D611:  T-Rex Blood Cells were found in 1997

 

Edited by Greg Neyman

 

Argument:  Paleontologist Mary Schweitzer discovered red blood cells within a t-rex bone, indicating that it could not be millions of years old

 

Source:   Answers in Genesis (http://www.answersingenesis.org/Docs/4232cen_s1997.asp)

 

Response: 

 

1. Young earth creationists never studied the cells, therefore they are in no position to make any claims about it

2. Schweitzer's teacher at the time, Dr. Jack Horner, firmly denounces it being red blood cells (click here to read).  They were the remnants of cells, but not actual cells
