Scientist Fired for Amazing Fossil Find

Mark Armitage

"A Christian author from the Pacific Northwest is adding his voice to a growing discussion across the country as a scientist at California State University is challenging his former employer in court after being fired for presenting fossil evidence undermining evolutionary 'millions of years' theory. As previously reported, Mark Armitage was a scientist at California State University--Northridge (CSUN) up until two years ago, where he worked as a researcher and supervised the school's electron microscope laboratory. He was suddenly terminated after he discovered soft tissue on a Triceratops fossil, the findings of which were also published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. ... He states because of his find and subsequent report, his supervisor entered the lab and declared, 'We will not tolerate your religion in this department!' ... Armitage recently appeared on the radio broadcast Creation Moments after listeners sent him hundreds of letters of support surrounding his legal challenge. '[W]e have the evolutionists on the run,' he said. 'They are scrambling to explain the presence of these delicate and life-like cells and tissues that could in no way survive the ravages of deep time.' ... 'Tell your unsaved friends that you have a friend (me) who has been going on dinosaur digs and is unearthing and publishing his findings of soft tissues. ... Tell them if soft tissues are the norm, then the Earth cannot possibly be old, and that suddenly Genesis is believable as actual history.' ... Daniel Greenup, author of Generation Why?, told Christian News Network on Friday that he is not surprised Armitage was fired over his discovery as evolutionists fear critical thinking. 'All of us were told about the importance of free inquiry, critical thinking and diversity in school, but it's really not true,' he said. 'Universities generally love diversity of skin color and diversity of sexual orientation, but they're not interested in diversity of opinion. They want you to believe what they believe, and they definitely don't want you to critically think about it. So, it comes as no surprise that Mr. Armitage has been fired for his findings.'"
