Dinosaur tracks from 69.99 million years before the divine creation of the earth.
Could it be?

Supposedly 65 million year old dinosaur bones found with muscle, connective tissue, blood cells still attached….

You have not dealt with this:“The proteins were recovered from a hadrosaur femur that had been encased in sandstone, which appears to prevent complete tissue degradation, Asara said. “
In other words, why is it impossible for protein molecules to survive that long?

This one is a load of nonsense, emphasised by gems like this:“The evolutionist source LiveScience.com reports, “Land Speed Record: Mountain Moves 62 Miles in 30 Minutes.”
Is that biological 'evolutionists' who are the source of such things? What would they know about geology?
Unless they mean to say the geological time scale…

Regarding soft tissue fossils, the Holy Wikipedia includes this in its article on fossils:
Preservation of soft tissues is rare in the fossil record.
That is rare, not impossible or unheard of.

It would seem that it is only a tenet of creationism that soft tissue fossilisation is impossible.

So what?Doesn't disprove God.
Might disprove the 6000 year old earth theory, but that doesn't disprove what is in scripture.I am sure that there were many ages before this one.

Good to see the 6,000 year lie does not have you in its thrall t8!Stuart
I think there are extremists on both sides of this debate.
Extremists have a way of getting most coverage by the press.
So people hear their views more than they should.Quote (t8 @ Nov. 10 2009,19:48) I think there are extremists on both sides of this debate.

What debate?Stuart
Quote (t8 @ Nov. 18 2009,14:16) Don't worry about it.
If you are saying there is no debate, then I agree.Stuart

David!You've missed nothing. It's all coprolites here too.

When you claim to believe that nothing is the cause of all things, it means that your brain originated from nothing according to your own belief.I close my case.

“In the beginning [of creation], God created the heavens and the earth.”The Bible doesn't state when this took place. This could have been 14 billion years ago. And I know the earth isn't 14 billion years old. But understand that chapter 1 of Genesis is about the earth. But to begin, we have to be told that the earth didn't always exist. Verse one isn't extremely specific, but I understand it to mean:
“In the beginning God created everything, all matter, including the earth [of which we are about to discuss]”Or, “God created the heavens (universe) including the earth.”
This doesn't have to mean that the universe and the earth were created at the same moment. The earth is a part of the universe, and the matter came about at that moment.
Then, Genesis gets more specific and starts looking at the days (Epochs) of creation.
Anyway, since these verses aren't really specific at all, it's hard to make an argument against them.
Stu, rather, you should study dinosaur poop for a while. It's fascinating. Some of the coprolites have bone in them. Do you know how easy it is to get dinosaur poop? Very.

You would be right about that, logically.Why? Who is claiming that?

You have no way of determining that it was not 6,000 years ago. Once you assert magic happened, you have to be prepared to acknowledge that the magic could include your own deception.Quote But understand that chapter 1 of Genesis is about the earth. But to begin, we have to be told that the earth didn't always exist. Verse one isn't extremely specific, but I understand it to mean:
“In the beginning God created everything, all matter, including the earth [of which we are about to discuss]” Or, “God created the heavens (universe) including the earth.” This doesn't have to mean that the universe and the earth were created at the same moment. The earth is a part of the universe, and the matter came about at that moment.
That could be all part of the magic, or maybe not. Physics says that the matter is still being created…and destroyed. Does it mention that in Genesis too, or are you just trying to stretch natural history to make it fit Genesis again?Quote Then, Genesis gets more specific and starts looking at the days (Epochs) of creation. Anyway, since these verses aren't really specific at all, it's hard to make an argument against them.
Or indeed any argument for them!Quote Stu, rather, you should study dinosaur poop for a while. It's fascinating. Some of the coprolites have bone in them. Do you know how easy it is to get dinosaur poop? Very.
I believe you! I am sure it is available in both literal and metaphorical.Stuart
