Dinosaur Bones

Dinosaur Bones with DNA

The survival of DNA within dinosaur bones would be powerful evidence against a millions-of-years age for those fossils. The findings support the view that these dinosaurs lived only 4,300 years ago and were buried during the global Flood.

Collagen and Keratin in Fossil Bones

A team in England confirmed the existence of soft skin tissue, known as keratin, in fossilized lizard skin. A team in Sweden showed that collagen has survived in the fossilized bone of a mosasaur. Since the researchers believe these fossils are 50 to 70 million years old, they need to explain how fragile biological molecules can survive so long.

Dinosaur Bones Hard for Evolutionists to Explain

Textbooks often show fossils slowly forming over time as animals lay on the ocean floor. However, real-life fossilization shows signs that it happened quickly. Soft-bodied animals like squid and jellyfish have been fossilized, as well as animals in the process of eating one another or giving birth. The global flood would have created the perfect conditions for fast fossils.
