Dinosaur Blood and the Age of the Earth

Can dinosaur blood and other soft tissues survive for millions of years? Fossils have preserved evidence—but what does it show?



In this careful analysis, biochemist Fazale Rana demonstrates the scientific plausibility of recovering soft tissue remnants from ancient sites. Rana also shows how traces of dinosaur blood—claimed by some as evidence for a young earth—instead strengthen the case for an old earth and, thus, for the reliability of Scripture.



When dinosaur blood was first recovered, a believe-it-or-not story turned out to be true, and it changed a scientific paradigm. Rana urges readers to investigate all the facts prior to forming hard conclusions. If a Creator is responsible for providing humans with reliable information about himself and his creation, then Christians need not worry about surprising discoveries in any area of scientific inquiry.
