Update: since writing the script for this video, a new study came out that does a bit to weaken the consensus that the tissue found belongs to the original T. rex: rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/284/1855/20170544
Ric, why would most churches not have a clue what the bible means? Did your god fail to make it clear enough? Why should I have to "unlock" anything that god gave us to know the truth? Sounds incompetent. BTW, there was no global flood, it really is that simple. There were many civilizations living before and during the time this flood supposedly happened, and they never noticed any flood. Also, the evidence in the rocks would show a clear pattern for the trillions of dead organisms & other debris. The flood never happened.
Ric, your fairy tale ain't hard to understand - I have an engineering and math degree and currently a physics major - so quit flattering your myth. Additionally, I'm a former xtian and still study the bible today. Your pathetic & condensing swipe at me is b/c you can't defend your god. You can argue with other fanatics about 1 or 2 floods. The bible is full of crap anyway. The fossils are NOT found jumbled up together. We've never found trilobites & kangaroos, or rabbits and raptors,.... buried in the fossil record. You are the one who is blind if you believe in a global flood. Of course you have to defend your god drowning millions of babies. The fact that you quoted your god saying he will cause people not hear his important message shows what a wicked god you worship. Your god wants people to hear and follow his word, so what you wrote contradicts his most important mandate. Of course your god made no attempt to get his important message to billions of natives, chinese, and Indians. He didn't try too hard & doesn't give a shit. If your god wasn't so incompetent with his "words", there wouldn't be more versions of xtianity than there are sentences in the bible.
Guitar Jerk -- The Bible is not a book for the world to understand like a technical manual, that means its wisdom is hidden from the fools--you, for example. God hides from the wise, the proud and the wicked and reveals Himself to babes, those who are pure of heart and diligently seek Him in meekness and in truth. I know you're not about to do that nor is anyone going to force it upon you, so God will either have to bring your proud ass down to the point you realize you're nothing but a worm who needs salvation or let you continue on the way to perdition. Given your "overt atheistic" attitude the latter is most likely to occur. Now, ignorant blabbermouth, every single ancient civilization has a flood story that spread from mouth to mouth after Babel. It refers to the same flood except that each civilization tailored it to their our cultural mores. As to the evidence of the flood, your stupid "clear pattern for the trillions of dead organisms" could not exist since dead things either fossilized rather quickly in the flood or decomposed back into the ground. And just so you know about 75% of the earth's crust has sedimentary rocks. It really is that simple, simpleton.
6:36 except the scientific community totally turned on her and she lost all credibility, and was stripped of her funding. This was her reward for making such an important discovery. She then had to scramble for an explanation in order to save her career.
@@glencarbon2533 Pretty much every article written post "discovery". But if you must have one handed to you (see bottom of article) - www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/09/i-don-t-care-what-they-say-about-me-paleontologist-stares-down-critics-her-hunt. The article also states that no one has been able to replicate her results.
😸 This is how to present a lesson! Expertly structured, paced and illustrated without overwhelming your audience. Teachers of any subject would benefit so much by incorporating your approach in their classes! Kindest regards from a retired English teacher.
Sir Meow The Library Cat Indeed. Everything taught should be taught within a structured analysis of the lesson. Too often the material is distilled to wrote memorization with no foundational understanding of why the information is important or how it effects us. A student is left to either retain it or forget it and without the subtext it gets discarded over time, misattributed to an irrelevant claim or outright confabulated into rabid nonsense. Class material and lesson plans should be designed around inquiry, rather than certainty. Reason should be corequisite as a guide to learning how to research any subject for themselves and *how* to think about what they encounter in their research. In such an environment a student is more likely to retain the material but much more importantly the student walks away with a tool kit for examining *any* material presented to them. It becomes habitual and the student is able to master any subject that interests him. The most important thing a student should learn is how to learn. We don't do that much any more and we have generations of our posterity running around without the most basic notion of how to figure things out for themselves.
While I agree to some extent, I don't think it is a very balanced presentation. It gives the impression that Mary's conclusions are widely and fully accepted by almost all paleontologists, but this is not the case. Many still express reservations about many of her findings, and seem to have good reasons for them.
And yet they won't let people carbon test the fossil, remember how Galileo's astronomy was rejected even by other scientists of his day? Also watch the Will Smith movie Concussion, the scientist in that (who was religious mind you) researched the real degenerative brain disease caused by football games and kept getting discredited by the NFL who had a lot of influence over things.
Before claiming something about carbon dating you should understand the method and when and how to use it. Stated clearly has even a cideo on that: th-cam.com/video/eNY8xC3raDY/w-d-xo.html
Option 7: these were cyborg dinosaurs that were mechanised by an yet undiscovered civilization. The iron-rich environment that their bones were in was due to the mechanical parts.
"To successfully argue that her single discovery means that the fossil was actually young, she would have to ignore everyone else's careful observations." That hasn't stopped other people from using her discovery to argue that very thing. And, by extension, that every other Cretaceous fossil was young. And that "young" is a couple orders of magnitude less than science actually requires. And that it conveniently lines up with their pre-existing biases.
@Krona If i found a sunken ship with money in it, one way to know when it was built is to check the dates on the coins. If i find 100 coins with dates of 600 years and only ONE with 1900, the conclusion would be that the ship was around 1900 and not around 600 even though its only one coin.
I enjoyed this one. I work at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, where Dr. Schweitzer was cross-posted, and I've spoken to her informally about this matter. I thought you did a great job presenting the data and the *real* situation. When I started working with scientists many years ago, their willingness to admit error and/or lack of understanding was the single aspect of the scientific discipline I found most attractive, for lots of reasons. Also, as an animator, I appreciate the hard work and attention to detail on display in your work--great to see it! It's inspiring. Great work on the video--keep 'em coming.
My only question is, why did not this observed more commonly before given the fact that all animals are full of hemoglobin? What's the key difference what making this a special case?
It wasn't looked for before. All large animals can have this type of preservation (small animals can be preserved too in microbial mats but not as long, the process works different, look at the frog paper in vid description for details). We now look for soft tissue in more fossils and have found it in many.
Her test is a bit silly. 2 years does not equal = 66 million. But you also have to account at what point does iron come into play in preserving the soft tissue. The animal dies and decomposes, it's not immediately preserved like in her test. I would expect to find only a portion of the dinosaur bones to have live tissue, not all of them, to account for ones of the same time period to not experience such a preservation technique.
The paper is called: "A fossil protein chimera; difficulties in discriminating dinosaur peptide sequences from modern cross-contamination" by Buckley et al.
I'm glad you and @MicroBlogganism had this discussion in this forum. It supports Stated Clearly's mantra of "stay curious." Thanks for sharing and furthering discussion of the topic.
That T-Rex was found in the Hell creek formation the portion of which was in Montana, the Hell creek formation is sandstone, a very porous material that allows water (a solvent) to penetrate and percolate through it, now it does not matter what kind of special preservative they try to cook up, time (68 million years) plus water is going to destroy it, it cannot last that long no matter what you try to cook up to do so, you are dealing with porous sandstone and water over 68 million years, there is no way any tissue in the that ground will survive the water and time, oh and something they forgot to mention is that time and water with minerals is supposed to replace the bone turning it into rock, you would think that if the bone had been replaced by mineralization, that the contents of the bone would have also been replaced... evolutionists downright denied what 4:43 Schwitzer said she discovered so 4:46 unlikely was her claim given the 4:48 evolutionary time 4:50 scale I had One reviewer tell me that he 4:52 didn't care what the data said he knew 4:55 that what I was Finding wasn't possible 4:57 says Schweitzer I wrote back and said 5:00 well what data would convince you and he 5:02 said 5:04 none .... They know that there is no way soft tissue could survive 68 million years in very porous sandstone. One video had staked out a dead deer so that it could not be dragged away, and mother nature reduced it to bones in just 7 days, when the researcher had estimated a month just to remove the hair and skin. Animals that die do not last long, unless they are buried rapidly where natural processes are prevented, (maggots and scavengers.)
@@Dr.Ian-Plect Do you have a problem with the facts, that 68 million years in sandstone with water over that time would completely destroy any soft tissue, I mean the secular scientists have said that under the best conditions 900 thousand years would be tops for soft tissue to survive. For soft tissue to survive 68 million years in porous sandstone... That is a miracle!!! Also there have been plenty of "papers" done, and some from young earth creationist's have given them nightmares. soft tissue in supposed 68-million-year-old fossil, that does not speak of millions of years but mere thousands.
Was the fossil preserved in sandstone or found in an area with sandstone? And how deep was it? I wish they had mentioned these things in the video buts its probably stated in one of the papers.
Dr. Schweitzer, you are a ROCK STAR ! ! ! Thank you for being who you are. @Stated Clearly: I know that your work is unbelievably time consuming and difficult, but it is SO important. Thank you for all of your time and work. Your videos helped my wife finally understand how evolution actually works, taught me about chemo-genesis, and, along with Aron Ra, will soon help supplement my children's education. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
They are still going to search for the Creator if they follow their higher mental faculties. As someone who was raised as an atheist, I will tell you right now that it can backfire.
You know the best way to convince a lot of people that something is fact even if you know it's not? Present it as fact to the youngest and most impressionable individuals possible(children) and use adults that they would trust the most to do it such as teachers. So it seems to me to be a little questionable let this video seems to be made for little children. And over the last 8 to 10 years science has more and more been used as a propaganda tool.
Eric Pham no the solstice is in December, Christmas is a fake occasion to usurp pagan solstice celebrations Jesus birthday is April first or some other day near the end of March depending on which Christ the bible is lying about
@Evi1M4chine Good gosh, someone makes a light-hearted joke about Christmas and you immediately launch into a diatribe against the church? What is your problem? Also, the majority of priests are not child rapists.
Big problem with the "iron" preservative is that hemoglobin is not found in concentrated form as her experiment employed. Because the hemoglobin is not found in nature this way then the reactions she saw cannot be used to extrapolate what we do find in nature. Hemoglobin might play a factor in slowing down decay, but with the concentrations we do find in nature, they would only preserve the amounts of original biological matter we find - at best - in the biblical time frame of thousands of years, not the tens of millions years demanded by evolutionists.
Yeah, assuming everything we know about geology and prehistory is wrong, is a huge assumption, compared to the iron preserving the tissue, which we can see it can preserve pretty well. Occam's razor says it's more likely it was preserved
The growth in your animation abilities is amazing. I love how you actually contact the scientist and get the most accurate information as well. You are truly a service to the world. We're not to the unit yet, but I'm going to show my AP Biology students this tomorrow.
+J - one if the Mao. Reasons this video looks so good us because comic artist Jordan Collver has teamed up with me. He did most of the illustrations on this one!
I highly respect Dr. Schweitzer and the work she does. However, I've recently been informed that her preservation experiment was flawed and thus does not confirm that this is a viable explanation for preservation of soft tissue. I was told that she super-concentrated the hemoglobin in the blood she used; she, by some artificial method I don't remember the name of, caused the hemoglobin to be opened, thus exposing the sample to the iron inside; she kept the sample in her lab at a fairly constant, air-conditioned temperature; she kept the sample from being exposed to microorganisms and such that we're confirmed to be found with some of the samples of soft tissue that have been studied; and she did not allow her sample to come in contact with things like ground water and such that the actual samples would most certainly have encountered. It seems to me that if any one of these things is true, it invalidates her interpretation of the results because it doesn't accurately represent the most probable conditions the dinosaur bones we're in. Have I been misinformed?
