Segment 2: Is Rexy really 65 million years old
Sep 28
Scripture reveals that all land creatures and man were created by God on day six of the creation week. When one calculates the geneology from Adam to Christ, we are looking at 4,000 years of history. From the time of Christ until now, another 2,000 years (A total of 6,000 years). So it is not surprising that the notion that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago has come to a serious road block with Dr. Mary Schweitzer's discovery of fresh dinosaur tissue. Even Discover magazine entitled the find as 'Schweitzer's Dangerous Discovery'. Why is it dangerous?
When this shy palaeontologist found soft, fresh looking, tissue inside a T-Rex femur there was a curious unwillingness in the scientific community to believe the finding. Even to the point that Dr. Schweitzer was having a hard time trying to get her work published in scientific journals.
'I had one reviewer tell me that he didn't care what the data said, he knew that what I was finding wasn't possible', says Schweitzer. 'I wrote back and said 'Well, what data would convince you? And he said, "None."
Schweitzer can understand why so many are sceptical. 'If you take a blood sample, and you stick it on a shelf, you have nothing recognizable in about a week', she says adding, 'So why would there be anything left in dinosaurs?
Why indeed. Unless of course they haven't been extinct for millions of years, and their remains were preserved quickly by unusual event (perhaps a global flood?). Schweitzer says of the moment she found these blood cells in the 1990's, 'I got goose bumps, because everyone knows these things don't last for 65 million years"
Schweitzer recounts how, after that first discovery, she noticed that a T-Rex skeleton (from Hell Creek, Montana) had a distinctly cadaverous odour. When she mentioned this to long-time Palaeontologist Jack Horner, he said 'Oh yeah, all Hell Creek bones smell.
So ingrained is the notion among palaeontologists that dinosaurs bones must be millions of years old instead of thousands which the Bible reveals, that the 'smell of death' doesn't even register with them - despite the evidenced being right under their noses.
