A
group of Paleontologists in Montana recently discovered soft
tissues in a thigh bone from a Tyrannosaurus Rex they were
excavating. While
removing T-Rex bone encased in rock the thigh bone broke exposing
soft tissues including blood vessels that are still flexible. Imagine
that, blood vessel in T-Rex fossils you can stretch. Pretty
amazing for something that’s been dead for millions of years.
What is even more amazing than this is the
way the scientific establishment is handling this discovery. What
appears to be convincing evidence that T-Rex was around in
the recent past is just being overlooked. Believe it
or not they are discussing reassessing their theories of fossilization. It
appears to me that what this evidence calls into question is
on an order of magnitude more significant than just theories
of fossilization. The whole concept of long time chronologies
and geologic time is at stake. Many converging lines of evidence are demonstrating that the
fossils we find could only be present in sediment if they were
deposited rapidly. Since there are many fossil finds
with thousands upon thousands of fossils found in the same
place, the global flood of Genesis becomes ever more apparent
as being scientific fact. To read more about the evidences
for a global flood please visit www.globalflood.org.
In the article it mentions that this find “opens
the door for research into the protein structure of ancient
organisms.”
This statement is indicative of the pervasive nature of evolutionary
bias in science. The central question posed by this find
is how could this fossil possibly be millions of years old? Certainly protein structures decay very rapidly in the environment. If
something dies it is rapidly devoured by animals and microorganisms,
and then chemical breakdown decomposes what is left in weeks
or months. Even if something is quickly covered in sediments
which solidify into sedimentary rock, chemical breakdown will
reduce these organic compounds to their dry powder constituents.
Organic chemists can barely imagine soft
tissue lasting thousands of years, let alone 68 million (T-Rex
extinction date). The biblical creationist Dr. Alan White, a research fellow
with Eastman Chemical who holds 36 patents and has a doctorate
in organic chemistry from Harvard was quoted in a recent debate
as saying “Any good organic chemist knows proteins
can't remain intact that long." The process
of chemical decomposition is very rapid and is considered to
be a stretch for thousands of years, if not utterly impossible
for millions of years. Certainly thousands of years for this
process, although remarkable, is far more acceptable than
millions of years.
In the final analysis this fossil T-Rex
with soft tissues offers conclusive evidence that dinosaurs
did not go extinct millions of years ago, but are creatures
that coexisted contemporaneously with humans.
