The author of this article challenges the readers to cite a case of unfossilized dinosaur bone. The Smithsonian, and many other journals have reported on the find of T. rex bone complete with marrow cells and red blood cells.

As far as "Caron 14 has not come to balance in the atmosphere," this can be clearly seen in the recent Nature article at
http://www.nature.com/stemcells/2009/0904/090409/full/stemcells.2009.58.html"After the Second World War, tests of nuclear bombs spewed carbon-14 pollution into the atmosphere. This isotope was incorporated into plants and the people who consumed them."
Who's to say that similar events did not occur resulting in incorpration (or lack thereof) with different radioisotopes?
Thanks again for posting to allexperts!

Ok first of all there are too many assumption for the variable for the formula. Take for instance mt. St. Hellens after it blew they too samples and found it to be millions of years old yet we know it was laid less than a hundred years ago. As far as the soft tissue in the medical science community its proven that the soft tissue in bob the female trex cannot be millions but mere thousands of years old. Also there have been c-14 tests on many dinosaur bones that put them in the 9- 19 thousand year range. But even so you're in this last response he posted that c- 14 is still entering the atmosphere at different rates. So that deffinetly blows the whole equasion up. The tables used for radiometric dating comes from a sample that is quoted at the said age like say the trex died 65million years ago. How they get that original figure is from a book written in
1830 by charls lyndale if I remember correctly. He put the age of the rocks by identification fossils and that's how they place the date to the fossils by were they lay. The problem there is at that time no carbon or radiometric dating were even thought of. It was all assumption. Have an evolutionist try to explain that one.
