Stupidity has no limitations.
The saddest part of this is that the people who are attempting to hide the fossils don't see the connection to the nazi book burnings of pre-war Europe.

4. The Observer: Kenya bishop leads anti-evolution fight
According to secular media accounts, well-meaning clergy are putting up a fight over the display of a fossil collection at the National Museum of Kenya. The collection includes a variety of pieces of alleged “apemen,” including “those of the 4 million-year-old apeman, Australopithecus anamensis, the 1.5 million-year-old remains of the Nariokotome boy … and a series of other bones that highlight crucial phases of our evolutionary past.”
Bishop Boniface Adoyo, one of the clergy, was quoted to say that the fossils are “a big weapon against Christianity that’s killing our faith … [w]hen children go to museums they’ll start believing we evolved from these apes.”
On one hand, we agree with Bishop Adoyo that evolutionary indoctrination—which comes through both public schools and museums—is a danger to children and can result in a fatalistic mindset (and the consequences of such a mindset) when students accept that life is just an accident. But while we oppose evolutionary indoctrination, we do not believe students should be prevented from hearing the sad story of evolution—as long as they are exposed to the “whole story,”evolution warts and all. When both interpretations of the evidence are presented, the lack of support for molecules-to-man evolution may lead people to see that the Bible does make sense!

fossils cannot speak. You still have to "interpret" them in to the conceptual framework of your worldview.
-If someone found a bone. Can you draw entire body out of 1-5 bones? Some people (specially Darwinists) think they can. And they succesfully tried to do it. To "scientifically" draw on the paper what would entire body (including hair) would look. How do they know it? Easy! Good imagination.
p.s. link is broken indeed

Your web source seems to have disappeared. But, what fossils, what church, what scientists, what museum. How gullible are you? Sounds like you're ready to believe anything that appeals to your prejudicial lack of logic.

Don't you know that the world is flat? It is human nature to be fearful of anything that threatens your world view.
