The Earth sciences and Time Inflation

I get suspicious when seemingly impossible events aren't questioned. In my years of studying the origins question I've come across numerous incidents where organisms were reported to have survived millions of years without decomposing. Here's another example.

Quotes and comments;

1. 'When in Quttinirpaaq National Park in the Canadian Arctic, Ohio State University Earth scientist Joel Barker initially spotted some pieces of dead trees scattered on the barren ground near a glacier. Immediately, he knew he had found something akin to a looking glass peering into the Arctic's ecological past. [1.]

2. 'The Hazen Plateau on Ellesmere Island, a polar desert where winter temperatures can currently dip down to 50 below zero, is currently too cold and dry to support forests; the only living trees that now dot the park's desolate landscape are dwarf willows. Therefore, the pieces of wood must have come from trees that lived millions of years ago, when the Arctic was still warm enough to support forests.'

- Therefore?
As the imagined inflation that happened shortly after the big bang violates all we know about physics... so this story violates what we know about chemistry and decomposition. We know that wood doesn't last even remotely close to millions of years. Don't we?

What's so interesting to me about this story is that no one (apparently) even wondered how this was possible. If they did it's not mentioned in the article. Isn't 'observing' an impossibility interesting? You'd think so. (Maybe people have become so used to seeing the impossible, it's no longer a big deal. I wonder how long it will take for scientists to start questioning these dates.

3. 'The trees probably died in a landslide, as indicated by deposits still present on surrounding material. The killing landslide toppled and engulfed the trees quickly enough to seal them from oxygen and to prevent water from circulating through. The result: The remaining pieces of dead trees are now in a perfectly preserved mummified state, with much of their organic material still intact.'

4. 'In fact, the organic material in the dead trees is so well preserved that the wood can still burn, and even the most delicate tree structures, such as leaves, are present. "The dead trees look just like the dried-out dead wood lying outside now," said Barker.

- Don't forget that the temperature in the area (if this is truly where the trees came from) was much warmer when the trees were living. So how come so little decomposition in millions of years? Apparently there are things you can't question. (Not if you want a job or grant money at any rate.)

Everywhere you go you see that evolutionists need huge amounts of time to even begin to make the theory work. This means banks of time have to be manufactured. (In a similar way the inflation theory was invented to save Big Bang cosmology.) When all this manufactured time implodes all the sciences will have to be radically reworked. It would appear that no one even wants to contemplate such a thing... but if I'm right, such a 'revolution' is in the works. (Cue the music; "Time, the final frontier...'')
Not in my life time I don't suppose.

2. Definition of organic matter;
'Organic matter (or organic material) is matter that has come from a once-living organism; is capable of decay, or the product of decay; or is composed of organic compounds. The definition of organic matter varies upon the subject it is being used for.
3. In my opinion the long ages our evolutionary textbooks present us with is just as imaginary as Darwin's tree of life; both were manufactured by theory and speculation. I predict that one day they'll both go up in smoke.
