I'm asking something about evolution?

Question

Do the following fake evidences:
- The Piltdown Man
- Haekel's Embryonic Drawings disprove that evolution theory?

I mean "the"

No, Yuri is George:

Yuri (Russian: Юрий, alternatively spelled "Yury," "Yurii," or "Iouri") is a Russian masculine name, etymologically related to the Slavic name Yarilo, later equated to the Christian name George.

All you can answer is "no"?

jonmcn, you don't understand!. The second answerer didn't edit his question for a few first minutes! His answer was only "no!"

I mean answer

Man! What does it take to not being misunderstood by people!!!

I never give thumbsdown or thumbsup to anyone, someone might did

I was talking with secretsause and asked him why just "no" with no explanations

Answer 1

No. They do not disprove the evolution theory in the slightest.

Frauds and hoaxes by *individual* scientists and non-scientists occur.

Frauds and hoaxes by the *entire scientific community* do NOT occur. How do we know that? Because it was the scientific community that exposed these hoaxes, and discarded them from the evidence. Scientists are relentless in their scrutiny of each other, they are jealous and skeptical of every claim made by a fellow scientist. And they are brutal in their condemnation of someone guilty of fraud. NO scientist takes Piltdown seriously anymore ... and anybody who brings up Piltdown must be truly desperate.

Science deals with things like the Piltdown by removing them from the list of evidence ... deleting them ... forgetting them ... tossing them on the dustbin of history. They are not evidence of ANYTHING and therefore not worth remembering.

Creationists do the opposite. They *enshrine* hoaxes ... both those of science, and their own. They bring them up in perpetuity:

Long debunked scientific hoaxes that no scientist takes seriously, the creationist props up as if it was the "backbone of the evolutionist case", in order to pretend to demolish it yet again for the adoring fans.

But long debunked *creationist* hoaxes (like the Paluxy dinosaur footprints, or the Lady Hope story of Darwin's "deathbed conversion"), the creationists keep forever in their quiver of arrows. It does not matter how many times they are shown to be baseless, the creationist continues to bring it up anyway.

In other words, scientists discard their mistakes. Creationists polish theirs up to a bright shine.

Yuri, (and everyone), my apologies for my first "No." response which apparently caused some confusion. Too many times I have gone to write a complete response, and upon posting it find my nice long answer buried as Answer #26 (and few people read past the first few answers). So I post a quick response, to reserve my place, and then edit up the full response. But this was only a few minutes (I'm a fast typer).

Answer 2

no, you would have to disprove all evidence here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_evidence
and provide a theory that does explains all those and provides a better way to treat genetic disorders, produce better agricultural species and fight off diseases.

PS Yuri is Yuri. George is Georgiy in Russian.

Answer 3

Of course not.

We know there is such a thing as fake money, bogus checks, counterfeit credit cards, forged passports; do the existence of those bogus items invalidate the world economic system?

Fake evidences only disprove their own validity; if the theory is supported by other evidences -- and in the case of evolution, there is plenty of those -- then the theory still stands.
