Doubtful.
By definition, there is a lot that scientists don’t know, because the whole point of science is to explore the unknown. By being clear that scientists haven’t explained everything, Schweitzer leaves room for other explanations. “I think that we’re always wise to leave certain doors open,” she says.

Thank you for making my point. :doh:

But schweitzer’s interest in the long-term preservation of molecules and cells does have an otherworldly dimension: she’s collaborating with NASA scientists on the search for evidence of possible past life on Mars, Saturn’s moon Titan, and other heavenly bodies. (Scientists announced this spring, for instance, that Saturn’s tiny moon Enceladus appears to have liquid water, a probable precondition for life).

Do you ever look at recent references?

Further discoveries shown that the discovery of soft tissue in B. rex wasn’t just a fluke. Schweitzer and Wittmeyer have now found probable blood vessels, bone-building cells and connective tissue in another T. rex, in a theropod from Argentina and in a 300,000-year-old woolly mammoth fossil. Schweitzer’s work is “showing us we really don’t understand decay,” Holtz says. “There’s a lot of really basic stuff in nature that people just make assumptions about.”

I.e not blood cells.

They did not discover any blood cells.

Yes, since science doesn't deal in truths but facts and they can change with time when new evidence is found or old evidence is re-looked at.
The fact of Pluto being a planet was later revised to the truth of it's dwarfness.

And why was Pluto reclassified as a dwarf planet?

One member here can't seem to grasp what actually occured.

And a filbert is to a Phillip's screwdriver as an anjou is to a journalist.
Men love darkness, rejects evidence, truth, facts, because we are in darkness, because our deeds are evil.
