...they find more soft tissue and organic matter that can’t last more than 100,000 years.

With a hundred thousand years of research to back that opinion up? Like the "settled science" of AGW, or the "Earth is flat" scientists from hundreds of years ago?

Full disclosure: I believe God created Heaven and Earth, and all else. But evidence seems to point to time frames outside of those espoused by some Creationists. "A day with God is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day". Written when millions, billions and trillions would have only confused the folks.

“With a hundred thousand years of research to back that opinion up?”

I’ll freely admit that the estimates of decay rates of different kinds of tissue are based in part on extrapolation.

However, if you reject science based on that kind of extrapolation, then you must logically also reject the theory of evolution, since it is based much more heavily on extrapolation, over even greater time periods that prevent scientists from using the scientific method to verify their hypotheses.

So, take your pick. Either you can reject evolution because it is based on extrapolation instead of the scientific method, or you can reject evolution because soft tissue in the fossil evidence falsifies the hypothesis.
