"Dr. Mary Schweitzer, renowned for discovering intact soft tissue plus blood and bone cells in dinosaur fossils, has taken part in new research which has provided further examples. Hollow and pliable blood vessel structures (microvascular tissue) were recovered from the bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
The proteins identified included type I collagen, elastin, actin, tropomyosin, and hemoglobin, similar to proteins in vertebrates alive today.
It was hoped the study would provide insight as to how they could
have survived for ‘66 million’ years. The authors admitted: “The
identification of still-soft tissues and cellular structures in a suite
of Mesozoic [252–66 alleged million years ago] fossils and claims of
endogenous proteins [i.e. not derived from outside sources in modern
times] preserved within these materials, is controversial because it
challenges both conventional wisdom and theoretical kinetics, which
preclude the persistence of proteins over geological time scales. Data
supporting endogeneity have been viewed with scepticism, in part because
no mechanisms have been identified that could reasonably contribute to
such preservation.”
Despite the overwhelming evidence that continues to accumulate of
intact proteins in dinosaur fossils, “scepticism” persists because of
the “conventional wisdom” that these fossils are millions of years old.
Calculations from known chemistry show the proteins should have fallen
apart long ago, and no “mechanisms” are known to prevent that.
This material consistently points to the truth of the Bible’s
history; the bones belong to creatures rapidly buried in Noah’s Flood
some 4,500 years ago." CMI
