The presence of tissue and biomolecules in dinosaur fossils presents a significant challenge to the assigned date of these fossils. Can tissue (aggregates of interconnected cells) retain its natural, flexible characteristics in so-called ancient fossils? Can cells within this tissue retain their structural integrity and morphology? Can biomolecules (such as protein and polysaccharides) actually survive 70+ million years inside a fossilized and buried bone? What natural process would enable this preservation? The answer to these questions directly challenges the current, evolutionary biased, geologic time scale. In turn, this tissue also challenges accepted ideas of evolutionary change. Work by the Creation Research Society continues to contest preservation models that have been proposed by the evolution establishment.
