Crosslinking as a Dinosaur Soft Tissue Rescuing Device

The existence of soft tissues in dinosaur fossils has been a tremendous problem for evolutionists, so they have spent a great deal of time working at the fudge factory. (That is, fudging rescuing devices for the problem.) Some appear to mitigate the damage when important details are omitted.

A one-off anomaly or two could be set aside, but there are numerous examples of blood vessels, proteins, DNA, and all that good stuff existing for alleged millions of years. Reality sits at the back of the narrative bus; the story is more important.

Some scientists as well as Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ on teh interwebz denied their existence at first, but many are finally admitting the existence of soft tissues. They cannot get past biblical creationists who point out the facts and implications. Smug evolutionists have come up with yet another rescuing device called crosslinking. They think they can keep their deep time and use it to evosplain other things dear to their cold hearts. Logic? No thanks, we have the evolution story. They still deny evidence for recent creation, and that humans and dinosaurs coexisted, too.

Counter-evidence does not always change a person’s dogma. In a well-known fable illustrating this, a man tells his doctor, “I’m dead.” The doctor, convinced by observation that the patient is very much alive, asks him, “Do dead men bleed?” “No,” the patient replies. “Dead men do not bleed.” Upon this reply, the doctor gives the man a poke with a sterile needle, and a drop of blood oozes out of his finger. “We’ll, I’ll be!” exclaims the patient. “Dead men do bleed!”

Did evidence change the patient’s opinion? Well, yes and no!

See if that proverb applies to a story printed by Nature this week [17 March 2025].

Fossilized dinosaur cells that defied the ravages of time — 20 years since a key discovery (Nature News and Views, 17 March 2025). The Darwin-loyal scientific community is adamant that dinosaurs were wiped out 65 million years ago. ‘Old dead dinosaurs do not bleed,’ they insisted in effect. Every part of a dinosaur fossil should have long ago been replaced by minerals. After so much time, no original tissue could possibly have remained. Then, in 2005, Dr Mary Schweitzer found stretchy blood vessels inside the femur of a T. rex. Watch the reaction of a Darwin Party reporter and a leading dinosaur paleontologist in this clip from the CBS program 60 Minutes that aired shortly after the discovery was published.
