Fossils and archaeology. Evolutionary assumptions place fossil formation millions of years in the past. However, fossils themselves present some problems with this assumption. Many palaeontologists have now been able to extract soft tissues from fossils, such as proteins, DNA, collagen, red blood cells and haemoglobin. These molecules are very delicate and degrade in 20,000 years or less in average conditions. This evidence is completely at odds with long age theories. Soft tissue molecules, such as DNA, also provide evidence that directly challenges conventional thought about species evolution.
