Scientists study rare dinosaur skin fossil at CLS
[link to www.lightsource.ca]

'One of the only well preserved dinosaur skin samples ever found is being tested at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) synchrotron to determine skin colour and to explain why the fossilized specimen remained intact after 70-million years.

University of Regina physicist Mauricio Barbi said the hadrosaur, a duck-billed dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period (100-65 million years ago), was found close to a river bed near Grand Prairie, Alberta.

The area has a robust “bone bed” but Barbi is not yet sure why the fossil preserved so well.

“As we excavated the fossil, I thought that we were looking at a skin impression. Then I noticed a piece came off and I realized this is not ordinary – this is real skin. Everyone involved with the excavation was incredibly excited and we started discussing research projects right away.”

Barbi said this is only the third three-dimensional dinosaur skin specimen ever found worldwide.'

That is tough to tell from radiometric dating and the inherent assumptions involved with each method. If they were to do a C14 test using a AMS (Accelerated Mass Spectrometer) then some people may be surprised.

'It was big news indeed last year when Schweitzer announced she had discovered blood vessels and structures that looked like whole cells inside that T. rex bone—the first observation of its kind. The finding amazed colleagues, who had never imagined that even a trace of still-soft dinosaur tissue could survive. After all, as any textbook will tell you, when an animal dies, soft tissues such as blood vessels, muscle and skin decay and disappear over time, while hard tissues like bone may gradually acquire minerals from the environment and become fossils.'

'Geophysicist Dr John Baumgardner, part of the RATE research group,6 investigated 14C in a number of diamonds.7 There should be no 14C at all if they really were over a billion years old, yet the radiocarbon lab reported that there was over 10 times the detection limit. Thus they had a radiocarbon ‘age’ far less than a million years! Dr Baumgardner repeated this with six more alluvial diamonds from Namibia, and these had even more radiocarbon.

The presence of radiocarbon in these diamonds where there should be none is thus sparkling evidence for a ‘young’ world, as the Bible records.'

According to the bible, there were six days of creation.
On the first day he created the earth.
On the fourth day he created the sun, moon, and the stars.

Now let's say the earth is 6,000 years old.
This pegs the universes age at 6,000 years old since earth was the first object created in the universe.

For example, the Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away from earth meaning it has been there for at least 2.5 million light years. If the universe was only 6,000 years old, the light from the Andromeda galaxy wouldn't have reached us yet.

In short, universe is freaking old and earth was not the first thing to happen.

Light year = the distance light has traveled in a (earth) year. It's a measure of both distance and time that light travels.

Point is, if 2.5 million years hadn't passed, we wouldn't see the Andromeda galaxy. If the universe was only 6,000 years old, it would take 2,4994,000 years for observers on earth to see the light from the Andromeda galaxy.

Not only does gravity affect time, but the speed of light is not constant. There have been several experiments indicating that the speed of light is slowing down (Setterfield, etc).

'The early measurements typically tracked the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter when the planet was near the Earth and compared it with observations when then planet was farther away. These observations were standard, simple and repeatable, and have been measured by astronomers since the invention of the telescope. These are demonstrated to astronomy students even today. The early astronomers kept meticulous notes and sketches, many of which are still available.

Setterfield expected to see the recorded speeds grouped around the accepted value for light speed, roughly 299,792 kilometers /second. In simple terms, half of the historic measurements should have been higher and half should be lower.

What he found defied belief: The derived light speeds from the early measurements were significantly faster than today. Even more intriguing, the older the observation, the faster the speed of light. A sampling of these values is listed below:

In 1738: 303,320 +/- 310 km/second
In 1861: 300,050 +/- 60 km/second
In 1877: 299,921 +/- 13 km/second
In 2004: 299,792 km/second (accepted constant)
Setterfield teamed with statistician Dr. Trevor Norman and demonstrated that, even allowing for the clumsiness of early experiments, and correcting for the multiple lenses of early telescopes and other factors related to technology, the speed of light was discernibly higher 100 years ago, and as much as 7 percent higher in the 1700s.'

Answer: Because it is NOT 70 million years old.

Scientists are so attached to the lie of evolution that they cannot even comprehend reality when it is right in front of their face - or in their hand, as it were.
