Re: paleonet PaleoNet: Soft tissue in dinosaur bone

This is a truly wonderful discovery. Almost as good as the Chinese Cambrian
embryos. And all anyone seems to want to discuss here is how this affects the
inane argument that the paleo community has been drawn into re. creationism
or ID. Is this argument all that is left of paleontology? Read the paper in
Science. Be excited about what has been found. Return to the science of
paleontology. It is a truly fascinating aspect of the Earth--whatever your
spirituality or lack of it. I agree with Ted Donaho whose email is below Ana
Pinto's email.

Sick of all the nonsense,
