Mmmm .. maybe dinosaur fossils are less than 6000 years old, after all.

[BenLurkin]

Looks like a rock.

Well OBVIOUSLY humans and dinosaurs had to live contemporaneously in the town of Bedrock having a Yabba Dabba Do time!/s

So why do we find dinosaur and other archaic tropical fossils in Antartica, but the only modern species we find are penguins and such?

Some Texan will try to make a pair of boots out of it.

Need to ask a bit more to determine if there is a Scientific Consensus, before coming to the conclusion that Scientists Are Stumped...

[Red Badger]

Proving that there is more than one way to skin a dinosaur.........

[ontap]

Perhaps at some point the earth rotated on a different axis!!

[Red Badger]

Quite possible if they can clone the skin cells or harvest the DNA.........

[a fool in paradise]

Can you fry them up like pork rinds?

[humblegunner]

maybe dinosaur fossils are less than 6000 years old

And maybe the Egyptians used them as draft animals to build the pyramids.

And maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt.

At some point where no modern species existed on Antarctica but many ancient tropical species (including dinosaurs) did? It still doesn't answer why we find no large (or placental, or hoofed) mammals, but only dinosaurs and the like.

The Earth rotating on a different axis doesn't answer the question, it just raises more questions. Questions that creationists are not prepared to answer.

Sometimes sarcasm is funny.

Most of the time, it's just --- Maddow.

[allmendream]

Sometimes ignorant attacks on science are funny, but most the time they are just cretarded.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Mmmmm, maybe you’re just voluntarily ignorant. Gimme a break.

Interesting how the descriptions of the sample the Institute for Creation Research are different from the ones published elsewhere.

One would think that these fully mineralized fossils with traces of organic residues trapped in the rock matrix are practically grocery store fresh!

Earlier find with the soft tissues preserved. Apparently pretty common and not an indicator of a young earth.

Of course it’s rock, this is a skin fossil. It is not the actual skin, which has been replaced by minerals, leaving this impression. Otherwise, they would be testing the cells, dna, etc.

The author is sadly mistaken thinking this is skin that is only a few thousand years old.

quick!
Ignore it!
