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...

Morning and evening for three days without a Sun?

Poetic language, not literal.

“As a thousand years” is not exactly one thousand years, but I see how dogmatic literalism could make you think I was taking that as literal.

Do you not recognize parable when you see it? Jesus said he would teach using parable.

For example, the expression “forty days and nights” is a common regional expression meaning a long time, much like “a month of Sundays” in the South. Luckily the Bible did not use that phrase, or we would be treated to Creationists explaining how God changed time to make a literal “month of Sundays”.

And do you take God at his word when the Bible says that the foundation of the Earth does not move?

Some here seem to think this means the Earth doesn’t move. Are you also of this opinion, or are you not taking God at his word?

Do Mars and Jupiter orbit the sun or the Earth?

Are evos so desperate to to get people to believe the TOE that they will resort to making people disbelieve creation by presenting it as whacked out fringe movement? Is the ToE so weak in what it has to support it that that is evos only option?


Well that and not allowing any dissent whatsoever, then drone on about the complete joke of “peer review” or ‘science is compatable with religion’ after doing everything and anything to ensure this isn’t so.

Unable to tolerate the elementary truth of evolution is theory not fact stickers on textbooks, etc. etc. etc.

" God said that a day to him is as a thousand years and a thousand years a day."

Just take a statement out of context, and use it anywhere you wish.

Peter made that statement in explanation of the millenial kingdom, AKA "The Day of The Lord." - It had absolutely nothing to do with any other day or days mentioned anywhere else in the Bible.

If you don't know that, then you are completely Bible-illiterate. (its ok, all evos just rewrite any part of the Bible as fits their particular apostate theory.)

No, I already know Hitchhiker’s Guide pretty well.

Yabba Dabba Doo Creationism!

Hey, that's awfully cute...but it doesn't explain why we're finding soft tissues intact inside fossils that are tens of millions of years old. I'll look downthread and see if you ever got around to offering one.

Hey simpleton, there are facts that are known by every navigator, astronomer, or surveyor, that you apparently cannot accept.

The ptolemaic model is what is used for all astronomic position computations. You can go to the NOAA website and get up to date, or you can continue to look like a fool.

The statement in context is explaining the forbearance of God, why he does not act when we think he should act to bring an end to evil.

It has everything to do with understanding that God is not on our scale of being and does not see things in the small and limited way that we see them.

Especially the small limited and ridiculous way that you see them.

How many horse power can you get from a coordinate system? How does a coordinate system drag the Sun around the Earth?

am not the one trying to say who is a Christian and who is just “claiming” to be a Christian, that would be YOU. The direct implication being that the majority of Christian denominations that have no problem with the findings of science are somehow less Christian or a different Christian than you.

Way to point out just what a whacked out fringe movement Creationism is; by saying anyone who accepts science is only “claiming” to be Christian.


Apparently, in your world, a biologist, to be a biologist has to strictly follow the dogma, not the science, but the godless ideology called science, and either he’s an evo or a fringe kook. End of story, no dissent allowed. Ever.

But when it comes to defining a Christian....ehhhh, well, not so much.

No need to follow any Christian instruction in the Bible, just make whatever up as you go along, and reject what you don’t like, easy breezy.

To say you’re incoherent and inconsistent would be putting it mild.

BTW, can you present any serious critical peer review of evolution? Critical being the operative word.

The tissue wasn't found soft. It was found fossilized.

Only after being treated with chemicals to leach out the minerals did it become “soft”.

So why do we find ACTUAL soft tissues and ACTUAL bones of more modern species, but only fossilized and mineralized dinosaur bones, if in fact they all lived contemporaneously?

Depends on your frame of reference.

If you are doing computations for vectors relative to a point of reference on Earth, using the ptolemaic method will greatly shorten your calcs.

Science is not a godless ideology. It is a methodology for finding out information about the PHYSICAL world. It is of no use at all finding out information about the non Physical.

It is obvious that you do not understand this, and this is the source of your anger that science doesn’t go out of its way to coddle your weak faith.

As I pointed out, you are completely Bible-illiterate.

Keep up making up your own theology, its a knee slapper.

Embarrassment is the new buzz word from the Temple of Darwinism as in this comment:

“It’s rather like having a daft uncle who gets drunk at family gatherings and farts loudly and moons the in-laws. It’s unseemly and embarrassing.”

You want me off this thread really bad, eh?

Not at all. It’s most apparent you’ve done a bang-up job all by yourself of exposing yourself as a liberal troll. If your game is to destroy yourself and diminish your self-respect...

you’re free to do it!

What I don’t get is why you think you need to keep going on so...as very few people don’t see it by now.
