OK, I’ve had time to look into your claims about dinosaur DNA.

In 1994 a guy named Woodward claimed to have found a few tiny snippets of dinosaur DNA. At the time, the human genome had not been sequenced, so it was not immediately possible to demonstrate the snippets were contamination. But they almost certainly were. You don’t find many references to the Woodward find after 1996.

The same thing is happening to the more recent claim of finding dinosaur collagen (protein). As more work is done, it appears to be microbial contamination.

Construction of Jurassic Park in on hold..

” microbial contamination.”? Maybe it wasn't contamination, maybe the dinosaurs were really huge microbes. Big squishy, soft microsaurs, Microsquishy? No,...Microsoft! That's it!
