" I hope, that this post has not appealed to the authority of scripture ,as you claim, but testable ,repeatable science [albeit simple]."

That pete, is a lie plain and simple as you are NOT using science to endorse your argument at all. You are deliberately conflating the issues with regards to the role in preservation iron plays in soft tissue, and the fact proteins have been recovered from dinosaur bone and this has been tested and verified. For the upteenth time I suggest you read the papers associated with these findings, a fair few are available in the references a section on the Wikipedia page about Mary Schweitzer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Higby_Schweitzer

I actually don't know why I'm bothering, but you got to try right?
