It’s an interesting quandary, to say the least.

Wouldn’t you love to see some of those finds cloned.

Wow...

Perhaps the material has decayed or morphed beyond useful dna or rna being available. If so, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa from here.

So....

Does this mean medieval knights really did slay dragons?

Biblical data, however, not only provide the timeframe for the death of these dinosaurs in Flood deposits a few thousand years ago, but also a mode of deposition in agreement with observable data that their demise occurred when they "fell into a watery grave."

Whoever wrote that has never been to the Grand Canyon.

They seem so fresh that it appears as though the bodies were buried only a few thousand years ago.

Mmmm.....

Something tells me someone didn’t check to see what “soft tissue” preserved inside dinosaur bone fossils actually entailed, and is therefore assuming someone found large chunks of marrow or something. Yes, soft tissue indications were found, mainly collagens, and were encased in rock themselves.

It also strikes me as an incredible leap to suggest that just because our current understanding of the decay of collagens in a fossilization environment can’t explain the presence of those collagens, therefore the whole thing is wrong and the dinosaurs lived only thousands of years ago (and somehow almost all of their bodies mineralized so quickly except this one tissue; and yes we have found fossilized skin). Occam’s razor would suggest that we probably just don’t know enough about collagen preservation yet.

Repeating the same lies over and over and over....does not make the ad nauseum correct.

There has been exactly ZERO “soft, squishy tissues” found in dinosaur bones, Dr....er....Brian Thomas MS*....and if Brian Thomas MS* knew WTF he was talking about, he’d stop lying about it.....but the truth isn’t what B rian Thomas MS* is interested in.

What HAS been found in fossilized dinosaur bones is FOSSILIZED “soft tisssue structures” that are then de-mineralized.

....but Brian Thomas MS* doesn’t want you to really know that part....all he wants is for you to thinnk that there’s soft-squishy tissue found and then you too will believe that Man walked the Earth at the same time as 100+ large meat eating dinosaurs that all somehow dies 4,351 years ago because they somehow missed their seat on the Ark.

Next article to post would be the “dinosaur skin” that was found. (corrected to the truth....fossilized dinosaur skin structure)

“soft, squishy tissues have been discovered inside fossilized dinosaur bones. They seem so fresh that it appears as though the bodies were buried only a few thousand years ago.”

The number of lies in that statement is like a BJ CLinton statement. Creationists and philandering liberals, one and the same.

(And by the way, would you eat a “soft squishy fresh” piece of meat buried only a few thousand years ago? Even his lie is idiotic.)

Isn’t the primary cause of decay the action of bacteria? If no bacteria get access to the marrow cavity in a bone, is it reasonable to suppose that decay will be retarded?

No agenda, just askin’ questions!

Another screed from the “You’re going to hell if you don’t agree with this article” people.
