<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-216" title="dino blood" src="http://www.stuffworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dino-blood.jpg" alt="dino blood" width="300" height="229" />To the right you can see a picture of T. rex bone tissue described as “soft,” “fibrous,” “flexible,” and “resilient”.  This tissue is a combination of blood cells and connective tissue that is currently undergoing debate.  It seems that there are 2 lines of theory associated with this discovery:</p>
<ol>
<li>The blood &amp; connective tissue of this T. rex has survived for over 65,000,000 years and preserved due to unknown curcumstances that <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-217" title="dino blood 2" src="http://www.stuffworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dino-blood-2-300x229.jpg" alt="dino blood 2" width="300" height="229" />cannot be explained but must be true based on the idea that the evolutionary model of science and history cannot be questioned.</li>
<li>The blood &amp; connective tissue of this T. rex has survived for over 4000 years since the time when it was burried during Noah&#8217;s Flood as described in the Bible in Genesis 7 &amp; 8.</li>
</ol>
<p>Neither group is willing to accept the explaination that the other side gives, however, one of the top research scientists who made the discovery is taking pause to consider what it could mean. </p>
<p>In an article published in Science in 1993 called  &#8221;Dino DNA: The Hunt and the Hype&#8221; by Virginia Morell,  there is an article that referenced then-recent findings of fresh dinosaur tissue:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mary Schweitzer, a biology graduate student at Montana State University&#8217;s Museum of the Rockies, was examining a thin section of Tyrranosaurus rex bone…when she noticed a series of peculiar structures. Round and tiny and nucleated, they were threaded through the bone like red blood cells in blood vessels. But blood cells in a dinosaur bone should have disappeared eons ago. &#8220;I got goose bumps,&#8221; recalls Schweitzer. &#8220;It was exactly like looking at a slice of modern bone. But, of course, I couldn&#8217;t believe it. I said to the lab technician: &#8216;The bones, after all, are 65 million years old. How could blood cells survive that long?&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It will be interesting to see how evolutionary scientists decide to explain how that blood and connective tissue was able to survive for the supposed 65,000,000 years that they claim it did.</p>