Well, science works with "best explanation", and at least we have no better explanation. I am not sure about the details though, read her paper on the subject? Answer 1 is out, we know the T-rex cannot be young for many reasons. And answer 2 would make the discovery unimportant, and is proven incorrect.
"The problem is, for 300 years, we thought, 'Well, the organics are all gone, so why should we look for something that's not going to be there?' and nobody looks," - Mary Schweitzer No cell decay in 2 years.... Has anyone checked the experiment since? What about collagen? that can apparently last millions of years as well. Amazing. The science we all relied on has been overturned. I believe this new corrected science though.
It is also very telling that so many are so vehemently adamant that there is absolutely no way this could mean the bones are younger than previously thought. I think that is known as drawing a conclusion before considering the evidence.
Looks like John Hammond was wrong. In order to get Dino DNA he only needed to soak Dino bones in acid to get to the young, soft, tissue and proteins in the fossils😄
Here from viced rhino. Great video. Going to subscribe and am excited to explore your library of videos. The information is stated so clearly it's so easy to absorb and comprehend the subject presented.
The more I learn about science to more I appreciate all the work that went in to making sense of it all. Everything we know has a story behind it about how we came to know it, and the people that made it happen.
A man is convinced he is dead. His wife and kids are exasperated. They keep telling him he's not dead. But he continues to insist he's dead. They try telling him, "Look, you're not dead; you're walking and talking and breathing; how can you be dead?" But he continues to insist he is dead. The family finally takes him to a doctor. The doctor pulls out some medical books to demonstrate to the man that dead men do not bleed. After some time, the man admits that dead men do not bleed. The doctor then takes the man's hand and a needle and pokes the end of his finger. The man starts bleeding. He looks at his finger and says, "What do you know? DEAD MEN DO BLEED!"
I consider myself to be a critical thinker and a skeptic(yes, I'm American), but I have only been like this for less than 5 years and I am a long way from being able to call myself, "informed."
Evolutionary Solitude Some flat-earthers and conspiracy theorists call themselves "skeptics". Also, Ken Ham thinks that he practices and teaches "critical thinking".
Evolutionary Solitude I think you might mean "sceptical of sceptics." Anyone who witnessed the cluster-event that was known as Atheism+ (Plus), can never recall it without throwing up a bit.
Sven Leuschner Literally the most fossils are made from catastrophic events every astroid that came from outer space. Some form of radiation that enforce the sales as well as the fact that the earth was a lot different back then so everything was a lot harder than what it is now today making it easier for survival right or wrong
even under moderate scrutiny, Schweitzer’s explanation quickly falls to pieces. In her new paper she discusses experiments that appear totally unrepresentative of the conditions under which these dinosaur remains were actually preserved. Instead, she describes what boils down to a ‘best and worse case scenario’ for soft tissue preservation.
A lot of work went in to this - THANK you, Stated Clearly! Now, if only hard-core Creationists will sit down long enough to watch this all the way through. The soft tissue saga is their holy grail of creationist 'proof' at the moment; I'm always having it fired at me ('What about the soft tissue found in TRex bones? That proves that dinosaurs CAN'T be millions of years old!'). This, without even any proper reading into the matter. Thanks again, Jon. On to the next!
As I said above: 2 years is not 65 million. And a lab environment is nothing like the environment where the bones were discovered. Let's wait and see what happens to the samples after 10, 20, 30 or 10,000 years...I thought she was a scientist...
Talk Beliefs, I agree, if only hard-core creationists will sit down long enough to watch this all the way through. This very subject (dino soft tissue) was the center of a very recent (yesterday) debate I had with a young earth creationist. In the end we both agreed to disagree, (he was actually quite nice and polite, a real change from most young earthers I've had exchanges with in the past). At any rate, I think to date, this Stated Clearly video does the best job of explaining soft tissue preservation that I've come across, I wish I had known of it's existence one day earlier. I'm off to view another video; I think I'll try your channel next, it's been awhile since I last visited your site and seeing your comment was a welcome reminder.
lividmachine "Because they have found cephalopods dating back 178 million years with wet ink in what was left of their ink sac." Please citation. All I can find is fossils with dried ink. And ink is not the same bloodcells. You do agree that? Once that stuff dries up it could become inert. They also found pigment on fossilized skin. "By the way, they have carbon-dated hundreds of dinosaur bones with most of them no more than 40,000 years old." You really should brush up on your knowledge. From a certain age upwards you cannot use carbon dating. Even if there is carbon left. For instance they cannot carbon date coal. It has to do with the ratio of two types of carbon. Everything from a certain age upward will always return the 40 or 50 thousand date mark. " But as Mary Schweitzer's Mentor has stated, carbon dating is not scientific." No, did you listen to the same dialogue that I heard an hour ago between a creationist radiohost and Horner? He was being polite. He should have said that the man was a moron. He knew it would not work and yet he wanted the dating. One should know the limitations of a technique but creationists never get it. So, get an education on radiometric dating and see where you can improve yourself.
MsSomeonenew Yes, They start with the infallibility of the bible and work backwards. When you do that I am sure you can come up with everything, simply look at flattards who make all evidence fit their view.
My immediate response was, "Then why don't we find soft tissue in lots of fossils?" But at the end, you said "We do find soft tissues in many fossils." So... Never Mind.
So why did she use intact hemoglobin for her experiment? Why not free iron? Hemoglobin would have the iron locked up in the molecule and unable to react as well with the cells to cause cross-linking.
Great job, and amazing explanation. And I may have to link to this for more explanation when creationists continuously try to use her work to show that the earth is young.
+Shane Wilson Creationists will deny those observations per default. This is easily to understand, when you understand their goals of personal religious satisfaction. For example when we observe that the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5+ million years away it is denied. Even when the stars would cook us when they would be nearby - or the light speed (Einstein etc.) would be wrong, too. It makes also no sense how they argue from their own excuse argumentation. For example they believe before the flood of the bible humans, dinos and mammoth lived together. Why do we have neanderthal DNA and mammoth DNA but not dinosaurs living in the ice age and so on and so on. It makes no sense.
Mary Schweitzer: "Piece by piece I was able to reject and dismiss the creationist dogma and misinformation I had been forced to believe throughout my earlier years...and it was a painful conversion. It cost me my friends, my church and my husband. But I could no longer deny the truth. I had observed the overwhelming mountain of evidence for evolution first hand. I am eternally grateful to professor Horner. My understanding of reality just got a whole lot bigger."
I studied pretty deep into this topic for personal reasons and wanted to make a video stating clearly what actually happened to those who are misinformed. I wasn't planning on doing it anytime soon, and now I don't need to. This video is better than mine would've been, and it even said things I still didn't know! Mad props to you sir!
@@orionred2489 The friend wants to know where all the transitional forms are that prove evolution is true. All species have variations, like there are many kinds of dogs and cats. But dogs and cats cannot mate and produce a docat! Why can't man mate with a chimp and have a successful offspring? Afterall we are 97% alike so we've been told. There are too many holes in believing evolution is factual. Just like the Big Bang, both are theoretical, but Satan pushes the narrative because it denies the existence of the Creator. Once you understand that Satan and God are fighting for your souls everything begins to make sense! Ok, now go ahead and dismiss me as a nutjob. The Devil wants you to!
@@orionred2489 I try to look at any evidence objectively, whether it comes from creationists or others. It takes faith to believe in what cannot actually be proven. Those of us with limited backgrounds in science have little choice but to TRUST what we've been told is fact. Today's scientific community has been caught several times fudging data to push their narrative.
I went to Dr Mary Schweitzer’s website through the link you provided. What a wonderful website. I have really enjoyed perusing the site and have bookmarked it to return again. Her story of Avery warmed my heart. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for all your hard work!
Omid Tenkaren she is in denial then. Many smart people trade reason for some sort of emotional satisfaction. Elon musk gets married again even after he got fucked over in divorce.
sciure sci the reason I brought up the fact that she is a Christian was precisely because of the attitude you have friend... The Richard Dawkins attitude that everything is black and white. There have been, long before Darwin, Christians with another view then that of young earth creationism. Who are you to judge there reasons being inconsistent? Let's have humility and accept that the question is more about good science than about certain theological interpretations.
Tera The Feather Nazi we are living in a time plagued by stereotypes like Dawkins and Ken ham. I think it is good to abandon the "we against them" mentality that some propagate and instead understand that there are Christians that love science and there are actually even atheists that are not scientific in their thinking. Such a view reflects reality better and creates more healthy discussions.
+Guru Mage What made you change your mind? Here is a question that screws creationism: Genetics obviously functions as a science, so whatever it's based on must be sound. What is in the genetic students exam before they graduate? Is it, "mutations sometimes working, bringing new hybrid populations"? Or is it, "mutations never working, and can never bring new hybrid populations"?
Hovinds data is extensively footnoted. Acedemics dont refute the referenced data. Many however disagree with some, but not all of the conclusions Hovind draws from this data. Hovind was considered a masterful debater with a powerful delivery. Because of this, academics were advised not to participate in organized debates with Hovind. There was simply nothing to gain as they would loose more often than not. The reason for this is most acedemics had little or no experience with having their positions challenged. Hovind has had nothing but challenges when he debates. By design he is the underdog in these encounters. Thus he is prepared for and expects specific attacks. By responding with calculated application of publicly published reports and data he makes compelling arguments. Such arguments are difficult to logically refute out of hand. Unfortunately recent discussion seems to focus less on hard data and more on personal desparagement. That is a real pity...
Keep in mind though that while yes, 2 years is far less than 70 million, the tissue sample was nanometers in size. For comparison, the standard 1 millimeter on a ruler is one million times larger than a nanometer so the tissue was basically gone. Still, the fact that it was even there at all is extraordinary.
Oh my gosh, the young earth creationists in the comments that still say this is evidence for a young earth... Did they even watch the video? If your one piece of data contradicts millions of others, you assume the one has some kind of anomaly, not that all the others are wrong. I can't believe I used to believe this kind of stuff....
Dragongirl, that's not how it works and I am not a Young Earther. You don't just go along with the majority all the time, each person needs to develop critical thinking skills and think outside the box and not always follow the majority like sheep.
That's the point of peer review. All peer reviewed research supports an old earth and old dinosaurs because it has been heavily scrutinized by other scientists. @@ArranVid
Who analyzed the samples that Schweitzer and her team found to confirm the presence of carbon-14? Where are their findings published? What other methods did the use to cross reference the claimed date?
You are the one who claimed c-14 was found, where did you get that from, your ass? Modern c-14 dating can be accurate out to over 75,000 years if cross referenced properly.
That is absolutely right. You made the claim that carbon 14 was found and that that somehow meant that the sample is less than 23,000 years old. Put up or shut up. Where is the evidence that backs up your very specific claim? Where did you get that very specific information. Who did the testing? Where did they get the sample from? Was the testing cross referenced to another method like it must be to be considered valid? You made the claim, you have the burden of proof, bud.
