If soft-tissue discoveries in dinosaurs presents a logical or rational dilemma, I welcome that.

Any dinosaur relics would have been found in soil/rock formations that are 65 million years old or older. If you opined on mechanisms on how tissue could be preserved for that length of time rather than immediately accepting the silly notion that it's proof of a deluvian age, you would command more respect from most people.

Go ahead with your PhD in ME and turn your nose up at sciences such as cosmology, geology, archeology, evolutionary morphology, and genetics that all support a consistent view of the age of the universe, evolutionary processes, and mechanisms for dating events. The Bible may be a useful resource for documenting human events but it sucks at basic science. there is not one formula in it or any principles of physical phenomena. It only has rules for people to follow. The biblical morality has some good commonsense beliefs.

Basing your belief in creation lends weight to the pervert communities as they point out the creation nonsense makes Bible follows suspect as they can't grasp ordinary science. Instead of wasting time on creation, your time would be better spent on researching moral habits and the dangers of perversion, that's what the Bible writes about.

In fact one can see the rudiments of evolution in Genesis. First, God makes matter and energy. Then comes light. then comes the consolidation of the earth. then comes land and sea. then comes plant life. then comes animal life. then we get mankind. This so parallels the modern notion of cosmology and evolution, that one has to extend great credit to the ancient Jews for being able to conceive of cosmolgy and evolution well before they had any means to measure what they saw.

“If you opined on mechanisms on how tissue could be preserved for that length of time” ...

I did present an explanation: they were buried about 5000 years ago.

What is your explanation?

P.S. Do you have any “science” credentials?

(Not that I would be convinced “just because” someone has a degree - I’m not. See AGW for that error.....

I just mentioned my degree to show that I’ve done homework....

LOTS of it ..... in physics, engineering, math, statistics, logic, etc.
