Squid Fossils, Ancient DNA, and a Young Earth

The field of biology has provided much support for a recent creation, and physical evidence of very young-looking biological materials from supposedly ancient fossils continues to accrue from around the world, and from various depths under the earth.

In August of this year, paleontologists in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England, made a discovery that astounded the evolutionary community...

What I find amazing is that someone would be surprised that a ground up and rehydrated fossilized ink sac would make an ink-like substance.

SHOCKER!!!

Are you casting pearls in front of swine? ;0)

This was discussed the first time this article appeared.

Apparently, the ink sac was not fossilized, it was just dessicated.

In fossilization, the bony material of the creature is replaced by minerals from the surrounding soil. Other elements, (like an ink sac) become dessicated. They can be rehydrated.

Excellent description...and to the point! Thanks for helping to clear things up :o)

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Thanks for the ping.

I wonder why it took 50 to 70 years for science to accept Darwin’s natural selection theory, and reject his Pangenesis theory altogether.

No surprise, it rehydrated into something that you could draw with. Of course, you can do the same with some tree barks, some seeds, some rocks, some clays, some insects.....

I bet the Precambrian banded irons rocks that billions of years old would make a nice red ink.
