In 2003 there was a T Rex found in Montana. The femur bone was too large to load in the helicopter so they cut it in half. Inside was software tissue, red, squishy. meat looking, blood cells. Clearly not 65 millino years old.
Dinosaurs are extinct because the world after the flood is not conducive to such large and long living creatures as it used to be.
We do know the creature died and was encased in sandstone, which is quite consistent with the flood.

Desperate to convince people that you know better than the experts, rather than being a laughable ignoramus? It might work if your audience is 2nd graders.
The only trouble is that most of their audience is just as pig-ignorant as they are...

Dinosaurs are extinct because a comet hit the earth and killed most living things.

No, there wasn't. The only vaguely true bit of that is that a small amount of FOSSILISED soft tissue was found in the T-Rex femur, where it had been preserved due to anaerobic conditions. Soft tissue very rarely fossilises, for obvious reasons - it either rots or gets eaten (same thing, really), so the discovery was indeed a big deal, but let me re-emphasise, the soft tissue preserved within the fossilised bone was itself FOSSILISED. Consider yourself pwned.
If dinosaurs became extinct during the flood (in the book of genesis..the first book of the bible), then why do you STUPID ASS creationists use the "Behemoth" in the book of Job as a proof that dinosaurs and man stood side by side.
Honestly, you Cretins are fucking ignorant bullies.

See especially the part about quoting magazine articles out of context as if they were scientific papers.
Fixed.
Unfortunately, it never matters how many times you debunk these claims. Some self-interested party will wind up another automaton an send him off to spew the same tired talking points like a broken record.

"The femur bone was too large to load in the helicopter so they cut it in half."
Strange that palaeontologists, who take such pains to preserve the bone and matrix of their finds, would resort to their saw at the first set back.
Strange too that a group of palaeontologists looking for dinosaur fossils would not expect to find a bone as large as a Tyrannosaur femur. Particularly given that T.rex is by no means exceptionally large for a dinosaur.
Strange that they would hire a helicopter incapable of carrying a 500lb load as a single item, when even the ubiquitous Bell Jet Ranger can transport three times that weight. Or one unable to accommodate an item 5 foot in length.
Two possibilities present themselves:
A) These are particularly stupid and incompetent palaeontologists with money enough to afford helicopter support, but not to afford to hire anyone who knows what they are doing[*]. Which would be a good enough reason to doubt their 'findings'.
B) The whole story is a fabrication.
[* Yes, well funded but terminally inept scientists do exist. Just look at the Discover Institute.]
"Dinosaurs are extinct because the world after the flood is not conducive to such large and long living creatures as it used to be. "any forms of life. Not only would it have killed the Dinosaurs it would have killed everything else as well.
Software... tissue...
It's a robosaur?
I actually remember seeing something about this on TV...think it was the Discovery Channel or some such program. However, the moron got a few details wrong.
Like the fact that they didn't find "red, squishy, meat looking, blood cells." They were running tests on the dinosaur's bones and when a sample was exposed to a chemical solution that dissolves minerals, they found that it left behind tissue that became elastic once again.
It's really quite an interesting read, and one worth looking over considering AnswersInGenesis is already starting up a fap-fest and we're gonna be seeing more of these types of crap arguments.

Where else has a recent flood created sandstone?
Inside was software tissue, red, squishy. meat looking, blood cells.
Inside was soft material that appeared to have collagen proteins in it. The collagen is similar to that found in birds. Now that support for evolution has switched more to genetics than fossils, the finding of dinosaur soft material is more likely to be just another nail in the creationist coffin. Besides, even in the unlikely event that a T Rex was alive recently, so what? The coelacanths were thought to have gone extinct around the same time as T Rex, and they found them alive and happy in 1938.
Dinosaurs are extinct because the world after the flood is not conducive to such large and long living creatures as it used to be.
Where does the Bible say anything remotely like that? Gen. 6:3 says that before the Flood, God lowered the lifespans of people to 120 years. Only He didn't, since people continued to live for 400 or more years.
Inside was software tissue, red, squishy. meat looking, blood cells.
Seriously: I urge anyone with a working braincell to contact Yahoo Answers, and any other "user-edited" online research-type tools out there, and demand the introduction of anti-moron policies regarding the alteration of information by users. My kid sister can't even do research for a school paper because of crap like this!
Inside was software tissue, red, squishy. meat looking, blood cells.
They had computers back then? How did those tiny arms use the keyboard?
Another prime example of why the National Geographic and Scientific American don't hire fundies. They latch on one fact, they don't understand, then misrepresent the implications of said fact. When it comes to fundies ALL witnessing is bearing false witness.
[Dinosaurs are extinct because the world after the flood is not conducive to such large and long living creatures as it used to be. ]
The Dino's died because a comet hit the earth and it caused a major temperature and climate change that they couldn't adapt to.
You learn this stuff in like, the 3rd grade.
Dinosaurs are extinct because the world after the flood is not conducive to such large and long living creatures as it used to be.
Yet the blue whale, living today, is larger than any dinosaur that ever existed.
"Inside was software tissue, red, squishy. meat looking, blood cells. Clearly not 65 millino years old."
So, the blue screen of death killed the dinosaurs.
You used a fundie site, one dedicated to forward their fundie agenda, to hell with the truth, as your proof and source?
Reality and you aren't acquainted, are you?
A rival group of palaeontologists claimed last summer that what the first group had found was in fact a modern bacterial slime coating the surfaces of the fossil. They backed it up by carbon-dating the 'T. rex tissue' as no older than the 1950s.
Either way, the jury's still out on this one.
In the future, you may just want to say "In 2003, non sequitur." It would save everyone a lot of time, including yourself.
"Inside was software tissue, red, squishy. meat looking, blood cells."
Creationist bullshit tacked on to a legit story? Check.
Bizarre yet hilarious typos? CHECK!
"The femur bone was too large to load in the helicopter so they cut it in half. Inside was software tissue, red, squishy. meat looking, blood cells. Clearly not 65 millino years old."
Would that tissue even survive in that state a few thousand years like he's suggesting??
Red Squishy Meat? Clearly not 4000 years old. Have you ever seen 4000 year old meat in the supermarket?
I'm going to get myself bigger guns in case of a T Rex attack. Maybe they are just in Montana, but I'm not taking chances.
Yes, a site named detectingdesign.com can surely be counted on to be a font of totally accurate and unbiased information.
BTW, the world after the flood is not conducive to anything living, so it's just as well that it never happened, eh?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
