A trifle too “organic,” I’d be saying...

You keep repeating this without telling the complete story. The didn’t exactly dig up a dino and find it had “fresh red blood cells and flexible soft tissue” as you creationist like to tell it. It was quite a bit more involved than that.

After dissolving away the mineral portion of the bone with weak acid, various types of flexible structures were recovered. They conform to the microscopic pores of the bone in which they had resided, so they are mainly viewed under a microscope. These structures include transparent, branching hollow vessels corresponding to the blood vessels found in modern animals (e.g. ostriches), and also what look like modern osteocyte (bone) cells. Various biochemical tests have indicated that these structures are composed of animal protein, showing that they derive from the original dinosaur tissue, as opposed to being merely biofilms produced by microbes which invaded the bone pores.

It’s only 11 inches long. Maybe a rat.

It could be a dinosaur, but I vote for a shriveled up Rat. I’ll have to admit, though, that I didn’t think they had democRats in India.

That’s not the incident I am referring to. I’m referring to the time that the evolutionist cross-sectioned samples from the leg-bone and made up a series of slides. These were presented at a conference. In attendance was a veterinarian. He spotted what the not-nearly-as-smart-as-they-think-they-are-evolutionists missed: clearly visible red blood cells.

The entire episode was so embarrassing that a freeper-evolutionist at the time the original article was published kept denying the role the veterinarian had played: despite the fact that it was clearly spelled out in the article.
