Those libbies with their so called "science" trying to tell as again that the world has been here for more than 6000 years. Pshhhhht. Believing this makes about as much sense as believing that anthropogenic climate change is real. Fricking liberals !

Satan put that amber there to mislead you and test your faith.

Hard to disprove.

McKellar said that soft tissue and decayed blood from the tail were found in the amber but no genetic material was preserved.

Evidence for the extraction of short segments of ancient DNA from dinosaur fossils has been reported on two separate occasions.[14] The extraction of protein, soft tissue, remnant cells and organelle-like structures from dinosaur fossils has been confirmed.[15][16][17] Blood-derived porphyrin proteins have also been discovered in a mid Eocene mosquito fossil.[18]
