Haven't you heard of the Pilltdown Man, one of the greatest hoaxes in history?

Come on, evolution is fake

First of all, it's not "evolutionist", jackass

Second of all,
We know there are such things 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.

Third of all, a scientific theory stands or falls according to how well it is supported by the facts, not according to who believes it.

Fourth of all, buy a science book and read it!

There are -in fact- MANY other hoaxes, which are each introduced as a "Breakthrough" and are highly tooted in the press as "The missing link" but then are forgotten and very conveniantly NOT UN-tooted by the press nor the schoolbooks when they are in fact found to be another bogus lie.
The main point of arguement AGAINST evolution is not whether these supposed half/ape half/human skulls are authentic or NOT. Even if they are ALL real ( which in fact we know and your very rabidly outspoken critics have even acknowledged that they are not) it doesn't help the theory or support it much. You see, you don't need ONE skull, but hundreds of thousands of transitory fossils to establish the existence of a species. There is one place where hundreds of thousands of fish were fossilized in a few square miles. You don't need hundreds of millions of Piltdown, but you sure as shootin' got to come up with some cousins and uncles and some grandmas or else were gonna have to believe that he just appeared outta nowhere which is just as hard -even for an athiest- as just believin' that God created us in the first place. But -sad to say for the athiest/evolutionary/ pseudo-scientist- these large quantities of missing links JUST DON'T EXIST! (Could that possibly be because the never happened Oh, perish the thought!.) We should be up to our necks in transitory fossil mutations, but we Ain't.
By the way, last week they found a LIVE "primitive shark" that the scientists had believed to have been dead 200,000,000 years (Really impressive number of zero's huh? Reminds me of a roster of renowned evolutionists!) Does this mean that the fish was raised from the dead, or that the scientific estimate of the rock strata where fish fossils had been found was a "slight" 200.000.000 years off?
Of course I'm tough on evolutionists! They taught me that insanity as an unwitting child, forceably, as being "science" in school, without even permitting an alternative view. That's what Hitler said, If you're gonna tell a lie, you gotta tell a really big one, because then the people will think `Oh, he COULDN'T be lying about THAT`"
By the way, they know the earths slowing down every year and how much. So if you take that rate and back it up even 200,000,000 years, you know how long a day's gonna be. Would you believe between 2 and 4 hours (oh dear!) that would like sling EVERYTHING off the planet into space. Magma, crust, pie and all! --Sionarra And How!

Actually, the detection of the Piltdown hoax is one of the stongest demonstrations that scientists (not the pejorative "evolutionists") are honest, and that the Creationists rely on deception. The hoax was detected because the data was continually retested. Creationists use this one hoax, which has been properly discredited, to try to claim that the work of hundreds of thousands of people over the last century and a half is all fake. Mind you, if the criterion that one lie disproves the theory were applied to Creationists, they're in big trouble since almost every one of them gets caught in numerous lies.

Oh, and there haven't been many religious hoaxes? Come on, there have been heaps!

Many more than scientific hoaxes. And just because there was one hoax doesn't mean all the evidence is fake.

Keep fooling yourself, you are obviously too weak to handle reality.

Piltdown Man was a hoax, but that wouldn't negate evolution as a theory.
Similarly, the image of the Virgin Mary in a rust stain in an underpass wasn't really an image of the Virgin Mary, but that doesn't negate Catholicism as a belief system.

*yawn* *drink*

This one's almost as clueless as the Pascal's wager asker.

Yo Stewie, REAL defenders of the faith stopped using that lame apologetic decades ago. And don't bother posting about Nebraska Man, Peking Man, New Guinea Man, or Lucy's kneecap either.

You need to stop getting your info from Dr. Dino and those Chick tracts. Chick is an unimaginable ignoramus, and Dr. Dino wouldn't know honesty if it did him in his jail cell. Try Answers in Genesis instead. They're just as wrong as Chick and Hovind, but at least they pose some halfway decent arguments.

Piltdown Man was not one of the greatest hoaxes, just one of the most publicised. There are far greater hoaxers and hoaxes. If evolutionaries would consult their Bibles they would see what I mean. And may God have mercy on their soles.

I have not heard of Piltdown Man. Sorry. Evolution is a scientifically accepted theory. Until you can prove it wrong, I will continue to believe it.


Is evolutionism a new religion I haven't heard about?

one hoax does not a scientific discipline slay.
it was exposed, was it not? exactly.

On the other hand, if we can disprove but one part of the bible the thing falls apart. Tell me, does the moon emit light as the bible says, or does it reflect light from the sun. And don't you think a big god would have known that?

Evolution happens every time. It is a proven fact and is not an Atheistic concept. Who are you to say that God could not have used evolution as his method of creation.
