Soft Tissue Found Inside a Dinosaur Bone!

  • In 2003, an exceptionally well preserved T. rex leg bone was unearthed in the Cretaceous rocks of Montana. Upon close examination, Dr. Mary Schweitzer found the bone to contain soft tissue inside - tiny blood vessels and proteins! Some claim that this is evidence of a young Earth, a recent extinction of the dinosaurs. Could this be, or is there another explanation?
    =============
    Update: since writing the script for this video, a study came out further questioning that the tissue found belongs to the original T. rex, suggesting again that it is biofilm: rspb.royalsocietypublishing.or...
    Even more recently, a study published in Nature came out further confirming that the tissue did belong to T. rex and detailed, with much greater clarity than before, how the preservation happens: www.nature.com/articles/s4159...
    In short, scientific consensus is no longer as strong as suggested in this animation, the boat was rocked again, but it looks like it's on its way to being settled once again on the position that the soft tissue is indeed from the original T. rex.

      Ric, why would most churches not have a clue what the bible means? Did your god fail to make it clear enough? Why should I have to "unlock" anything that god gave us to know the truth? Sounds incompetent.
      BTW, there was no global flood, it really is that simple. There were many civilizations living before and during the time this flood supposedly happened, and they never noticed any flood. Also, the evidence in the rocks would show a clear pattern for the trillions of dead organisms & other debris. The flood never happened.

    • @GuitarDog_atx
      @GuitarDog_atx 5 років тому +18

      Ric, your fairy tale ain't hard to understand - I have an engineering and math degree and currently a physics major - so quit flattering your myth. Additionally, I'm a former xtian and still study the bible today. Your pathetic & condensing swipe at me is b/c you can't defend your god. You can argue with other fanatics about 1 or 2 floods. The bible is full of crap anyway.
      The fossils are NOT found jumbled up together. We've never found trilobites & kangaroos, or rabbits and raptors,.... buried in the fossil record. You are the one who is blind if you believe in a global flood. Of course you have to defend your god drowning millions of babies.
      The fact that you quoted your god saying he will cause people not hear his important message shows what a wicked god you worship. Your god wants people to hear and follow his word, so what you wrote contradicts his most important mandate. Of course your god made no attempt to get his important message to billions of natives, chinese, and Indians. He didn't try too hard & doesn't give a shit.
      If your god wasn't so incompetent with his "words", there wouldn't be more versions of xtianity than there are sentences in the bible.

      @SMILEY-bu2hj 5 років тому +1

      Guitar Jerk -- The Bible is not a book for the world to understand like a technical manual, that means its wisdom is hidden from the fools--you, for example. God hides from the wise, the proud and the wicked and reveals Himself to babes, those who are pure of heart and diligently seek Him in meekness and in truth. I know you're not about to do that nor is anyone going to force it upon you, so God will either have to bring your proud ass down to the point you realize you're nothing but a worm who needs salvation or let you continue on the way to perdition. Given your "overt atheistic" attitude the latter is most likely to occur.
      Now, ignorant blabbermouth, every single ancient civilization has a flood story that spread from mouth to mouth after Babel. It refers to the same flood except that each civilization tailored it to their our cultural mores.
      As to the evidence of the flood, your stupid "clear pattern for the trillions of dead organisms" could not exist since dead things either fossilized rather quickly in the flood or decomposed back into the ground. And just so you know about 75% of the earth's crust has sedimentary rocks. It really is that simple, simpleton.

      Sir Meow The Library Cat
      Indeed. Everything taught should be taught within a structured analysis of the lesson. Too often the material is distilled to wrote memorization with no foundational understanding of why the information is important or how it effects us. A student is left to either retain it or forget it and without the subtext it gets discarded over time, misattributed to an irrelevant claim or outright confabulated into rabid nonsense.
      Class material and lesson plans should be designed around inquiry, rather than certainty. Reason should be corequisite as a guide to learning how to research any subject for themselves and *how* to think about what they encounter in their research. In such an environment a student is more likely to retain the material but much more importantly the student walks away with a tool kit for examining *any* material presented to them. It becomes habitual and the student is able to master any subject that interests him.
      The most important thing a student should learn is how to learn.
      We don't do that much any more and we have generations of our posterity running around without the most basic notion of how to figure things out for themselves.

      While I agree to some extent, I don't think it is a very balanced presentation.
      It gives the impression that Mary's conclusions are widely and fully accepted by almost all paleontologists, but this is not the case. Many still express reservations about many of her findings, and seem to have good reasons for them.

I thought you did a great job presenting the data and the *real* situation. When I started working with scientists many years ago, their willingness to admit error and/or lack of understanding was the single aspect of the scientific discipline I found most attractive, for lots of reasons. Also, as an animator, I appreciate the hard work and attention to detail on display in your work--great to see it! It's inspiring. Great work on the video--keep 'em coming.

