DNA, that can only last about 10,000 years, found in salt
supposedly up to 400 million years old. More falsification of the
ages claimed by evolutionists.

Intact DNA Discovered in Ancient Salt Deposits
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
Researchers recently analyzed bacterial DNA that was found in
small pockets within various salt deposits. The focus of their
research was to compare differences in DNA sequences taken from
different geological ages. However, the very fact that DNA�with
its short half-life�was found at all comes as a surprise to those
who were thoroughly convinced of the material�s great ages.

The team of scientists, led by Jong Soo Park of Dalhousie
University in Canada, published their findings in the journal
Geobiology.1 In order for the DNA they examined to still be
present in the salt deposits after millions of years of
evolutionary time, it must have been maintained within living
bacterial bodies�which have actually been extracted from these
salts in earlier studies.2 This is because laboratory studies of
DNA decay rates have repeatedly shown that DNA segments of the
length that Park and his colleagues found should not have lasted
more than 10,000 years, even when dried out. That suggests the
bacteria must have been actively living for eons, in order to
maintain the DNA�s integrity.

This raises another question that is equally difficult to
reconcile with evolutionary time. The bacteria are known to have
been in isolated pockets within solid salt deposits. There are no
cracks leading to or from these pockets, so the salt-loving
species of bacteria must have come from a tiny population that
was trapped there since the vast salt deposit was formed. That�s
what makes its DNA valuable to the investigators, since the
specimens have been isolated from outside influences. But living
bacteria, like any other living thing, produce metabolic waste
that becomes toxic. Why did they not poison themselves to death
in mere thousands of years?

Despite lingering questions like these, Melanie Mormile of
Missouri University of Science and Technology told Discovery
News: �There is better and better evidence that these organisms
can somehow survive for these amazing amounts of time.�3 Both
common sense and science, though, argue that they could not have
survived. Therefore, a more reasonable conclusion from this data
would be that there is better and better evidence that these
�amazing amounts of time� are actually too amazing to be true.

This miniscule amount of bacterial DNA seems to send a massive
message about the young age of the salt deposits in which they
were found. And what better mechanism to explain the formation of
such huge salt deposits containing still-fresh bacteria
populations than a recent, worldwide, watery cataclysm?4

Still lying and distorting data for your Jeebus, I see. Gabriel, doesn't
your religion say you'll roast in hell for lying?

"half-life" is a term applied to radioactive substances. DNA has no
half-life, since it is not radioactive.

Those findings are perhaps of interest. Brian Thomas's opinions are
not.

"DNA decay rates" apply to dead things. Since the claim is that the
bacteria are living, the term is inapplicable.

>That suggests the bacteria must have been actively living for eons,

Actually, it could be living quite passively.

>But living

Your evidence is lacking.

>Despite lingering questions like these

asked by clueless idiots like this.

Notice that there are no quotes from actual journal articles.

Science does not argue any such thing.

Common sense is commonly wrong.

which may be why Ms Mormile talked about "evidence".

It does no such thing.

You don't even understand what you posted! THAT is obvious. Here is a
better reference:

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122659280/abstract
works out better. I didn't catch when I clicked the link on the
original ICR page that it got redirected and then got a cookie
error.

And notice on the page you referenced:
"It's a bold claim, but evidence suggests the creatures may be
nature's Rip Van Winkles, hunkering inside salt deposits for eons
until natural forces -- or in this case, humans -- bring them
back to the surface."

Bold to say the least! More like say whatever they wish and pass
it off as scientific fact: that these individual creatures were
like the fictional story rip van winkle and merely slept through
hundreds of millions of years like rip van winkle did, only to
wake up and find we're not in Kansas anymore, as if that explains
the impossible event that such creatures could live hundreds of
MILLIONS of years without dying.

"There is better and better evidence that these organisms can

somehow survive for these amazing amounts of time,"

That's the problem, it's not evidence of any such thing. Only
their belief that any creature lived that long and never died,
and that belief passed off as scientific, let alone fact.

And they pass off such storytelling as science? More evidence of
how our schools need to get back to actual science: that which is
observable and able to be shown in test cases actually happening
- not storytelling passed off as scientific, let alone fact.

What I know to be true is that creationists have taken the times when there
was a rush to judgment and blow that up to outrageous proportions.

YOU know better than men and women who have studied 12/20 or more years on a
complex subject and DO NOT have a religious bias?

No, it's you creationist that put forth bogus science. I've watched videos
on how creationists try to prove that the earth is only 6,000 years old and
that there was a world wide flood using nonsense and pseudo science.

The history of language might well be 6,000 years old--the explanation
below demonstrates how 6,000 years can be understood as reprise of the
Genesis chronological elements commencing the 4th day.

You are correct on the world wide flood using nonsense and pseudo science.

The Sabbath as a rule associated with the Priestly service divisions of
24 x 7 x 13 = 2184 days as 6D (6 x 364 days) 'oth cycle is determined by
computation from the Wednesday of the March Equinox following the elapse
