The thigh bone from a T Rex was discovered during an archaeological dig in part of the Hell Creek formation located in a remote area of Montana State in the US. The bone, which was being helicoptered out, needed to be broken apart in order to fit it in. In the process, they discovered that the bone had soft tissue inside -- including cells and blood vessels.

The bone, says evolutionists, is pegged to be 70 million years old. According to an article in journal Science, which reported the discovery, this tissue had not fossilized and retains "some of the original flexibility, elasticity and resilience."  

Archaeologists have recovered fossils which had preserved the shape of some tissues but this is the first time they have found un-fossilized soft tissue. The find has some wondering if there would be DNA available to possibly clone a T Rex.

According Ken Ham, the president of Answers in Genesis, this discovery is strong evidence for creationism.

"The reason this is such startling news is because you just wouldn't expect soft tissue and cells like this in bones supposedly 70 million years old," he said.

It would be virtually impossible for bones tens of million of years old to still be soft and Ham called it convincing evidence that this 70-million year old bone is only a few thousand years old and probably dates back to the flood. It is evidence for a young earth.

However, Ham does not expect this discovery to change the minds of many evolutionists. He says there views are so entrenched that they will not allow contrary evidence to challenge their beliefs. Instead, they will look for ways to rationalize the find, so it can still fit with their preconceived ideas.
