All the buzz in the paleontology community last week was about some newly found evidence that is supposed to be the first to actually link dinosaurs and birds in the evolutionary scheme. What you probably totally missed is that this evidence came out of the story that I posted about last year dealing with a soft-tissue discovery inside a T. Rex fossil.
So this is basically the end-game for this story as far as the scientific community is concerned. They evidently have no problem with soft tissue surviving for 68 million years. Excuse me?! Meanwhile… in the real world, real people know that’s totally absurd. Talk about blind faith in evolution. This has to take the cake. As I watch some roadkill vanish into dust after only a few weeks of driving to work, I’m starting to think the presup. guys have the right idea. It’s pretty obvious from this that bias is enough to blind anyone to the truth, no matter the evidence.
The very first question asked while reading this story should have been, “How the heck do you get a collagen protein from a 68 million year old fossil?” But evidently they aren’t too concerned with that. Sheesh! David over at Creation-Evolution Headlines has some good insight as always:
“How can they completely ignore the big question? Don’t just tell us this stuff did survive for millions of years—tell us how it could.”
“Read these articles in disbelief. Notice how nothing in secular science is fixed in stone except for faith in evolution and its requirement, “geological time.””
