Ping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or evidence that tissue can survive longer than we thought under the right conditions.
So when does the Jurassic Park cloning begin??
The dinos got wiped out in the activity that is described in Genesis 1:2 land before our time.
Nother question... How do they know that what they have found belongs to the dinosaur? Is there some kind of dino-tissue bank somewhere to compare these findings?
For that stuff to be even one million years old it would have to have never rained in Montana or the Dakotas for the last million years.

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: she describes herself as “a complete and total Christian.” On a shelf in her office is a plaque bearing an Old Testament verse: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Young-earth creationists also see Schweitzer’s work as revolutionary, but in an entirely different way. They first seized upon Schweitzer’s work after she wrote an article for the popular science magazine Earth in 1997 about possible red blood cells in her dinosaur specimens. Creation magazine claimed that Schweitzer’s research was “powerful testimony against the whole idea of dinosaurs living millions of years ago. It speaks volumes for the Bible’s account of a recent creation.”
This drives Schweitzer crazy. Geologists have established that the Hell Creek Formation, where B. rex was found, is 68 million years old, and so are the bones buried in it. She’s horrified that some Christians accuse her of hiding the true meaning of her data. “They treat you really bad,” she says. “They twist your words and they manipulate your data.” For her, science and religion represent two different ways of looking at the world; invoking the hand of God to explain natural phenomena breaks the rules of science. After all, she says, what God asks is faith, not evidence. “If you have all this evidence and proof positive that God exists, you don’t need faith. I think he kind of designed it so that we’d never be able to prove his existence. And I think that’s really cool.”
So the guy quoted in the article, from whence comes your 'more evidence for YEC' recognizes that fossils more than a few HUNDRED thousand years old exist.
How does this support young earth creationism?
The Chinese love Dinosaur bones. There are villagers who actually use them as delicacies.

Chinese Villagers Eat Dinosaur Bones
Villagers in central China dug up a ton of dinosaur bones and boiled them in soup or ground them into powder for traditional medicine, believing they were from flying dragons and had healing powers.
Parts of the 18-meter dinosaur were dug up and eaten by locals as traditional medicine, scientists said Tuesday. The dinosaur bones, and a mockup of a full size dinosaur were displayed for the first time Tuesday.

Ummmm....no....it's not.....in ANY manner.
It's evidence that, under the correct conditions, proteins from living things can survive for millions of years.....nothing more.
How do you figure Adam escaped the wrath of T-Rex?