yes and they have carbon in them. Which would seem to not be as old as they say. All this idiot does is drop a video that says iron caused it. lol so rust makes things last longer didnt you know! Anyway In fact, they tried to pay a well renowned scientist not gonna mention names, ( Jack Horner) refused over 20,000 to carbon date 5 samples and says he cant do that test and simply refuses to test these specimen. Hilarious. here ill link the article and video if you would like all you have to do is type it into youtube and see. They lose... period.
Why would you carbon date such a fossil when carbon dating cannot detect items older than 50,000 years? You would just get dumb results. Unless of course you wanted to be deliberately dishonest.
because the results should be unmessurable, you should get numbers off the chart, thing is you dont, you get numbers like 10,000, and 6,000 which seems to say there is still carbon in the bones which means they are less than 20,000 years old
Tyler Layman: No you would not, clearly you know nothing of the carbon dating process. It is like trying to measure one year with a twenty four hour clock. After a year all you would get is number 0-23. If you use the appropriate radio-dating method, you get the correct results.
Here is a link to the guy who found the soft tissue in the triceratops horn in Montana . th-cam.com/video/8Sq5hCZCECQ/w-d-xo.html . He is a fully fledged scientist whose sole professional role is to examine dinosaur bones and an expert in preservation techniques . And he says iron cannot preserve this tissue for millions of years and explains why it cannot . Please review this “stated clearly “ and then explain why he is wrong .
You didn't mention anything about the actual quantity of iron in either her experiment or how much was in the dino tissue. Or how it's possible for the iron to travel throughout a dead animal's body. Was the iron in her experiment the same level as the Dino's? If the levels of iron are different, how does that affect her experiment? Also, on a separate but similar note, how did the dino get buried? If it died just randomly, scavengers would have devoured it. It seems like it would have had to have been in some kind of catastrophe. What kind of catastrophe can drop tons of rock onto an animal and keep it preserved and mostly intact?
Wonderful post. And have actually heard this soft tissue find as proof of a young Earth by Evangelical Christians. So nice to hear that dedicated scientists have studied this unusual phenomenon and have a reasonable answer. Unlike the creationist who so smugly told me, "We have proof now, and it's from YOUR scientists." Arghh!!!
I've been doing research on the possibility of some fossils being younger than we originally thought, and so far, I'm not fully dismissed on the possibility yet
Thank you. I had heard about the initial discovery of the preserved soft tissue in the T Rex bone in the popular press but had long since lost track of the story. I'm happy to have found the rest of the story here, Stated Clearly. Science is so much more interesting than religious dogma, don't you think? It has a narrative.
I was a young earth creationist when this story came out however many years ago. It so obviously confirmed that scientists were wrong about everything and dinosaurs lived with humans. My pastor totally agreed and used it to make me even more skeptical of the scientific elites... great vid! I think either potholer or viced rhino have both touched on this subject, but this is the most complete version of the story
Rick Turner that line about scientists being obviously wrong and humans living with dinosaurs made my mind cringe. Glad to see you are no longer a young earther. Congrats!
It's depressing how often YEC's cherry-pick interesting facts, assert the interpretation that fits their pre-existing worldview (never mind what the context says about that interpretation), and ignore the mountains of evidence _against_ that interpretation...before accusing the scientific community of ignoring evidence against their "scientific dogma".
Rick Turner Dinosaurs still live with humans... All members of Aves are descendents of the raptor dinosaurians. But... Humans weren't around during the jurassic, and Jurassic dinosaurs weren't around when the first ancestors of modern man came down from the trees.
Nothing about these findings lends any credence to the idea that dinosaurs lived with humans, or that the earth is young, and Mary herself has stated this.
It is now well known, since the Stanford experiments of the 70s, that cooperation is more important to our brains than evidence. Confirmation bias is the road to cooperation. Look at the stories of people leaving extreme liberalism or extreme conservativism: near the end, these people were apologetic of their groups despite obvious bias all the way up until the point where they could no longer reconcile the obvious truth with their beliefs. Admitting you are wrong in these circumstances often gets you ejected from your group of friends, family, etc. It's hard.
Mary looks so heroic. But it's obvious that any anomaly in paleontology must prove that the earth is 6000 years young, and Adam and Eve were literal people. Obviously.
an 8 minute video isn't particularly succinct. It's clarity they are after, which is different from brevity. That's why they go and tell the whole story of Mary Schweizer's discovery rather than simply stating her findings in a few sentences. They could have simply explained her conclusion and detailed her experiment. Instead they told the whole story so that the scientific process she went through would be clear to their audience. Thus "Stated Clearly" is an excellent name for the channel.
This woman didn't have the balls to stand up to the scientific community and say yes this proof that dinosaurs did live less than a million years ago at least my dinosaur did if you don't like it prove me wrong
Not that I don't like that cool idea that my thousand-year old grandpa could have witnessed a Dinosaur, but having the current consensus showing models and their evidence contradicting this, it don't look like that's it. This lad even talked about how it could have lived for over millions of years, with another link showing it may not have even been from the dinosaur in his pinned comment.
Like you said, 2 years is a far cry from 65 million years, so an act of desperation on Schweitzer's part to explain soft-tissue preservation via bonding with iron. Besides this, the solution of iron she used was gained through a very complex set of procedures in the lab, and in no way represents anything that can occur in the field, so you cannot use her experiment to explain naturally occurring preservation. Furthermore, multiple investigations are finding DNA markers. DNA as a molecule does not bind with iron compared to the larger protein molecules, so iron cannot be invoked to explain the preservation of DNA. But don't take my word for it, Prof. Matthew Collins from the University of York states "I have yet to hear a plausible explanation for how soft tissues can be preserved for this long … for me they’re defying basic chemistry and physics. … Iron may slow down the decay process but it’s not clear how it could be arrested altogether.” (Morton, M.C., Cretaceous collagen: Can molecular paleontology glean soft tissue from dinosaurs? Earth 16 October 2017; earthmagazine . org). In another paper it is stated: “Proteins decay in an orderly fashion. We can slow it down, but not by a lot.” (Service, R.F., Scientists retrieve 80-million-year-old dinosaur protein in ‘milestone’ paper, Science 31 January 2017; sciencemag . org.) Your video is, therefore, a trite and unsatisfactory answer to the enigma of soft-tissue preservation. Schweitzer has yet to give a workable answer.
@@devilmonkey427 In a paper published in January 2020 "Evidence of proteins, chromosomes and chemical markers of DNA in exceptionally preserved dinosaur cartilage" National Science Review 0:1-8, doi:10.1093/nsr/nwz206; the six lead scientists find chemical markers for DNA. DNA cannot be preserved by iron. They also state in their paper "Unlike dinosaur osteocytes that often present a reddish hue due to iron inclusions, Hypacrosaurus chondrocytes are transparent (Fig. 4A and B), suggesting a different preservation mode." In other other words these bone cells have no iron in them. This "different preservation mode" they hint at in the paper is not mentioned again. Iron is not the get-out-of-jail free card they are hoping for. And no, this is not "lying for Jesus" as you so ignorantly and crassly insinuate- this is scientific fact- so get over it.
@@brainzpvz2592 To try and extrapolate from 2 years to 65 million years is absurd. But the paper ref I gave above Schweiter found T-rex tissue with no iron therefore her supposed preservation mechanism is irrelevant. Evolutionists have no means to preserve dinosaur soft tissue therefore it cannot be millions of years old.
@@brainzpvz2592 If you see my comments above, I give full references to Schweitzer's papers, including where she finds T-rex soft tissue with NO iron, they are described as 'transparent'. Also, see the refs to scientists who don't take her iron rescuing device at all seriously. In other words, you don't even have 2 years to play with. Schweiter has debunked her own rescuing device. Triceratops soft tissue is also known, as also is Hadrosaur, but the one that beats them all is soft tissue found inside a pre-Cambrian tube worm: Moczydłowska, M., Westall, F. and Foucher, F., Microstructure and biogeochemistry of the organically preserved Ediacaran Metazoan Sabellidites, Journal of Paleontology 88(2):224-239, 2014 The researchers state the following: "The Sabellidites [tube-worm] organic body is preserved without permineralization. Minerals have not replicated any part of the soft tissue and the carbonaceous material of the wall is primary, preserving the original layering of the wall, its texture, and fabrics.” and "The tube of S. cambriensis was flexible, as shown by its soft deformation and preservation, and composed of fibers perfect in habit and parallel arranged in sheets, and then sheets in layers.” This was in pre-Cambrian rock supposedly 550 million years old. No way!
@Brain PVZ Schweiter admitted in an interview on NBC (see her full interview here: th-cam.com/video/ynXwAo9V_pY/w-d-xo.html) “It is utterly shocking, and it flies in the face of everything we know about how tissues and cells degrade...” and "it is utterly shocking... a lot of our science doesn't allow for this, all of the chemistry and all of the molecular breakdown experiments we have done don't allow for this...". She knows about molecular break-down experiments, all proteins, including DNA have half-lives that can be observed and calculated for different temperatures. There is no experimental evidence to demonstrate that biomolecules can last for multi-millions of years (even when they are frozen in lead-lined containers to protect them from all external energy and radiation sources). Nielsen-Marsh, C., 2002. Biomolecules in fossil remains. Multidisciplinary approach to endurance. The Biochemical Society. published a table of protein and DNA half-life results, at max they only last a few 10s thousands years at 10C, even less at 20C. This is observable, repeatable science. To make these biomolecules last for 65 million years even half a billion years runs against all known physics and chemistry. You have a lot of faith to believe these soft tissues are really 65 million years old and older.
Update: since writing the script for this video, a new study came out that does a bit to weaken the consensus that the tissue found belongs to the original T. rex: rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/284/1855/20170544
Stated Clearly -- Just stick a dino bone up your stingy crab's ass which is waterproof and it will survive forever.
Ric Rovey -- You're closer to home than most people in this ludicrous thread.
Ric, why would most churches not have a clue what the bible means? Did your god fail to make it clear enough? Why should I have to "unlock" anything that god gave us to know the truth? Sounds incompetent.
BTW, there was no global flood, it really is that simple. There were many civilizations living before and during the time this flood supposedly happened, and they never noticed any flood. Also, the evidence in the rocks would show a clear pattern for the trillions of dead organisms & other debris. The flood never happened.
Ric, your fairy tale ain't hard to understand - I have an engineering and math degree and currently a physics major - so quit flattering your myth. Additionally, I'm a former xtian and still study the bible today. Your pathetic & condensing swipe at me is b/c you can't defend your god. You can argue with other fanatics about 1 or 2 floods. The bible is full of crap anyway.
The fossils are NOT found jumbled up together. We've never found trilobites & kangaroos, or rabbits and raptors,.... buried in the fossil record. You are the one who is blind if you believe in a global flood. Of course you have to defend your god drowning millions of babies.
The fact that you quoted your god saying he will cause people not hear his important message shows what a wicked god you worship. Your god wants people to hear and follow his word, so what you wrote contradicts his most important mandate. Of course your god made no attempt to get his important message to billions of natives, chinese, and Indians. He didn't try too hard & doesn't give a shit.
If your god wasn't so incompetent with his "words", there wouldn't be more versions of xtianity than there are sentences in the bible.
Guitar Jerk -- The Bible is not a book for the world to understand like a technical manual, that means its wisdom is hidden from the fools--you, for example. God hides from the wise, the proud and the wicked and reveals Himself to babes, those who are pure of heart and diligently seek Him in meekness and in truth. I know you're not about to do that nor is anyone going to force it upon you, so God will either have to bring your proud ass down to the point you realize you're nothing but a worm who needs salvation or let you continue on the way to perdition. Given your "overt atheistic" attitude the latter is most likely to occur.
Now, ignorant blabbermouth, every single ancient civilization has a flood story that spread from mouth to mouth after Babel. It refers to the same flood except that each civilization tailored it to their our cultural mores.
As to the evidence of the flood, your stupid "clear pattern for the trillions of dead organisms" could not exist since dead things either fossilized rather quickly in the flood or decomposed back into the ground. And just so you know about 75% of the earth's crust has sedimentary rocks. It really is that simple, simpleton.

