1. In the 1990s it was believed soft tissue could not last longer than 10,000 years. Dinosaurs died off millions of years ago (according to the model). Why would they ever predict to find soft tissue in dinosaur fossils?
2. There is no measurable C14 left after 1,000,000 years; diamonds are believed to be some of the oldest stones on earth, ranging in the hundreds of millions to even billions of years old. Why would they ever predict to find C14 in diamonds while holding to their assumptions? The same is true of coal.
3. Petrified wood was thought to take millions of years, so finding pieces of wood that were only partially petrified would have been impossible given this assumptions, yet we find them all the time today. I actually found one over Labor Day weekend of this year.
