In the last decade there have been two crushing blows to the idea that dinosaurs died out some 65 million years ago. The first blow was the discovery of unfossilized dinosaur tissue at the center of a T. rex bone by Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State University. That discovery, and some papers written about it, started an intense debate about whether what they found really was unfossilized dinosaur tissue (see News to Note, August 2, 2008).

Now scientists have found more soft (unfossilized) tissue from a hadrosaur, a duck-billed dinosaur supposedly from 80 million years ago. The new find confirms that there really is unfossilized tissue in some dinosaur bones.

But soft tissue is thought to last, at the very most, about 1 million years. During this time it would slowly be replaced by minerals, which eventually would result in a fossil. Finding soft tissue throws off the evolutionary timetable considerably, as evolutionary scientists insist that dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago.

Of course, evolutionary scientists, instead of adjusting the dates of their timetable, are saying that they must be wrong about how long soft tissue can really last. They are committed to the “millions of years” story no matter what scientific discoveries are made. Imagine how they will try to explain things if someone ever finds a living dinosaur!"

AIG doesn't do any science. They just take other people's science, and contort it into their own creationist worldview.

the key is:

the lack of soft-tissue was never a determining factor in how old dinosaur fossils are. There are many independent lines of evidence that point to the age of dinosaurs. The discovery of soft-tissue isn't enough evidence to question the age of dinosaurs, but instead enough to question how long soft-tissue survives.

not that it matters - AIG being disingenuous when they say "thought to last only 1 million years", because the people who run AIG are committed to a young-earth model of <10,000 years anyway

Everybody knows that dinosaur bones were placed there by God to test the faithful.

Or was it the devil who placed them there to trick people into turning away from God? I forget...

no, no, no - Dinosaurs were in the Garden of Eden. They just didn't make it on the Ark for some reason, and that's when they were all buried!

dinosaur bones actually come from the future by way of a time machine.

Not to legitimize anything in the article, but this guy lived 40,000 years ago.