😸 This is how to present a lesson! Expertly structured, paced and illustrated without overwhelming your audience. Teachers of any subject would benefit so much by incorporating your approach in their classes! Kindest regards from a retired English teacher.
Sir Meow The Library Cat
Indeed. Everything taught should be taught within a structured analysis of the lesson. Too often the material is distilled to wrote memorization with no foundational understanding of why the information is important or how it effects us. A student is left to either retain it or forget it and without the subtext it gets discarded over time, misattributed to an irrelevant claim or outright confabulated into rabid nonsense.
Class material and lesson plans should be designed around inquiry, rather than certainty. Reason should be corequisite as a guide to learning how to research any subject for themselves and *how* to think about what they encounter in their research. In such an environment a student is more likely to retain the material but much more importantly the student walks away with a tool kit for examining *any* material presented to them. It becomes habitual and the student is able to master any subject that interests him.
The most important thing a student should learn is how to learn.
We don't do that much any more and we have generations of our posterity running around without the most basic notion of how to figure things out for themselves.
While I agree to some extent, I don't think it is a very balanced presentation.
It gives the impression that Mary's conclusions are widely and fully accepted by almost all paleontologists, but this is not the case. Many still express reservations about many of her findings, and seem to have good reasons for them.
And yet they won't let people carbon test the fossil, remember how Galileo's astronomy was rejected even by other scientists of his day?
Also watch the Will Smith movie Concussion, the scientist in that (who was religious mind you) researched the real degenerative brain disease caused by football games and kept getting discredited by the NFL who had a lot of influence over things.
Before claiming something about carbon dating you should understand the method and when and how to use it. Stated clearly has even a cideo on that: th-cam.com/video/eNY8xC3raDY/w-d-xo.html

