"Apparently, evolutionary thinking blinds its proponents from even considering clues that confound their worldview, like original tissues still inside un-mineralized fossils. The Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology report's press release even displays a Daohugou feathered bird's original bone material and soft tissues that reflect UV light differently than the surrounding mudrock.3 The idea that such biological material—portions of intact soft tissue—can last for even one million years, let alone 160 million, stretches credulity way past the breaking point.4"

ICR article quote.

Here I thought this was some sort of eHarmony kind of article.

Slick wants to know if a fossil is anything like a mummy.

How (Not) to Date a Fossil (article)

Easy. Just say NO if I ask.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Does anyone need any extra convincing to not date this fossil?

I thought this article was going to be on avoiding going out with old men.

Similar to evolutionary scientists finding gelatinous heme in the marrow of a partially permineralized t-rex bone. Rather than saying, “Wait a minute, gelatinous heme can’t survive for 65 million years!” they instead say “Under certain conditions, gelatinous heme can survive for 65 million years.” That’s faith, not science.

Same with their belief that a stupendously complex “simple” single-celled organism can form itself from its chemical elements. Darwin ignorantly believed such cells were simple blobs of protoplasm. We know better now, and yet they cling faithfully to this fiction that they THINK/HOPE evades the Judge and Judgment.

How old is this one?

6000.

And this one?

6000,

How about this one?

6000.

Don’t ask her out in the first place!

Ba-dum-bum!

Thank you, I’ll be here all week- try the veal.

1) Assert that the Bible says the entire universe is only 6018 years old (It doesn’t, Archbishop Ussher said it does, but it doesn’t)
2) Ignore all evidence, whether it be the shear volume of rock above it, the clearly defined annual layers, the actual counts of tree rings, the matching strata, the ratios of radioactive elements to their daughter products, unless of course there is so little carbon 14 left that the technique can’t be used to date the sample, then insist that too old to date means the technique can’t be used on younger samples, and means that older samples are younger!
3) Assign a date that is less than 6018 years old.
4) Congratulate yourself on this stunning blow for God.
5) Gather a bunch of like minded individuals and tell each other how wise you all are.
6) Tell everybody else they’re going straight to Hell.

The only accurate way to date anything on the Earth is to count all the begets in the Bible,
every good creationist knows that,
why do atheistic science classes waste kids time teaching them about atom’s and molecules and the speed of light???

Those fanged ideas come from straight the devil...

All they need to know is the begets.

The Daohugou fossil fields present complex dating problems due to the faulting and folding of the rocks containing the fossils. This results in some cases in older fossils being “ on top” of younger fossils. However, radiometric dating is being used to sort this puzzle out. The time ranges are from 120 mya to 170 mya. However, the dating problems are found in the structural geology of the formation along with sampling protocol.

It is obvious that some species are longer lived than others which may present problems in dating. Trilobites were a extremely successful creature but all disappeared with the Permian Extinction. Thus, if you have rock with trilobite fossils, you can be fairly certain the rocks are 250+ mya. The potential exception comes when those fossils become incased in younger rock by erosion, faulting or volcanic means. That is one of many reasons radiometric dating in combination with good geologic examination of the formation being sampled is important.

Straw men again dominate the creationist argument. Science isn’t easy and false conclusions are frequent which is why peer review and reexamination with newer tools is important. In this case though the science has been refined and paradoxes resolved. Science doesn’t have written instructions guiding and determining its conclusions.
