Mr.Emu has a point here.Mister Emu said:Obviously, to the truly objective and unbiased mind, all this shows is that this T-Rex has not been dead long enough for all its soft tissue to dissappear
Well while the point remains(I believe that it will be made by YECs), I was being a bit sarcastic in the wording.Mr.Emu has a point here.
Would someone rebut this..please?
Do it. Do it.Before I have to subscribe to YEC magazine.
Yeah! T-Rex must have died within ten years or soMister Emu said:Obviously, to the truly objective and unbiased mind, all this shows is that this T-Rex has not been dead long enough for all its soft tissue to dissappear

On page 1952, a team led by Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State University in Raleigh describes dinosaur blood vessels--still flexible and elastic after 68 million years--and apparently intact cells. "If we have tissues that are not fossilized, then we can potentially extract DNA," says Lawrence Witmer, a paleontologist at Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens. "It's very exciting." But don't fire up the sequencing machines just yet. Experts, and the team itself, say they won't be convinced that the original material has survived unaltered until further test results come in.
The skeleton was excavated in 2003 from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana by co-author Jack Horner's crew at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. Back in the lab, Schweitzer and her technician demineralized the fragments by soaking them in a weak acid. As the fossil dissolved, transparent vessels were left behind. "It was totally shocking," Schweitzer says. "I didn't believe it until we'd done it 17 times." Branching vessels also appeared in fragments from a hadrosaur and another Tyrannosaurus skeleton. Many of the vessels contain red and brown structures that resemble cells. And inside these are smaller objects similar in size to the nuclei of the blood cells in modern birds. The team also found osteocytes, cells that deposit bone minerals, preserved with slender filipodia still intact.
You know as well as I do that fervent YECs do not believe millions of years dating to be accurate.still flexible and elastic after 68 million years
Well, if YEC is true, then they would also be quite a bit younger than the currently accept dates.Branching vessels also appeared in fragments from a hadrosaur and another Tyrannosaurus skeleton.

Dang, evolution still didn't happen.Try three coins in a wishing well
Hehehe - my coins went into a chemistry beaker and the granting of the wish is on the way. Sorry!Mister Emu said:Dang, evolution still didn't happen.
