Science shows that dinosaur fossils are found with plants
that are very familiar to us such as sassafras, oak,
magnolia, palm, willow, and now, grasses. But according to
evolutionary theory, grasses should not be found with
dinosaurs because these plants did not evolve until 80
million years later. A recent discovery has stunned the
secular scientific community indicating that between “65
million and 71 million years ago” plant-eating dinosaurs
were consuming different species of grass. A paleobotanist
working in India was “totally shocked” to discover grasses
in sauropod dinosaurs’dung. Surprise was also the reaction
of a fellow evolutionist upon her recent discovery of soft
dinosaur tissue (see

This is perhaps one reason why the presence of grass in dinosaur dung remained undiscovered for so long. The unobserved, unproven macroevolutionary theory states that grasses were not contemporary with dinosaurs; grasses did not exist until the post-dinosaur era according to evolution. Therefore, scientists did not bother looking for something their theory said did not exist. No wonder evolutionists exhibit such surprise at this wholly unexpected find! This is yet another example of evolutionists putting the cart (unobserved theory) before the horse (scientific evidence).
Creation scientists see a world just thousands of years
old. With this narrow time-scale, it is not surprising when
soft dinosaur tissue is encountered, or when grossly
“out-of-order” discoveries are made such as grasses found
with dinosaurs, or when fish (vertebrates) are discovered in
the “wrong” rock layer! (see
http://www.fredheeren.com/boston.htm )
Yet, undeterred, two Smithsonian evolutionists simply state
in regard to dinosaur ecology that “These remarkable results
will force reconsideration of many long-standing
assumptions.” Creation scientists would urge Darwinists to
reconsider the larger long-standing assumption of
macroevolution as well. http://www.icr.org/article/dinosaurs-grasses-darwinism/
