Al,
There's been a lot of misunderstandings about Dr. Schweitzer's work. The preserved soft tissue was mineralized... completely fossilized. Dr. S had to demineralize the specimen and only then was soft tissue, after some fashion, left over.
See: http://animals.howstuffworks.c...fossil.htm/printable
It's not like they broke open a fossil and soft tissue was present right then and there.
Fossilized soft tissue, like skin and feathers, is extraordinarily rare, but there are examples.
Dr. Schweitzer recognizes the accepted age of the Earth and the age of dinosaurs. See: http://www.npr.org/templates/t...php?storyId=89942780
By the way, she's a Christian.
