Gee, as "condescending" as snidely providing the definition of "pliable", like you're the only one in the world that knows the word......and NOW you're gonna have false indignation? Yeah, I'm sure you were just trying to edumacate me with a little vercabularily lesson.

You need a definition of "snidely"?

Gee, you don't know the original source (really not hard to find), yet you're gonna keep on posting words from a REPORTER? Is that how homeschoolers are taught "science"? "Hey kids, forget the actual research....here's a reporter's take on it"...better yet, here's lyin' Brian Thomas MS8 take on it.

You are misrepresenting her work. It was demineralized and all the ROCK was dissolved leaving behind what wasn’t rock.

I misrepresent nothing, and you need an english comprehension class....as that's EXACTLY WHAT I'VE SAID ALL ALONG....in contradistinction to what lyin' Brian Thomas MS* keeps on saying that "soft tissues were found"...that "blood cells were found" in the fossils, leaving YECers to believe they found "soft" "tissue" and actual blood cells, when they've found "fossilized" "soft tissue" and "fossilized" "blood cell structures"...and and the presence of heme and some protein fragments...."soft tissue" is a medical term...I'm sure your dictionary can help you.

The real reason why this is "news" is because she did to the samples what paleontologists don't do...destroy the sample, instead of preserve it at all cost.

From all this....that they were able to demineralize a fossil and find a fibrous matrix....does that tell YOU that T. rex walked the Earth with Man within the last 4,531 years? Tells me that we don't know as much about decay and fossilization in anoxic environments as we thought.

I was not offended by your remark about homeschoolers although you tried to be condescending to me. So no false indignation actually no indignation at all. I was just suprised and a little humored, that’s all.

I asked for a link to the original research because I searched for one and I couldn’t find one. I would like to read it that is why I asked for it. Instead of helping, you tried to further insult homeschoolers. Again, not offended just suprised/humored.

Besides, the article I linked to was in a science magazine not a newspaper report and it reported the scientist’s words.

Providing a definiton was part of making my counter argument. It was not an attack on your intelligence as if you didn’t know the definition.

Also, I reread your post and said to another poster (I thought it was you), that I had misread the post and I realized we were saying the same thing. Sorry about the confusion with that. I will ping you to that post when I find it. I think I said it to Ira_Louvin thinking that he was the one I was talking about that particular point with.

Have a nice day. I won’t be debating with you on this subject anymore because it seems awfully personal to you and you seem angry. I hope I am wrong. Blessings to you and yours!
