“Meanwhile, Schweitzer’s research has been hijacked by ‘young earth’ creationists, who insist that dinosaur soft tissue couldn’t possibly survive millions of years. They claim her discoveries support their belief, based on their interpretation of Genesis, that the earth is only a few thousand years old. Of course, it’s not unusual for a paleontologist to differ with creationists. But when creationists misrepresent Schweitzer’s data, she takes it personally...”
you are making an argument based the actions of a third party, who you do not like, which has nothing to do with the original science.
Might I suggest you learn from the past?
Read about Louis Pasteur, what he claimed, the prevailing believe of 99% of scientists at the time, what happened to Pasteur (being kicked out of the Academy of Science, no less) and who was proven right.
Truth has no agenda. It can be that a fool is right. People who care about what others think rarely can think objectively.
Sherlock Holmes (a fictional character) said “If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” This is the spirit in which we should make observations — not that of a biased policeman, looking for evidence to convict the man he dislikes.
I really don’t care who is hijacking anything.
I merely observe the findings, and draw my own conclusions.
I do not believe that organic material can survive 50,75,100 million years at room temperature. If you want to be counted for those that do, then that’s fine.
It’s incumbent upon those who claim the material is that old to explain how we can have 75 Million year old viable organic matter.
