 NEWS: There is now concrete evidence that fossilized dinosaur bones are at least 30 years old. This is the strange but true story of fossilization that evolutionists don't want you to know about.
It has been clever marketing ploy. When the word fossil is mentioned, your mind automatically flashes back millions of years to the time of the T Rex. Subliminally the word fossil has become synonymous with evolution.
One of the common ways fossils are formed is through the process of petrifaction. This occurs when mineral rich water seeps through organic material -- such as an animal or plant -- depositing calcium and silicon, eventually turning it into stone. The deposits fill in the cavities of the animal preserving the shape sometimes down to the cellular level.
Of course, all this takes time and in its own way fossilization has become the back bone of evolution. But how much time does it take for a bone to become a fossil?
Let's take a look at the strange story of Mabel Douglas. Douglass was the founding Dean of the New Jersey College for Women which she helped start in 1918. The college was renamed in her honor in 1955 and is part of Rutger University headquartered in New Brunswick, NJ.
In 1933, then retired, Douglass mysteriously disappeared while out canoeing in a nearby Lake Placid. Despite a search, her body was never found and she was presumed drowned.
But thirty years later her body was discovered by divers. It was lying on a shelf about 30 meters below the surface of the lake.
But this is where it gets strange. Her body was completely fossilized.
Despite what you have been led to believe, the process of turning her body into a fossil took less than 30 years.
Douglass remains were later buried in the somewhat infamous Green-Wood Cemetery located in Brooklyn. You can actually tour the cemetery and hear the strange story of the "Petrified Lady of Lake Placid."
