Where a 65 million year old T-rex fossilized bone was dissolved in acid to see what remained. They found stretchy remains. Tissue. Actual soft tissue. A chunk of it. Red blood cells too.
Here’s my beef. By any reasonable rules of decay, there should simply be no chance in a million that pliable soft tissue and red blood cells would remain intact no matter how they became fossilized for 60+ million years.
Here is my point. You can make the argument both ways on this.
1) It’s amazing that something carbon dated at 65 million years has soft tissue in it! Remarkable!!!
2) It’s amazing that carbon dating placed something at 65 million years old when it clearly has soft tissue in it. We had better check the validity of carbon dating!!!
Either statement is potentially valid about the results, unless you want to scream, “The science is settled.” And shut everyone down.
“1) It’s amazing that something carbon dated at 65 million years ...
2) It’s amazing that carbon dating placed something at 65 million years old ....”
Both statements are invalid since carbon dating is only used to abou 50,000 years.
