Soft Tissue from a T-Rex

In 2005, a scientist shocked the scientific community when she published a dramatic find. In a femur bone from a fossilized T. rex her team found soft tissue: red blood cells, blood vessels, and collagen proteins that were still stretchy.

Now this find was shocking because no evolutionist expected to find soft tissue from a dinosaur that they believe died 68 million years ago. And yet here it was!

As we’ll see all this week, soft tissue simply can’t last for millions of years. This find is dramatic evidence that dinosaurs weren’t buried millions of years ago.
