> I just finished reading an article produced by the Creation Studies Institute in which they allege "the most recent findings of soft tissue in what is supposedly a 65-million year old dinosaur." Does anybody have any idea what the hell they are talking about? Easy enough... Here's a couple of on-line reports http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7285683/ http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/307/5717/1952 .... including a downloadable version (.pdf file) Mary Schweitzer also made a presentation on this subject at the recent SVP meeting in Mesa, AZ. Not only have they found soft tissue preservation in /T.rex/ bone, but they also used the same recovery technique on bone from a modern ostrich, a mammoth and a South American dinosaur... The preserved tissue looks very similar regardless of the age of the specimen. Pretty amazing, unless of course, you are of the 'unintelligent' design persuasion..