No... nobody will let you test anything because you're a moron who has no idea what you're doing.

Option 7: these were cyborg dinosaurs that were mechanised by an yet undiscovered civilization. The iron-rich environment that their bones were in was due to the mechanical parts.
Wierd that tissue can stay intact for thousends of years.
"To successfully argue that her single discovery means that the fossil was actually young, she would have to ignore everyone else's careful observations."
That hasn't stopped other people from using her discovery to argue that very thing. And, by extension, that every other Cretaceous fossil was young. And that "young" is a couple orders of magnitude less than science actually requires. And that it conveniently lines up with their pre-existing biases.

Jonas A. That’s... not how paleantology works.
I enjoyed this one. I work at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, where Dr. Schweitzer was cross-posted, and I've spoken to her informally about this matter. I thought you did a great job presenting the data and the *real* situation. When I started working with scientists many years ago, their willingness to admit error and/or lack of understanding was the single aspect of the scientific discipline I found most attractive, for lots of reasons. Also, as an animator, I appreciate the hard work and attention to detail on display in your work--great to see it! It's inspiring. Great work on the video--keep 'em coming.
My only question is, why did not this observed more commonly before given the fact that all animals are full of hemoglobin? What's the key difference what making this a special case?
It wasn't looked for before. All large animals can have this type of preservation (small animals can be preserved too in microbial mats but not as long, the process works different, look at the frog paper in vid description for details). We now look for soft tissue in more fossils and have found it in many.
Stated Clearly thanks for the awesome vid
It's not, we just never looked before, it's a rare but marginal process. Always more Science to be discovered.
Yes in the video it suggested it's a rare chance event as the iron preserved the soft tissue, PLUS it was sealed in bone
Ádám Tóth sealed in bone? Each time a skeleton is found it should have been sealed in bone!
This is EXTREMELY well presented! The graphics also helped a lot in your explanation, really fun to watch too!
Good graphics too.
Her test is a bit silly. 2 years does not equal = 66 million. But you also have to account at what point does iron come into play in preserving the soft tissue. The animal dies and decomposes, it's not immediately preserved like in her test. I would expect to find only a portion of the dinosaur bones to have live tissue, not all of them, to account for ones of the same time period to not experience such a preservation technique.
What's more, fragments of the proteins have been sequenced, and resemble those of modern birds
MicroBlogganism
Although there is recent evidence to suggest that these sequenced proteins may actually have been contamination.
The story continues...
Ration alMind Well.. That's a bummer
The paper is called: "A fossil protein chimera; difficulties in discriminating dinosaur peptide sequences from modern cross-contamination" by Buckley et al.
I'm glad you and @MicroBlogganism had this discussion in this forum. It supports Stated Clearly's mantra of "stay curious." Thanks for sharing and furthering discussion of the topic.
That T-Rex was found in the Hell creek formation the portion of which was in Montana, the Hell creek formation is sandstone, a very porous material that allows water (a solvent) to penetrate and percolate through it, now it does not matter what kind of special preservative they try to cook up, time (68 million years) plus water is going to destroy it, it cannot last that long no matter what you try to cook up to do so, you are dealing with porous sandstone and water over 68 million years, there is no way any tissue in the that ground will survive the water and time, oh and something they forgot to mention is that time and water with minerals is supposed to replace the bone turning it into rock, you would think that if the bone had been replaced by mineralization, that the contents of the bone would have also been replaced...

