““A dinosaur bone buried for 80 million years...
encased in sandstone for 80 million years...
reveal more about dinosaur evolution...””

“Do you have a point, or are you mearly trying to illustrate you profound ignorance?”

See that is the point... all of the statements you quoted above are based on assumptions made by scientists, not proven science. Evolution is still a theory as are the assumptions about dating. The entire article is based on scientific theory and assumption, not scientific fact. The honest question of “How did these things that were found survive for 80 million years?” is not being asked by you or the writers of the story. If you were objective you would be asking that question yourself instead of just slamming the poster of the story just to try and prop up your previously determined opinions.

But you’re not objective, now are you?

Actually, in the past several years there's been an onslaught of scientific research done by people who asked themselves that same question. And it's not hard to find.

Evolution will always be a theory.

Theory: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses."

Theories do not grow up to be laws or facts. Theories explain laws. And your attempt to demean evolution be labeling it "still" a theory is quite silly.
