The following is excerpted from \u201cMummified Trees,\u201d OneNewsNow.com, Jan. 9, 2018: \u201cIt was recently announced that a team of scientists found the fossilized trees on the ice-covered continent. They estimate that the trees are some 280 million years old and were preserved down to the cellular level after being rapidly buried in volcanic ash–preserved so well, in fact, that some of the amino acid building blocks that make up the trees; proteins can still be extracted. But Dr. Tim Clarey with the Institute for Creation Research says a more literal, biblical explanation that fits the science is that this is a result of the Great Flood told in the Old Testament. He explains that the most important thing the scientists noted they had found was that the trees had original protein in them. \u2018It isn\u2019t that they were frozen and preserved that way,\u2019 he tells OneNewsNow. \u2018These things were buried in rock. Just like the dinosaurs, we\u2019re finding more and more original proteins and blood cells and blood vessels in dinosaurs as well. These things are supposed to be 68 to 150 million years old; in this case, they\u2019re supposed to be around 280 million years old,\u2019 he continues–then asks: \u2018How do you have original proteins that survive that long?\u2019 … \u2018This is another example of Antarctica showing that there was a warmer climate down there at one point,\u2019 he states. \u2018It wasn’t always icy–that didn’t happen until after the Flood was over that the Ice Age really kicked in. In our opinion, at ICR, this fits exactly what the biblical story tells us in the Book of Genesis.\u2019 He says to explain this in an \u2018old age\u2019 system is very difficult–and argues that the discovery of original proteins is scientific, empirical evidence that shows the world isn’t as old as secular scientists believe.\u201d<\/p>\n