They know that there is no way soft tissue could survive 68 million years in very porous sandstone.
One video had staked out a dead deer so that it could not be dragged away, and mother nature reduced it to bones in just 7 days, when the researcher had estimated a month just to remove the hair and skin.
Animals that die do not last long, unless they are buried rapidly where natural processes are prevented, (maggots and scavengers.)
Take your confidence and turn it into a paper for scrutiny by the relevant experts.
@@Dr.Ian-Plect
Do you have a problem with the facts, that 68 million years in sandstone with water over that time would completely destroy any soft tissue, I mean the secular scientists have said that under the best conditions 900 thousand years would be tops for soft tissue to survive.
For soft tissue to survive 68 million years in porous sandstone... That is a miracle!!!
Also there have been plenty of "papers" done, and some from young earth creationist's have given them nightmares. soft tissue in supposed 68-million-year-old fossil, that does not speak of millions of years but mere thousands.

Was the fossil preserved in sandstone or found in an area with sandstone? And how deep was it? I wish they had mentioned these things in the video buts its probably stated in one of the papers.

Big problem with the "iron" preservative is that hemoglobin is not found in concentrated form as her experiment employed. Because the hemoglobin is not found in nature this way then the reactions she saw cannot be used to extrapolate what we do find in nature. Hemoglobin might play a factor in slowing down decay, but with the concentrations we do find in nature, they would only preserve the amounts of original biological matter we find - at best - in the biblical time frame of thousands of years, not the tens of millions years demanded by evolutionists.
Jeremy Special pleading or what?
Occam's razor took a hard hit here.... Iron preserved the tissue for 65 million years... oh brother, anything to avoid being proven wrong.
Yeah, assuming everything we know about geology and prehistory is wrong, is a huge assumption, compared to the iron preserving the tissue, which we can see it can preserve pretty well. Occam's razor says it's more likely it was preserved
But if the soft tissue was preserved, does that mean that the DNA could have been preserved as well???

Sadly DNA was too damaged to the point of few components left.

I highly respect Dr. Schweitzer and the work she does. However, I've recently been informed that her preservation experiment was flawed and thus does not confirm that this is a viable explanation for preservation of soft tissue. I was told that she super-concentrated the hemoglobin in the blood she used; she, by some artificial method I don't remember the name of, caused the hemoglobin to be opened, thus exposing the sample to the iron inside; she kept the sample in her lab at a fairly constant, air-conditioned temperature; she kept the sample from being exposed to microorganisms and such that we're confirmed to be found with some of the samples of soft tissue that have been studied; and she did not allow her sample to come in contact with things like ground water and such that the actual samples would most certainly have encountered. It seems to me that if any one of these things is true, it invalidates her interpretation of the results because it doesn't accurately represent the most probable conditions the dinosaur bones we're in. Have I been misinformed?
Well, science works with "best explanation", and at least we have no better explanation. I am not sure about the details though, read her paper on the subject?
Answer 1 is out, we know the T-rex cannot be young for many reasons. And answer 2 would make the discovery unimportant, and is proven incorrect.

What about collagen? that can apparently last millions of years as well. Amazing. The science we all relied on has been overturned. I believe this new corrected science though.

The family finally takes him to a doctor. The doctor pulls out some medical books to demonstrate to the man that dead men do not bleed. After some time, the man admits that dead men do not bleed.
The doctor then takes the man's hand and a needle and pokes the end of his finger. The man starts bleeding. He looks at his finger and says, "What do you know? DEAD MEN DO BLEED!"

even under moderate scrutiny, Schweitzer’s explanation quickly falls to pieces. In her new paper she discusses experiments that appear totally unrepresentative of the conditions under which these dinosaur remains were actually preserved. Instead, she describes what boils down to a ‘best and worse case scenario’ for soft tissue preservation.

The soft tissue saga is their holy grail of creationist 'proof' at the moment; I'm always having it fired at me ('What about the soft tissue found in TRex bones? That proves that dinosaurs CAN'T be millions of years old!'). This, without even any proper reading into the matter. Thanks again, Jon. On to the next!
As I said above: 2 years is not 65 million. And a lab environment is nothing like the environment where the bones were discovered. Let's wait and see what happens to the samples after 10, 20, 30 or 10,000 years...I thought she was a scientist...
Talk Beliefs, I agree, if only hard-core creationists will sit down long enough to watch this all the way through.

In the end we both agreed to disagree, (he was actually quite nice and polite, a real change from most young earthers I've had exchanges with in the past). At any rate, I think to date, this Stated Clearly video does the best job of explaining soft tissue preservation that I've come across, I wish I had known of it's existence one day earlier. I'm off to view another video; I think I'll try your channel next, it's been awhile since I last visited your site and seeing your comment was a welcome reminder.

"Because they have found cephalopods dating back 178 million years with wet ink in what was left of their ink sac."
Please citation.
All I can find is fossils with dried ink.
And ink is not the same bloodcells. You do agree that?
Once that stuff dries up it could become inert. They also found pigment on fossilized skin.
"By the way, they have carbon-dated hundreds of dinosaur bones with most of them no more than 40,000 years old."
You really should brush up on your knowledge. From a certain age upwards you cannot use carbon dating. Even if there is carbon left. For instance they cannot carbon date coal. It has to do with the ratio of two types of carbon. Everything from a certain age upward will always return the 40 or 50 thousand date mark.
" But as Mary Schweitzer's Mentor has stated, carbon dating is not scientific."
No, did you listen to the same dialogue that I heard an hour ago between a creationist radiohost and Horner?
He was being polite. He should have said that the man was a moron.
He knew it would not work and yet he wanted the dating.
One should know the limitations of a technique but creationists never get it.
So, get an education on radiometric dating and see where you can improve yourself.
They are believers, all their answers will go to the same place every time, that is their whole purpose.

Creationists will deny those observations per default. This is easily to understand, when you understand their goals of personal religious satisfaction. For example when we observe that the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5+ million years away it is denied. Even when the stars would cook us when they would be nearby - or the light speed (Einstein etc.) would be wrong, too.
It makes also no sense how they argue from their own excuse argumentation. For example they believe before the flood of the bible humans, dinos and mammoth lived together.
Why do we have neanderthal DNA and mammoth DNA but not dinosaurs living in the ice age and so on and so on.
It makes no sense.
Beautifully researched and presented, this channel is a real contribution to the understanding of sometimes difficult concepts.
We should look into regions on earth that have a lot of iron rich "water reservoirs" maybe we can find an intact dinosaur trapped in one of these?
The problem is that iron doesn't preserve for that long and fossils have been found with soft tissue where much iron was not
Mary Schweitzer:
"Piece by piece I was able to reject and dismiss the creationist dogma and misinformation I had been forced to believe throughout my earlier years...and it was a painful conversion. It cost me my friends, my church and my husband. But I could no longer deny the truth. I had observed the overwhelming mountain of evidence for evolution first hand. I am eternally grateful to professor Horner. My understanding of reality just got a whole lot bigger."
I absolutely love this channel's videos
I studied pretty deep into this topic for personal reasons and wanted to make a video stating clearly what actually happened to those who are misinformed. I wasn't planning on doing it anytime soon, and now I don't need to. This video is better than mine would've been, and it even said things I still didn't know! Mad props to you sir!
Thanks! When this material was first announced my young Earth creationist friend declared it proof for her beliefs. Can't wait to send her this!
How did it go?
@@orionred2489 The friend wants to know where all the transitional forms are that prove evolution is true. All species have variations, like there are many kinds of dogs and cats. But dogs and cats cannot mate and produce a docat! Why can't man mate with a chimp and have a successful offspring? Afterall we are 97% alike so we've been told. There are too many holes in believing evolution is factual. Just like the Big Bang, both are theoretical, but Satan pushes the narrative because it denies the existence of the Creator. Once you understand that Satan and God are fighting for your souls everything begins to make sense!
Ok, now go ahead and dismiss me as a nutjob. The Devil wants you to!
@@saturn722 I can't tell if you are serious, or are being sarcastic. Classic Poe situation.
@@orionred2489 I try to look at any evidence objectively, whether it comes from creationists or others.
It takes faith to believe in what cannot actually be proven. Those of us with limited backgrounds in science have little choice but to TRUST what we've been told is fact. Today's scientific community has been caught several times fudging data to push their narrative.
@@saturn722 Still can't tell. What you're saying is so childish that you make a great parody of the average creationist.
I went to Dr Mary Schweitzer’s website through the link you provided. What a wonderful website. I have really enjoyed perusing the site and have bookmarked it to return again. Her story of Avery warmed my heart. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for all your hard work!
Could you share that link because the one provided did not work.
Found this through your other channel subbed good stuff
An interesting note: Dr Mary Schweizer is a conservative Christian (obviously not a young earth creationist).
Omid Tenkaren she is in denial then. Many smart people trade reason for some sort of emotional satisfaction.
Elon musk gets married again even after he got fucked over in divorce.
sciure sci the reason I brought up the fact that she is a Christian was precisely because of the attitude you have friend... The Richard Dawkins attitude that everything is black and white. There have been, long before Darwin, Christians with another view then that of young earth creationism. Who are you to judge there reasons being inconsistent? Let's have humility and accept that the question is more about good science than about certain theological interpretations.
Why is that relevant?
Tera The Feather Nazi we are living in a time plagued by stereotypes like Dawkins and Ken ham. I think it is good to abandon the "we against them" mentality that some propagate and instead understand that there are Christians that love science and there are actually even atheists that are not scientific in their thinking. Such a view reflects reality better and creates more healthy discussions.
For once, I'm not annoyed by someone bringing religion into discussion on a science video. Thanks :P
I loved the feathered dinos. It's a small but nice touch, and shows your rigorous in being scientific correct even on the animations.
The is no evidence of feathered dinosaurs. It from someone's imagination. Nothing more.
One more step to bringing dinosaurs back to life so I can ride them into battle and look hella badass.
My guy, I don't think it's gonna happen cause we don't got a proper cell and a proper genetically related host.
Just leave dinosaurs alone, it is fine that most of them went extinct. Also, modern birds are actual dinosaurs.
Why must scientists' blogs have such complicated URLs?
Pretty telling that the first papers to come out were critical of Schweitzer and declared that the tissue was definitely not legitimate.
When I was still a Christian and creationist, I taught this was solid proof of a young earth.
Good thing I'm done with those BS fairy tales.

