Of course, not everyone is happy with this find.2 The dinosaur is ‘dated’ at 75 million years old, but precise calculations based on the laws of science demand that DNA should be totally disintegrated long before that.
Dinosaur DNA Found

Isn't the premise of the Jurassic Park franchise (I've not seen any of the movies) a scientist who discovered dinosaur DNA and cloned up a bunch of wild raptors?
It is, but it conveniently ignored the fact stated in the OP.
Since when does Hollywood care about facts?
How would you know dinosaur DNA if you actually ran across it?
Also, there is quite a bit of imagination going on when recreating what we think dinosaurs should have looked like. All we have to go with are bones and skeletons.

Finding it in dinosaur remains might be a clue.
The only remains of dinosaurs are the bones which are all fossilized. No DNA from there.
That's not true. Many specimens of dinosaur soft tissue have been discovered, the most notable was the blood cells discovered in the marrow of a T-Rex fossil by Mary Schweitzer.

The dinosaurs didn't die out as long ago as we've been taught.
Dinosaur soft tissue
Evolutionist Mary Schweitzer trying desperately to explain dinosaur soft tissue by saying iron in blood preserved it 70+ million years.

Good point and this is quite interesting.That's not true. Many specimens of dinosaur soft tissue have been discovered, the most notable was the blood cells discovered in the marrow of a T-Rex fossil by Mary Schweitzer.

We still cannot look to DNA and from there, figure out what a particular dinosaur looked like though. There was a clip on YouTube somewhere making the point that much of what we think dinosaurs look like are based upon artistic imagination and then they use the skeletal structures of modern species (cows, birds, giraffes, elephants, etc.) to come up with made up "dinosaur" like creatures.
That is true. All they have found are fragments. An entire viable molecule, among a host of other things, would be needed to even think of cloning.
I suspect, though, that some may have looked like some of the ancient depictions of dragons.
True. We need to get an island in the tropics and genetically modify a lizard with this strand of DNA.

I am always entertained by the comparison of some currently existing animals to dinosaurs, the snapping turtle for example. The more obvious conclusion is that the snapping turtle is a dinosaur.
Have you heard about tyrannosaurus rex being related to the modern chicken? I'm not making it up...

I've heard this from the researchers at MTSU and at Augusta University
I wonder if they said this with a straight face.

I believe they did...of course, they'd be the kind of "scientists" that backed the storyline we were forced to listen to concerning the issues during the plandemic.
