DNA SHOULD DECAY AWAY IN ABOUT 125,000 YEARS

Nielson-Marsh, Christina, et al., “Biomolecules in fossil remains: Multidisciplinary approach to endurance,” The Biochemist, 12-14, June 2002

Last year, researchers estimated that the half-life of DNA — the point at which half the bonds in a DNA molecule are decayed as 521 years. ”

The half-life of DNA is shorter than even Carbon 14 (half life of 5,730 years- 10 times longer than DNA) which is only considered valid on samples up to about 50,000 years old. Apply this to DNA with a half life of 521 years and DNA decay should be valid only for samples of about 5,000 years as a maximum!

What is wrong with all these DNA structures dated as being beyond known half-life’s:

Any article or scientific claim regarding the discovery of DNA in any fossil or sample indicates scientifically that the sample is less than 125,000 years old and such a claim is FALSE.

In light of the observable half-life of DNA decay, any conclusion regarding fossils (or any sample) which contains DNA and is also purported as also being greater a few thousand years old as factually invalid.

DNA delays at a known rate, therefore such time limits renders conclusions that both the sedimentary layers and the fossils within them are (as a maximum) 125,000 years old. Finally, because decay rates are observable in the present and rock layers which contain the fossils are not observable– the dating should be ruled by the half-life of DNA and not based on evolutionary time scales of millions of years.

Therefore these claims below (and many, many others) are falsified and debunked as “ancient” DNA:

(Mary Schweitzer’s) papers have the potential to transform dinosaur paleontology into a molecular science, much as analyz­ing ancient DNA has revolutionized the study of human evolution.”