What made you change your mind?
Here is a question that screws creationism:
Genetics obviously functions as a science, so whatever it's based on must be sound.
What is in the genetic students exam before they graduate?
Is it, "mutations sometimes working, bringing new hybrid populations"?
Or is it, "mutations never working, and can never bring new hybrid populations"?
I love this channel. My dad has been forcing me to watch Kent Hovind and this channel literally debunks Hovind's claims.
Man, kent hovind, convicted criminal and con man who never admits when he's wrong, painful to watch.
Hovinds data is extensively footnoted. Acedemics dont refute the referenced data. Many however disagree with some, but not all of the conclusions Hovind draws from this data. Hovind was considered a masterful debater with a powerful delivery. Because of this, academics were advised not to participate in organized debates with Hovind. There was simply nothing to gain as they would loose more often than not. The reason for this is most acedemics had little or no experience with having their positions challenged. Hovind has had nothing but challenges when he debates. By design he is the underdog in these encounters. Thus he is prepared for and expects specific attacks. By responding with calculated application of publicly published reports and data he makes compelling arguments.
Such arguments are difficult to logically refute out of hand. Unfortunately recent discussion seems to focus less on hard data and more on personal desparagement.
That is a real pity...
get away from your father as fast as you can
They’re doing a very elaborate dance to save their old-age model. Sad.
Substantiate your claim.
Says the person trying to justify "magic sky wizards did it"
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Keep in mind though that while yes, 2 years is far less than 70 million, the tissue sample was nanometers in size. For comparison, the standard 1 millimeter on a ruler is one million times larger than a nanometer so the tissue was basically gone. Still, the fact that it was even there at all is extraordinary.
This is really really informative u deserve 1 million subs.
Oh my gosh, the young earth creationists in the comments that still say this is evidence for a young earth... Did they even watch the video? If your one piece of data contradicts millions of others, you assume the one has some kind of anomaly, not that all the others are wrong. I can't believe I used to believe this kind of stuff....
No you don't assume and there are several fossils that show carbon dating in dino fossils and soft tissue. The evidence is adding up
Alex Thompson incoherent sentence
Dragongirl, that's not how it works and I am not a Young Earther. You don't just go along with the majority all the time, each person needs to develop critical thinking skills and think outside the box and not always follow the majority like sheep.
That's the point of peer review. All peer reviewed research supports an old earth and old dinosaurs because it has been heavily scrutinized by other scientists. @@ArranVid
No wet tissue could survive millions of years.
Carbon 14 also found therefore less than 23,000 years old.
Who analyzed the samples that Schweitzer and her team found to confirm the presence of carbon-14? Where are their findings published? What other methods did the use to cross reference the claimed date?
Let's try to use real science, okay? | Do I look like Google ? Do your own research.
You are the one who claimed c-14 was found, where did you get that from, your ass? Modern c-14 dating can be accurate out to over 75,000 years if cross referenced properly.
You make a claim, you have the burden of proof, bud.
That is absolutely right. You made the claim that carbon 14 was found and that that somehow meant that the sample is less than 23,000 years old. Put up or shut up. Where is the evidence that backs up your very specific claim? Where did you get that very specific information. Who did the testing? Where did they get the sample from? Was the testing cross referenced to another method like it must be to be considered valid? You made the claim, you have the burden of proof, bud.
Has this soft tissue been carbon dated?
th-cam.com/video/eNY8xC3raDY/w-d-xo.html
yes and they have carbon in them. Which would seem to not be as old as they say. All this idiot does is drop a video that says iron caused it. lol so rust makes things last longer didnt you know! Anyway In fact, they tried to pay a well renowned scientist not gonna mention names, ( Jack Horner) refused over 20,000 to carbon date 5 samples and says he cant do that test and simply refuses to test these specimen. Hilarious. here ill link the article and video if you would like all you have to do is type it into youtube and see. They lose... period.
Why would you carbon date such a fossil when carbon dating cannot detect items older than 50,000 years? You would just get dumb results. Unless of course you wanted to be deliberately dishonest.
because the results should be unmessurable, you should get numbers off the chart, thing is you dont, you get numbers like 10,000, and 6,000 which seems to say there is still carbon in the bones which means they are less than 20,000 years old
Tyler Layman: No you would not, clearly you know nothing of the carbon dating process. It is like trying to measure one year with a twenty four hour clock. After a year all you would get is number 0-23. If you use the appropriate radio-dating method, you get the correct results.
Such an awesome youtube channel!
Here is a link to the guy who found the soft tissue in the triceratops horn in Montana . th-cam.com/video/8Sq5hCZCECQ/w-d-xo.html . He is a fully fledged scientist whose sole professional role is to examine dinosaur bones and an expert in preservation techniques . And he says iron cannot preserve this tissue for millions of years and explains why it cannot . Please review this “stated clearly “ and then explain why he is wrong .
Young earth creationists do not understand preservation.

