Soft tissue in dinosaur bone and carbon-14 where there should be none. What the anomalies actually establish, what they do not, and where the young-earth case really rests.

Ninety-eight percent of your DNA was written off as leftover debris. Forty years of looking has revised that number in exactly one direction.

Nobody has ever measured the age of a rock. We measure something else and then reason backward. Say “4.5 billion
