the areas where the fossils are found, but they were not mountains at the time; they were shallow seas.

I wonder if Noah might have thrown them over board because they weren’t Kosher?

LOL! That all depends on which creationist you ask. Some say that all animals including Adam and Eve were strict vegans before the Fall. Some also claim that man were vegetarians after the Fall until God told Moses it was OK to eat meat from animals but only the “clean” ones, hence the prohibition on pork and shell fish and certain birds….and I think that includes spotted owls, so ardent creationists have a lot in common with folks from PETA when you think about it.

Personally I like clams, especially in a red sauce over some linguini. But I really like raw oysters. Slurp! Yum!

In a FR, that’s the idea.

I see malice and personal vendetta where it doesn't belong.

Quit trying to tell me what my religion is Gutless.

It is your most oft used tactic to insist that anyone who disagrees with you and your rediculous cosmological model is somehow not as Christian as you.

Piety is not measured on a sliding scale of how out of whack your cosmology is from reality.

Geocentric Christians are not more pious than Heliocentric Christians.

Young Earth Creationists are not more pious than Old Earth Creationists.

Creationists who believe in evolution of all species from those on Noah’s ark are not more pious than those who know evolution is not quite so powerful, but know that it had millions of years to act, not thousands.

Not making a universal discipline followed by people of any and all religions a sectarian enterprise is “politically correct liberal/atheist”?

What then do you think of the rights our founding fathers incorporated into our nation that established religious liberty? Is that similarly the “politically correct liberal/atheist” position.

What is most important to you, apparently, is that your weak faith be buttressed at every possible angle.

The purpose of science class is not to buttress the faith of those weak of spirit and weak of mind, it is to teach them science.

Interjecting God into the discourse is absolutely useless as it doesn't add anything of value to those who already know that God created everything, and it will only drive away those who wish to learn about science but do not share my belief in Jesus the Christ.

I taught Science to people of all religious faiths. I suppose according to you I should have show any non-Christians the door? Told them their theology was not compatible with learning, knowing, understanding and using science? That would be a lie.

I leave the lies and perjury to the Creationists.
