Does anyone believe that the dinosaur could still have soft tissue and undigested food in its stomach after 77 million years? Even with the most modern embalming methods and a completely dry atmosphere (i.e. Egypt)it would still only last thousands of years.

Scientists would have to do alot of explaining before I'll buy into that age.

Wait 'till they find one of these guys running around in the woods! THEN ask how it's ancestors all died out 65 million years ago!

In Montana and North Dakota, things keep well and time passes at a different pace than in the rest of the world.

You bring new meaning to that phrase "reading between the lines." The idea is to deduce from the information given, not to fabricate inaccurate information.

I agree. If it were something that made more sense like virgin birth,creating the world in 6 days,parting the Red Sea,etc,etc,etc it would be MUCH more believable.

I interpreted the article to mean that they have fossilized soft tissue. An exceedingly rare event.

You are showing that your's was, at best, a narrow education.

There's chitin on scorpionids that still has its original coloration. In addition, your "would" still doesn't follow. If this dinosaur, indeed, is 77 million years old, then what you believe about what could or could not be possible is irrelevant. Besides, they said that the tissue was fossilized. It was called a mummy because of the degree to which soft tissue was preserved, not because it was merely dried out like an Egyptian mummy.
