Metcalfe, you keep making a mistake in saying that "if this, then all similar situations must be true."  Evidence doesn't have to be complete, just interesting, relevant, and true.  Time will tell.[[User:RobertK|RobertK]] 21:21, 22 January 2008 (EST)

But thats not what I am pointing out. I am pointing out that the claim of "Soft tissue" does not mean "soft" as shown by 2 credible resources above. I can find more with ease so why does no-one revert this soft tissue claim?

:: The [http://www.answersincreation.org/argument/D612_creation_science.htm AnswersInCreation response] is terribly lightweight and answers nothing.
 +
:: Their objections have already been answered [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3427/ here].
 +
:: To briefly answer AnswersInCreation's four points:
 +
::# That it was portrayed that way is rejected, is a matter of opinion anyway, and does not address the actual claims.
 +
::# That soft tissue could survive is nothing more than an unsupported ''ad hoc'' explanation: ''It is that old so it must have been able to survive somehow''.  Actual scientific evidence on the survivability of biological material refutes this argument.
 +
::# That more would contain soft tissue has not yet been investigated to any extent, as mentioned above.  This is an argument from silence, and thus invalid.
 +
::# This is not a criticism of the claim, but a counter-claim.
 +
:: So in summary, there's actually nothing of substance there in the way of a rebuttal!
 +
:: Your claim that the creation site is dubious is nothing more than you showing your anti-creationist bigotry.
 +
:: The soft tissue was contained in a mineralised matrix, which had to be dissolved.  But it's simply not true that something hard was made soft and stretchy by the demineralisation process.  You can't make rock soft and stretchy.
