It’s always refreshing to hear the views of an eminent molecular paleontologist like yourself. Given your expertise, how do you respond to the explanations of Mary Schweitzer as to the chemical and molecular processes that allow for the preservation of certain proteins in collagen for over 145 million years? Do you think her analysis which claims that the presence of iron and the generation of free radicals that have the ability to tightly bond proteins is faulty? If so, why?
Hey! It’s still a semi-free country, especially for anyone who cobbles together cock and bull stories about how some of these things MIGHT have happened, etc., etc. They are never required to PROVE any of it. As long as it contradicts the Scriptures and casts doubts on the concept of relatively recent Special Creation these story tellers are lauded and applauded as great sages. I choose to believe the Scriptures, and take all these just-so stories with 10 lbs of salt.
Happy trails.
