This is an update to a discovery I've been following, and it is as a win-win for me. I've written a few articles on this so click on this link to be brought to one, which also contains links to other similar articles.
Here is a quick run down. Back in 2007 a discovery was made of a T. Rex fossil that contained soft tissue. The problem is that modern science believes that T. Rex died off some 68 million years ago and so that creates a problem. The problem is that scientists know that over millions of years no soft tissue can survive the fossilization process. The sedimentary rock encasing the fossil might allow for survival of soft tissue, but only for several thousands of years, not millions. I agree with that logic and so, based on the finding the scientists must make a decision. Either adjust the current theoretical understanding of the ages these dinosaurs were alive, or show that there are errors in the discovery of the soft tissue. Guess which direction most scientists decided to take? Right! First instinct is to protect the theory they have backed and in which they have upheld as true. Can't say I blame them.
But the good news is that after third party study and verification, it has been found that in fact the soft tissue is real. CHA-CHING! Read: Re-examination of T. Rex Verifies Disputed Biochemical Remains.
As I always say I am for good science. Allow the truth to be known and let it take us where ever it takes us. Based on current understanding no soft tissue can survive the fossilization process for millions of years. When soft tissue is found you either have to adjust the current theory to allow for a younger earth or show how organic material can survive longer periods. The problem is that there is no known process that can extend the survival rate of soft tissue from a few thousand years to 68 million! Why not just be humble and say that based on the current finding adjustments in the current theories need to be made. How about because of ego and fear.
Folks, I don't care if you call me crazy or stupid. Our earth is much younger than what modern science thinks.
