Schweitzer and soft tissue

This is the thread's initial revision.

I'm working on getting a serviceable article on Mary Schweitzer and intended to expand soft tissue material to specifically address CMI's persistent misrepresentations of her research, including claiming that she's discovered intact protein, DNA, and cells. I see that you've done a lot of research on ICR's responses. Mind seeing what you can adapt?

I've long been irked by CMI's approach because it's so transparently dishonest. It relies solely on Weiland's claim, based on a popular article that directly contradicts the paper Schweitzer published on this exact research, that discovered intact blood vessels and blood cells in dinosaurian fossils. Weiland's also misrepresented that the bone tissue Schweitzer examined was "unfossilized," when the research is clear that it was partly mineralized. CMI creationists typically trot out responses to objections to this claim based on the fallacy of the excluded middle. It's either 100% this or 100% that. Never what the researchers say it is when it's contrary to the "biblical worldview." Sarfati continues to claim Schweitzer's early research included finding blood cells by ... citing Weiland.

What do you think?
