The rate at which soft tissue decays would not allow a hundred thousand years, let alone eighty million years. 1 Perhaps the most spectacular include soft tissues in fossils, such as the elastic blood vessels from an "80 million year old" hadrosaur described in Science in early 2009. Scientifically, this situation is odd, because there are so many natural processes that indicate a young world. Vast time is so fully branded into our thinking that it has gained an unquestioned status, even when solid evidence is presented to the contrary.Īs a result, one who doubts deep time faces the tough challenge of remaining unaffected by its prevalence in our culture.
