First dino 'blood' extracted from ancient bone (more evidence for young earth creation!)
New Scientist ^ | April 30, 2009 | Jeff Hecht

Posted on 05/01/2009 8:25:18 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

A dinosaur bone buried for 80 million years has yielded a mix of proteins and microstructures resembling cells. The finding is important because it should resolve doubts about a previous report that also claimed to have extracted dino tissue from fossils...

It’s sad when not even conservatives can think for themselves. It you want to believe darwood’s atheist creation myth, go right ahead. As for me, I will continue to glorify God’s wondrous creation!

Basic cold, hard, reality: the tens of millions of years which you’ve been told all your life separate us from the dinosaur age has turned out to be a bunch of bullshit. Deal with it.

Welcome aboard the HMS Creation. We are ship-shape, battle ready, and stand ready to take on survivors from the badly listing HMS Beagle :o)

I don’t have a problem with creationists. I would just deny them the benefit of evolutionary science (modern medicine against evolved diseases, modern high yield food crops). I support, and extend your religious belief.

My example is that most Christian and Roumanian prince Vlad Tepes, a.k.a Dracula, who expressed his desire to support and extend the Turkish ambassadors’ habit of not doffing their hats in front of him, and so had their hats nailed to their heads.

but not tens of millions or billions of years old. Robert Bass once redid Lord Kelvin's heat equations for the planet and included a maximal figure for radioactive elements, and got an upper bound for age of around 200M years.

Huh, aren't you contradicting yourself saying it isn't tens of millions or billions of years old and citing as evidence a study that gives evidence of the 200 million year old range? At that, later recalculations of Kelvin's analysis has actually increased the maximal figure, not decreased it.

So how is quoting an article thinking for yourself?

80 million years eh?

That's good to hear.
“Cause that means when Jesus comes back for the resurrection, there’ll still be something left of me to bring back to life!
...and life IS in the blood after all!

“turned out”

Not based on any evidence you have presented, or referenced.

Got any references to creationists who do like actual science rather than quote mining? Any thought experiments to help come up with a testable hypothesis?

It may come as a shock to you, but those who believe in Evolution, ID, or Theistic Evolution(like me) actually do 'think for ourselves'.

Flash! Lord Kelvin proves that one can be smart and wrong at the same time.

Could you provide a source for Bass’ argument?

but also haemoglobin, elastin and laminin, as well as cell-like structures resembling blood and bone cells.

It appears they found cell-like structures that look like blood and bone cells, no actual blood. The concrete things they found were proteins. A protein is just an organic molecule, and a pretty hardy one, much longer lasting than DNA (which itself lasts longer than 6,000 years).

The article is based on the data obtained by mary schweitzer. That data is far more supportive of biblical creation, while at the same time undermining darwood’s atheist creation myth.

The age of the earth doesn’t necessarily prove or disprove Darwin, just as Darwin’s theory of evolution doesn’t necessarily prove or disprove the existence of God.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how many years equates to one day in the creation of the world? In other words, how many millions of years between darkness and light?

If the earth is young, it absolutely falsifies darwood’s atheist creation myth, because it requires vast ages of deep-time to be even remotely plausible. Although, now that I mention it, not even trillions upon trillions of years would be enough time, as Dr. Pitmann ably demontrates here:

Well then, are you ready to admit that the discovery of multiple dinos with blood cells and soft tissue still in their bones is much more supportive of the biblical creation model, as opposed to the Evo notion that the Dinos went extinct tens of millions of years ago???

The universe is so big, so complex, and so wonderful we have as much chance of understanding how it works as a monkey has solving Rubik’s Cube.

We might figure out how to make something move or what color a certain part is. But determining it’s inner workings and purpose will remain a mystery beyond our comprehension.

Science is a useful tool but it can’t take God’s place nor should it be worshipped.

I’ll just relax and enjoy the ride on HMS Creation.
