DNA in ancient fossils. DNA extracted from bacteria that are supposed to be 425 million years old brings into question that age, because DNA could not last more than thousands of years.
Since creationists deny most dating methods, isn't this an invalid argument?
Sceptics attribute the reported DNA ‘finds’ to contamination of samples, or later intrusion of DNA-containing organic matter into the geological formation. Indeed, some claims have been overturned
Oh yeah, I forgot. Being sceptical is a bad thing, especially if one is sceptical of a young earth, or if one postulates that a highly probable contamination may have taken place.
