Re: paleonet PaleoNet: Soft tissue in dinosaur bone

Yeah, could not agree more with Ted, lately you only endlessly talk about creationism and ID. I agree that the issues may be worrying but it is booooring.

Dear PaleoNetters
I find it very discouraging that responses on PaleoNet to the "Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Bone" announcement only elicit anti-ID & anti-Creationist (or to react positively to the negative reactions: pro-Evolution responses).  Has paleonet become solely an Anti-Creationist list; what happened to the science of Paleontology??

Thanks Allison, for your refreshing positive response to a significant find / announcement!

Subject: paleonet PaleoNet: Soft tissue in dinosaur bone

I did some background research on the website sent to Paleonet earlier this weekend, found at http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2005/0325Dino_tissue.asp

This article describes soft tissue discovered in a dinosaur bone, and similar reports can be found on many other websites including CNN and MSNBC (where the
articles do not draw the conclusion that this tissue means dinosaurs are only a few thousand years old).  All of these reports seem to be based on an article
published in Science on March 25, 2005.  The reference is:

Schweitzer, M.H., Wittmeyer, J.L., Horner, J.R. and J.K. Toporski. 2005.
Soft-tissue vessels and cellular preservation in Tyrannosaurus rex. Science
307: 1952-1955.

I don't know what to make of this intriguing research.  Any thoughts?

Allison
