[/quote] Oh look, a fence sitter came in to tell us he's smarter than both sides. You're not. Creationism and evolution can't both be correct, and evolution is observable. [/quote] I'm non religious and don't feel that macro evolution has yet been explained. Micro-evolution is fine, I'm good with that. Personally, I think that DNA is intelligent. [/quote] What do you mean by macroevolution and how hasn't it been explained? [/quote] I'm fine with natural selection causing beaks to get larger or fur to get lighter. (mirco-evolution) How do the giant leaps take place? So, lets say a there are animals with 3 chromosomes and we say to ourselves oh, they "evolved" into that different animal with 4 chromosomes. example: Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and other great apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes So, I can imagine on some weird day after being near radiation...a 3-chromosome animal has a baby and it has 4 chromosomes! Voila! macro evolution has taken place. But where does the new, never-been-seen-before, 4-chromosome animal find a mate to have sex with? The sperm and the egg have to have the same number of chromosomes. There have to be the same number of rungs on the twisting ladder of life! And of course, there is the FIRST living thing with genetic material. Where they heck did that come from? (another UN-explained giant leap). Cosmic stew, right? hmm [/quote] Typically, micro evolution refers to changes within a species, while macro evolution refers to changes above the level of species. Both have been observed. About chromosomes, did you know that people with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome? Horses and donkeys have different numbers of chromosomes, they almost certainly came from a common ancestor, and when they breed you get a mule that is usually (but not always) sterile. So we have observable examples of what you're asking for. How life started in the first place is a separate subject to evolution, but the most popular idea as far as natural explanations go is abiogenesis. This is the creation of life from non living matter. The miller Urey experiment demonstrated that minerals can produce organic material when exposed to electricity and the correct atmosphere. Later experiments have revealed that self replicating RNA can naturally assemble from the raw materials in the right environment, and RNA can form ribosomes that build nucleotides, which can form DNA. The RNA world hypothesis suggests that life came about through a process like this. [/quote]
Original Message
The discovery of tyrannosaurus soft tissue is enough to cost this scientist her job. The implications are that the infamous dinosaur can be no older than several thousand years, twelve thousand max. This significant discovery should be enough to at least cause a revision of natural history. interview of scientist who found the soft tissue begins at 1:25 by 60 Minutes.
At 25 minutes they speak pertaining to the blood vessels found in these "fossils".
