@jouc12 Atomic theory explains how atoms act , cellular theory explains the mechanics of cells , gravitational theory explains gravity , evolution theory explains the mechanisms of evolution .Theory doesnt mean its occurance is non factual or hypothetical . Now you have a better understanding of the word theory you are now in the 5% of the science literate concerning the usage of this word(although there is more) .

@jouc12 Here are the simple facts which fudamentalists cant wrap their heads around .Evolution is a fact and has been proven to be a fact in these seperate fields of science: paleontology , medicine , genetics - DNA/genome maping, biological observations in the lab and in the wild. Fundamentalism can be cured through knowledge and curiosity and a desire to learn .Use your computer and read up on the subject . Note that creationist top leaders are all millionares profitering off of ignorance.

@jouc12 The whole point is that creationists dont even know the meaning of the word "theory". Theory explains the phonomena in depth .Atomic theory , gravitaional theory , cellular theory , theory of realativity ALL expalin the phonomena. Evolution has more evidence and colaboration than any other theory in science . Evolution is a fact the theory explains its mechanisms.

@flyingscience I know how it is used by the faithful. The fact remains that evolutionist continue to ignore the facts to keep it alive. If evolution is the best explanation then they wouldn't need to do so.

@jouc12 7 months have gone by . Most creationists cant define what theory actualy means . The word is missused by the public because science illiteracy is so high .Theory is not to be confused with theoretical or hypothesis .Look up videos on evolution as fact and theory to have it explained to you .

i resd the book dino mummy

The tissue on these mummified dinosaurs isn't actually soft, though. It's a fossilized skin.

[jouc12]

@KrisMayeaux The point of it is to keep the theory of evolution alive. Science has to be ignored in order for evolution to remain a theory. Otherwise the theory is finished.

@KrisMayeaux I agree and I can imagine that Jurassic Park is pretty close around the corner.....

This is not the only dinosaur fossil with soft tissu. More and more are being tested resulting in soft tissue. One of the scientists states that "We don't know as much about decay as we thought". I am just wondering why they didn't consider the other possibility, namely that maybe our dating is flawed. After all, it's hard to imagine a 65-80 million year old fossil still having soft tissue! Scientific dating theory states that no soft tissue remains after 100,000 years!
