Finding dinosaur DNA is as unthinkable to an evolutionist as finding a
flat earth would be to a geographer. This is because DNA decays far too
quickly to last millions of years. Thus, a recent report of possible
dinosaur DNA promises to meet resistance from secular scientists. But
combined with new DNA decay data, it builds a strong argument against
evolutionary time.
Fossil experts have studied original dinosaur tissues and
biochemicals for a long time. When tyrannosaur and hadrosaur bones from
Montana were viewed under a microscope, they were found to harbor
fresh-looking bone cells called osteocytes. Researchers even verified
original—not mineralized—dinosaur proteins called collagen and elastin
in 2009.1
The new report in the journal Bone identified vertebrate-specific proteins named actin and PHEX. It also described DNA in the dinosaur cells.2
Many secular scientists have sought to resolve the dilemma of
fast-decaying biochemicals found deep within fossils by asserting that
bacteria produced them after creeping into the bone sometime after the
creatures were catastrophically buried. One way to help disprove the
bacteria idea is to find exclusively animal proteins.
The researchers did just that. They also applied two different
DNA-sensitive stains to the osteocytes. Both stains visualized DNA in a
central location inside the long-dead dinosaur cells—where the cell’s
nucleus should be….