    "To successfully argue that her single discovery means that the fossil was actually young, she would have to ignore everyone else's careful observations."
    That hasn't stopped other people from using her discovery to argue that very thing. And, by extension, that every other Cretaceous fossil was young. And that "young" is a couple orders of magnitude less than science actually requires. And that it conveniently lines up with their pre-existing biases.

      Creationists will deny those observations per default. This is easily to understand, when you understand their goals of personal religious satisfaction. For example when we observe that the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5+ million years away it is denied. Even when the stars would cook us when they would be nearby - or the light speed (Einstein etc.) would be wrong, too.
      It makes also no sense how they argue from their own excuse argumentation. For example they believe before the flood of the bible humans, dinos and mammoth lived together.
      Why do we have neanderthal DNA and mammoth DNA but not dinosaurs living in the ice age and so on and so on.
      It makes no sense.

      "Because they have found cephalopods dating back 178 million years with wet ink in what was left of their ink sac."
      Please citation.
      All I can find is fossils with dried ink.
      And ink is not the same bloodcells. You do agree that?
      Once that stuff dries up it could become inert. They also found pigment on fossilized skin.
      "By the way, they have carbon-dated hundreds of dinosaur bones with most of them no more than 40,000 years old."
      You really should brush up on your knowledge. From a certain age upwards you cannot use carbon dating. Even if there is carbon left. For instance they cannot carbon date coal. It has to do with the ratio of two types of carbon. Everything from a certain age upward will always return the 40 or 50 thousand date mark.
      " But as Mary Schweitzer's Mentor has stated, carbon dating is not scientific."
      No, did you listen to the same dialogue that I heard an hour ago between a creationist radiohost and Horner?
      He was being polite. He should have said that the man was a moron.
      He knew it would not work and yet he wanted the dating.
      One should know the limitations of a technique but creationists never get it.
      So, get an education on radiometric dating and see where you can improve yourself.

      Hovinds data is extensively footnoted. Acedemics dont refute the referenced data. Many however disagree with some, but not all of the conclusions Hovind draws from this data. Hovind was considered a masterful debater with a powerful delivery. Because of this, academics were advised not to participate in organized debates with Hovind. There was simply nothing to gain as they would loose more often than not. The reason for this is most acedemics had little or no experience with having their positions challenged. Hovind has had nothing but challenges when he debates. By design he is the underdog in these encounters. Thus he is prepared for and expects specific attacks. By responding with calculated application of publicly published reports and data he makes compelling arguments.
      Such arguments are difficult to logically refute out of hand. Unfortunately recent discussion seems to focus less on hard data and more on personal desparagement.

That's why they go and tell the whole story of Mary Schweizer's discovery rather than simply stating her findings in a few sentences. They could have simply explained her conclusion and detailed her experiment. Instead they told the whole story so that the scientific process she went through would be clear to their audience. Thus "Stated Clearly" is an excellent name for the channel.

    Nice video. A well crafted, high quality production value.
    Narration is a touch dry; could use a little jazzing up in future productions.

    I was a young earth creationist when this story came out however many years ago. It so obviously confirmed that scientists were wrong about everything and dinosaurs lived with humans. My pastor totally agreed and used it to make me even more skeptical of the scientific elites... great vid! I think either potholer or viced rhino have both touched on this subject, but this is the most complete version of the story

      Rick Turner that line about scientists being obviously wrong and humans living with dinosaurs made my mind cringe. Glad to see you are no longer a young earther. Congrats!

      It's depressing how often YEC's cherry-pick interesting facts, assert the interpretation that fits their pre-existing worldview (never mind what the context says about that interpretation), and ignore the mountains of evidence _against_ that interpretation...before accusing the scientific community of ignoring evidence against their "scientific dogma".

      Dinosaurs still live with humans...
      All members of Aves are descendents of the raptor dinosaurians.
      But... Humans weren't around during the jurassic, and Jurassic dinosaurs weren't around when the first ancestors of modern man came down from the trees.

      Nothing about these findings lends any credence to the idea that dinosaurs lived with humans, or that the earth is young, and Mary herself has stated this.

      It is now well known, since the Stanford experiments of the 70s, that cooperation is more important to our brains than evidence. Confirmation bias is the road to cooperation. Look at the stories of people leaving extreme liberalism or extreme conservativism: near the end, these people were apologetic of their groups despite obvious bias all the way up until the point where they could no longer reconcile the obvious truth with their beliefs. Admitting you are wrong in these circumstances often gets you ejected from your group of friends, family, etc. It's hard.

    Mary looks so heroic. But it's obvious that any anomaly in paleontology must prove that the earth is 6000 years young, and Adam and Eve were literal people. Obviously.

    This woman didn't have the balls to stand up to the scientific community and say yes this proof that dinosaurs did live less than a million years ago at least my dinosaur did if you don't like it prove me wrong

      Not that I don't like that cool idea that my thousand-year old grandpa could have witnessed a Dinosaur, but having the current consensus showing models and their evidence contradicting this, it don't look like that's it. This lad even talked about how it could have lived for over millions of years, with another link showing it may not have even been from the dinosaur in his pinned comment.