bigtutubi get over yourself.
You didn't mention anything about the actual quantity of iron in either her experiment or how much was in the dino tissue.
Or how it's possible for the iron to travel throughout a dead animal's body.
Was the iron in her experiment the same level as the Dino's?
If the levels of iron are different, how does that affect her experiment?
Also, on a separate but similar note, how did the dino get buried?
If it died just randomly, scavengers would have devoured it. It seems like it would have had to have been in some kind of catastrophe.
What kind of catastrophe can drop tons of rock onto an animal and keep it preserved and mostly intact?
Please never stop educating!
Wonderful post. And have actually heard this soft tissue find as proof of a young Earth by Evangelical Christians. So nice to hear that dedicated scientists have studied this unusual phenomenon and have a reasonable answer. Unlike the creationist who so smugly told me, "We have proof now, and it's from YOUR scientists."
Arghh!!!
Turns out, Dr. Mary herself is a Christian who totally accepts evolution by natural selection via common descent. She's awesome & #womeninstem!
Jon, you're a national treasure.
Really well done! i was having a debate over this discovery with an evolution denier about a month ago... wish this video existed then.
+Anka Polo - well, if the person you were debating still exists, send it their way!
I've been doing research on the possibility of some fossils being younger than we originally thought, and so far, I'm not fully dismissed on the possibility yet
Nice video. A well crafted, high quality production value.
Narration is a touch dry; could use a little jazzing up in future productions.
Thank you. I had heard about the initial discovery of the preserved soft tissue in the T Rex bone in the popular press but had long since lost track of the story. I'm happy to have found the rest of the story here, Stated Clearly. Science is so much more interesting than religious dogma, don't you think? It has a narrative.
I was a young earth creationist when this story came out however many years ago. It so obviously confirmed that scientists were wrong about everything and dinosaurs lived with humans. My pastor totally agreed and used it to make me even more skeptical of the scientific elites... great vid! I think either potholer or viced rhino have both touched on this subject, but this is the most complete version of the story
Rick Turner that line about scientists being obviously wrong and humans living with dinosaurs made my mind cringe. Glad to see you are no longer a young earther. Congrats!
It's depressing how often YEC's cherry-pick interesting facts, assert the interpretation that fits their pre-existing worldview (never mind what the context says about that interpretation), and ignore the mountains of evidence _against_ that interpretation...before accusing the scientific community of ignoring evidence against their "scientific dogma".
Rick Turner
Dinosaurs still live with humans...
All members of Aves are descendents of the raptor dinosaurians.
But... Humans weren't around during the jurassic, and Jurassic dinosaurs weren't around when the first ancestors of modern man came down from the trees.
Nothing about these findings lends any credence to the idea that dinosaurs lived with humans, or that the earth is young, and Mary herself has stated this.
It is now well known, since the Stanford experiments of the 70s, that cooperation is more important to our brains than evidence. Confirmation bias is the road to cooperation. Look at the stories of people leaving extreme liberalism or extreme conservativism: near the end, these people were apologetic of their groups despite obvious bias all the way up until the point where they could no longer reconcile the obvious truth with their beliefs. Admitting you are wrong in these circumstances often gets you ejected from your group of friends, family, etc. It's hard.
Mary looks so heroic. But it's obvious that any anomaly in paleontology must prove that the earth is 6000 years young, and Adam and Eve were literal people. Obviously.
The real Question is, if this maked jurassic park possible
Excellent, plain English explanations.
Thanks so much for your videos.
Shouldn't the channel be called "Stated Succinctly"?
The word "Clearly" connotes loudly cutting through the bs, as does the megaphone logo.
an 8 minute video isn't particularly succinct. It's clarity they are after, which is different from brevity. That's why they go and tell the whole story of Mary Schweizer's discovery rather than simply stating her findings in a few sentences. They could have simply explained her conclusion and detailed her experiment. Instead they told the whole story so that the scientific process she went through would be clear to their audience. Thus "Stated Clearly" is an excellent name for the channel.

Obvious Poe is obvious.
Not that I don't like that cool idea that my thousand-year old grandpa could have witnessed a Dinosaur, but having the current consensus showing models and their evidence contradicting this, it don't look like that's it. This lad even talked about how it could have lived for over millions of years, with another link showing it may not have even been from the dinosaur in his pinned comment.

Like you said, 2 years is a far cry from 65 million years, so an act of desperation on Schweitzer's part to explain soft-tissue preservation via bonding with iron. Besides this, the solution of iron she used was gained through a very complex set of procedures in the lab, and in no way represents anything that can occur in the field, so you cannot use her experiment to explain naturally occurring preservation. Furthermore, multiple investigations are finding DNA markers. DNA as a molecule does not bind with iron compared to the larger protein molecules, so iron cannot be invoked to explain the preservation of DNA. But don't take my word for it, Prof. Matthew Collins
from the University of York states "I have yet to hear a plausible explanation for how soft tissues can be preserved for this long … for me they’re defying basic chemistry and physics. … Iron may slow down the decay process but it’s not clear how it could be arrested altogether.” (Morton, M.C., Cretaceous collagen: Can molecular paleontology glean soft tissue from dinosaurs? Earth 16 October 2017; earthmagazine . org).
In another paper it is stated: “Proteins decay in an orderly fashion. We can slow it down, but not by a lot.” (Service, R.F., Scientists retrieve 80-million-year-old dinosaur protein in ‘milestone’ paper, Science 31 January 2017; sciencemag . org.)
Your video is, therefore, a trite and unsatisfactory answer to the enigma of soft-tissue preservation. Schweitzer has yet to give a workable answer.
Lying for jesus i see.
@@devilmonkey427 In a paper published in January 2020 "Evidence of proteins, chromosomes and chemical markers of DNA in exceptionally preserved dinosaur cartilage" National Science Review 0:1-8, doi:10.1093/nsr/nwz206; the six lead scientists find chemical markers for DNA. DNA cannot be preserved by iron. They also state in their paper "Unlike dinosaur osteocytes that often present a reddish hue
due to iron inclusions, Hypacrosaurus chondrocytes are transparent (Fig. 4A and B), suggesting a different preservation mode." In other other words these bone cells have no iron in them. This "different preservation mode" they hint at in the paper is not mentioned again. Iron is not the get-out-of-jail free card they are hoping for. And no, this is not "lying for Jesus" as you so ignorantly and crassly insinuate- this is scientific fact- so get over it.
@@brainzpvz2592 To try and extrapolate from 2 years to 65 million years is absurd. But the paper ref I gave above Schweiter found T-rex tissue with no iron therefore her supposed preservation mechanism is irrelevant. Evolutionists have no means to preserve dinosaur soft tissue therefore it cannot be millions of years old.
@@brainzpvz2592 If you see my comments above, I give full references to Schweitzer's papers, including where she finds T-rex soft tissue with NO iron, they are described as 'transparent'. Also, see the refs to scientists who don't take her iron rescuing device at all seriously. In other words, you don't even have 2 years to play with. Schweiter has debunked her own rescuing device. Triceratops soft tissue is also known, as also is Hadrosaur, but the one that beats them all is soft tissue found inside a pre-Cambrian tube worm: Moczydłowska, M., Westall, F. and Foucher, F., Microstructure and biogeochemistry of the organically preserved Ediacaran Metazoan Sabellidites, Journal of Paleontology 88(2):224-239, 2014
The researchers state the following: "The Sabellidites [tube-worm] organic body is preserved without permineralization. Minerals have not replicated any part of the soft tissue and the carbonaceous material of the wall is primary, preserving the original layering of the wall, its texture, and fabrics.” and "The tube of S. cambriensis was flexible, as shown by its soft deformation and preservation, and composed of fibers perfect in habit and parallel arranged in sheets, and then sheets in layers.” This was in pre-Cambrian rock supposedly 550 million years old. No way!
@Brain PVZ Schweiter admitted in an interview on NBC (see her full interview here: th-cam.com/video/ynXwAo9V_pY/w-d-xo.html)
“It is utterly shocking, and it flies in the face of everything we know about how tissues and cells degrade...” and "it is utterly shocking... a lot of our science doesn't allow for this, all of the chemistry and all of the molecular breakdown experiments we have done don't allow for this...". She knows about molecular break-down experiments, all proteins, including DNA have half-lives that can be observed and calculated for different temperatures. There is no experimental evidence to demonstrate that biomolecules can last for multi-millions of years (even when they are frozen in lead-lined containers to protect them from all external energy and radiation sources). Nielsen-Marsh, C., 2002. Biomolecules in fossil remains. Multidisciplinary approach to endurance. The Biochemical Society. published a table of protein and DNA half-life results, at max they only last a few 10s thousands years at 10C, even less at 20C. This is observable, repeatable science. To make these biomolecules last for 65 million years even half a billion years runs against all known physics and chemistry. You have a lot of faith to believe these soft tissues are really 65 million years old and older.
