    This is an insane find, but all I can think of is how this is going to be used by young earthers to spread their lunacy.

      They’re gonna do that anyway. The onus is on them to prove their statements. And since they can’t / won’t do it, we ignore them.

      The title implies the brain and gut weren’t fossilized, but in reading the article the miracle was the details that WERE fossilized that normally isn’t. But yeah, they’ll run with that title and claim it means a young Earth or scientists are liars or whatever

    That’s so cool they can use 3d imaging to study things like this now. They didn’t even need to chip it apart.
