Dinosaurs: What Happened?

Dr. Mark Aramitage has been doing first-of-its-kind work. As a result of a belief in evolution, when fossil bones were prepared, they were done so in a way that destroyed soft tissue. It was a known "fact" that soft tissue could not last millions of years, so why worry about trying to preserve it? Dr. Armitage took a different approach and intentionally looked for soft tissue in dinosaur bones. And he found it! Lots of it! He now estimates that 90% of all dinosaur bones have soft tissue.
Bones are hard, and they are typically what we think of when fossils come to mind. Soft tissue includes almost everything else. And because it is soft, it decays very rapidly. It is impossible for soft tissue to last even a million years, let alone the 65 million years since the last dinosaur supposedly died.
A little know fact is that most dinosaur bones are not fossils. They are still the original bone. For example, dinosaur "fossils" from Montana's Hell's Creek formation are famous for stinking... they smell. They literally smell rotten because they are still decaying.
One of the first things Dr. Armitage discovered were osteocytes. These are the cells that make up bone. They should not be there. They can not last millions of years. But... as he looked through his microscope, there they were. This alone was sufficient to prove the "fossil" triceratops horn he was studying was not millions of years old.
Others had already found red blood cells, veins, and collagen in dinosaur bones. But, what Dr. Armitage found next was astounding... nerves!
"We were actually seeing the nerve bundles that travel with vessels and veins inside the dinosaur bones... This is a world-first discovery. It means that none of these dinosaur bones can be old." - Dr. Mark Armitage
He also found vein valves. These are tiny one-way valves inside veins that prevent the blood from flowing backwards between heartbeats. These valves are very delicate and cannot survive millions of years. However, what was more astounding was that, bacteria trapped in one of the valves was still alive! Dr. Armitage is not a microbiologist, so he does not have the tools to study bacteria, but he did film them. Living bacteria trapped in a blood vein when the dinosaur died! (Note: It is known that bacterial can create a hard shell that allows them to survive in harsh conditions for possibly thousands of years. Bacteria have been extracted from ancient amber and activated -- brought to life).
Dr. Armitage was looking at dinosaur bone fossils in ways no one had ever done before, and that led to another incredible world-first discovery... blood clots in the bone-vascular channels. Not just a few. They were common, including in the Haversian canals and pushing into the connecting Volkmann's canal. Separate blood cells are seen adhering to the vessel walls. Why is this significant?
(1) Blood clots are additional proof the dinosaur died recently, in the range of thousands of years ago, not millions of years.
(2) Dr. Armitage writes:
"It has been discovered that human victims of drowning suffer from clotting throughout their bodies including clots inside the bones as a result of the trauma associated with asphyxiation in water. We have observed clotting in dinosaur bones from five different dinosaurs to date."
As reported by M. Levi in the paper "Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation," Crit. Care Med, 35(9):2191-2195 (2007), the type of blood clotting Dr. Armitage found in dinosaurs is symptomatic of drowning. The forensic evidence says that the dinosaurs were killed by drowning. We now have the answer. Dinosaurs, except for those on the Ark, were killed by drowning.

Many people, when they die, will stand before Jesus and say:
Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? - Matthew 7:22
And Jesus will say to them:
I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. - Matthew 7:23
Get your Bible out and read Matthew 7:21-23. These are some of the most frightening verses in the Bible.
They describe people who believe with all their heart that they are saved. They have no doubt that they know Jesus and they've done many great things that prove this is true. Put Jesus says, 'Depart from me...' He doesn't know them.
Are you truly trusting Jesus? Scripture says to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Have you done that?
Do you read your Bible regularly? Do you fear false teaching? Are you growing in your obedience to God? Are you growing in your understanding of what God wants? Do you regularly share the good news about Jesus with others?
