Lawsuit: CSUN Scientist Fired After Soft Tissue Found On Dinosaur Fossil
2014-07-26
"Upon examination of the horn under a high-powered microscope back at CSUN, Dacus says Armitage was “fascinated” to find soft tissue on the sample – a discovery Bacus said stunned members of the school’s biology department and even some students 'because it indicates that dinosaurs roamed the earth only thousands of years in the past rather than going extinct 60 million years ago.'"

#7  KT boundary, perhaps that should be the KFC boundary.

#6  The world was made in six days and finished on the seventh
According to the contract it should have been the 11th
But the painters wouldn't paint and the workers wouldn't work
So the quickest thing to do was to fill it up with dirt

#5  Check out "The Trouble With Physics" by Lee Smolin and you'll see how vicious the physics community can be if someone dares question Hawking and String Theory.

Scientists are vicious defenders of their dogma.

#4  The last time I checked the 'settled science', birds are a direct evolutionary decedents of the thunder lizards. It appears man and dinosaurs do co-exist, just not the whole time line. I prefer this part where my evolved species dines on their evolved species rather than the before the KT boundary. IIRC, crocs have survived two major 'adjustments' which includes the KT boundary with relatively minor evolutionary development, compared to others.

#3  Well I am a creationist that believes creation and evolution are the opposite sides of the same coin. Evolution does not explain the creation of life only its progression. I do not see a conflict between the creation story in the Bible and geological records because God told Isaiah that to God, 10,000 year is as a day and a day is as 10,000 years meaning that God being out of time and space has no temporal limits and the "day" of creation is symbolic and a story told to the children of Israel so they could comprehend creation without having to understand science.

The real issue here is NOT creation but the fact that Dr. Bacus is an outspoken Christian and he was fired for his FAITH and perhaps the violation of a scientific paradigm (you know how vicious scientists are when their pet turf is threatened by new ideas and discoveries...witness Clovis First and other groups that pillory anyone who tries to contradict their holy grail of paradigm) You have to read T. S. Kuhn to understand how bad it is in academia for free thinkers.

#2  Probably another paper that is going to be retracted, and the tech gets the blame.

#1  Well we've got the newly discovered Coelacath, along with Pelosi and Reid. I blame an inconvenient truth.
