This is related to Tim Hulls post. //A scientist was terminated from his job at a California State University after discovering soft tissue on a triceratops fossil, and then publishing his findings. Pacific Justice Institute filed suit, yesterday, with the Los Angeles County Superior Court, against the board of trustees of CSU, Northridge, citing discrimination for perceived religious views. Terminating an employee because of their religious views is completely inappropriate and illegal, commented Brad Dacus, President of PJI. But doing so in an attempt to silence scientific speech at a public university is even more alarming. This should be a wakeup call and warning to the entire world of academia, he continued. While at a dig at Hell Creek formation in Montana, the scientist, Mark Armitage, came upon the largest triceratops horn ever unearthed at the site. When examining the horn under a high-powered microscope back at CSUN, Armitage was fascinated to see the soft tissue. The discovery stunned members of the scientific community because it indicates that dinosaurs roamed the earth only thousands of years in the past rather than going extinct 60 million years ago.// Can one of the Evolution hobbyist who fight this issue out routinely respond to the alleged scientific claim that this scientists discovered soft tissue in a dinosaur fossil? Is that simply soft tissue, i.e., flesh, neuronal tissue, that managed to fossilize or is it actual tissue or is it all just nonsense? Id write this off as Creationist nuttiness except for the fact that this guy managed to get something called the Pacific Justice Institute to go to bat for him. pacificjustice.org/press-releases/university-silences-scientist-after-dinosaur-discovery
