MORE EVIDENCE CONFIRMS DINOSAURS BURIED IN NOAH’S FLOOD ABOUT 4000 YEARS AGO

In 2005 the first popularized find of dinosaur soft tissue rocked the scientific world, and many refused to believe it was real, despite the evidence, because “soft tissue can’t last that long.” But subsequent studies, including a brand-new one, have confirmed that, yes, the soft tissue is original to the fossil.

In this new study, researchers used advanced mass spectrometry and protein sequencing to detect bone collagen in a well-preserved hip bone from an Edmontosaurus uncovered in the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. This unexpected find is encouraging other researchers to pull fossils out of storage and look at them with these new technologies. And why? The experts hope they will uncover the biochemical pathways that enabled the preservation of organic compounds over millions of years. How these proteins could remain for millions of years is a big mystery. Evolutionists try as they might, have yet to be able to present a plausible explanation for the existence of soft tissue in supposedly ancient fossils.

A better interpretation starts with God’s Word. The fossils aren’t millions of years old—they are only about 4,350 years old. They are a stark reminder of God’s judgment on a sin-filled world but also of his mercy in preserving Noah, his family, and two of every kind of land animal (seven pairs of some) onboard the ark.

DINOSAUR FOSSILS ARE NOT MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD

SOFT TISSUE, PROTEINS, AND DNA IN DINO BONES

When scientists first discovered dinosaur soft tissue, many evolutionists insisted that these findings had to be mistaken. There was no way, they said, that soft tissue could last millions of years. Of course, they would not consider the option that dinosaur bones are not that old. However, the sheer number of examples in the scientific literature, combined with lots of rigorous testing, exposes that these discoveries are quite common. At the time of writing, there are over 58 dinosaur soft tissue discoveries spanning thirty scientific journals. And most are from just the last decade.

Dinosaur soft tissue is not the only dinosaur evidence that defies evolution. To date, at least three separate tests have indicated the presence of dinosaur DNA. Two of these tested positive using a DAPI test. This is a highly specific test that allowed the researchers to confirm the presence of double-stranded, double-helical DNA.Display footnote number:15 The stain DAPI cleaves to the minor groove of a stable double helix, so the test confirmed the presence of original dinosaur DNA. This finding cannot be explained away as contamination since the DNA was not found anywhere else except in certain internal regions of the cells. The researchers were even able to observe dinosaur DNA in its condensed chromosomal form, suggesting that the nuclear material was largely intact.Display footnote number:16

DNA is a highly unstable chemical molecule. Living creatures have many intricate repair systems to undo the chemical damages to DNA; otherwise, they would quickly die. After death, the repair machines stop working, and DNA breaks down very rapidly, as shown by the below table based on measured DNA in moa (large extinct flightless birds) bones from New Zealand.Display footnote number:17, 18

As per the laws of chemistry (Arrhenius rate law), chemical reaction rates are exponentially dependent on temperature.Display footnote number:20 So the DNA decays much more quickly at higher temperatures. As can be seen, even under the best-preserved freezing conditions at -5oC, DNA is believed to have an upper age limit of 6.83 million years.Display footnote number:21 This is only about 10% of the assumed evolutionary age for the extinction of dinosaurs. But at 15°C and 10,000 years, the average length of DNA would be about 13 base pairs (BP). This is important because if it were much less than 13 BP, it could not form the groove needed for DNA to test positive using DAPI. This is a huge problem for the idea of millions of years.Display footnote number:22 But the observations are in the right ballpark if the dinosaur bones were only buried a few thousand years ago during the time of the biblical Flood.Display footnote number:23

EVIDENCE FOR WORLDWIDE FLOOD OF NOAH’S DAY

Dinosaur fossils show strong evidence that they were formed by Noah’s Flood. A worldwide flood best explains their formation processes, their death postures, and the surrounding sediments.

There are many dinosaur mass graveyards, which show that the rock layers involved were laid down quickly. The bones in them are frequently mixed with marine fossils, showing that something brought the remains of sea and land creatures together.

The ‘dinosaur death pose’, with necks and tails bent backward, is evidence of water submersion around the time of death.

Armoured dinosaur fossils found upside-down indicate that, shortly after death, the carcasses were floating, capsized (heavy side down), and were abruptly buried in that position. Dinosaurs petrified in fighting poses also point to a cataclysmic watery burial. Also, these rock layers are often very wide, even spanning continents. Therefore, the cause of these layers was worldwide.

Enlightment philosophers began to take over the earth sciences beginning in the late 1700’s. They established naturalism as the basis of knowledge. The supernatural was excluded from science. Uniformitarianism became the axiom for earth sciences and creation and Noah’s Flood were relegated to the category: myths and legends. Fortunately in the 1960’s, Drs John Whitcomb (1924-2020) and Henry Morris (1918-2006), as well as many other scientists, began seriously looking to see if scientific obseervations realy did contradict the Bible. They discovered much data supporting the straightforward reading of Scripture, epecially the Creation, Flood, and Babel accounts in Genesis 1-11.

Biblical scientists realise that the assumptions of evolution and creation are based on the scientists worldview and are examples of historical science. Using the Biblical Flood Model they made many exciting discoveries about what the earth was like before the Flood, what the Flood accomplished, and the long-term results of the Flood. A creation scientist would say that the Bible is the key to the past, and they would have a lot of material to back that up. Can I suggest the book Biblical Geology 101 by Michael Oard and Dr Robert Carter. It is an easy to read book with many pictures. You will learn how rocks are formed, how they change over time, and how Noah’s Flood impacted the world.

The beginning of wisdom is to fear God so hopefully the reality of Noah’s Flood when God destroyed all of mankind except one family will make you reconsider your worldview.
