Piltdown Man: An Orang-utan Jaw and a Human Skull. Alleged to be 500,000 years old, they were displayed as an absolute proof of human evolution in several museums. For more than 40 years, many scientific articles were written on "Piltdown man", many interpretations and drawings were made, and the fossil was presented as important evidence for human evolution. No fewer than 500 doctoral theses were written on the subject. A lie that lasted 40 and challenged the faith of many Christians. But was proven a LIE.

Read about all the other lies that deceive Science and Christianity here:

Ask your self, do you put faith in a polished lie or do you believe in the bible which says that God created man in his own immage. God has said that all things will pass away, but my word will not pass away.

Choose you this day who you will serve. As for me and my house, I will serve the Lord.

Ah evolution the grasp at straws pseudo religion of *neo-paganism*
Another thorn in the side of evolutionists is the Coelacanth which they paraded for years as the ultimate example of the transitional form until they started turning up off the coast of Madagascar about 40yrs ago and God had the last laugh.

as already stated by several others, piltdown man, rather than being proof of the lie of evolution, is a fine example of how the scientific process actually works. Piltdown man was found to be a fake after intense scrutiny by the scientific field. All creationist did was what they always do, wait in the wings to point theit stubby, greasy finger aat any misconception or lack of evidence and say "i told you so".

But for every one pitdown man that casts the slightest doubt on evolution there are about ten billion fossils that back it up. Evolution has been proven to occur. Look at the AIDS virus for instance, prior to the 70's and 80's it did not exist, it mutated into existance, and has since mutated again to become resistant to various forms of medication. Look also at the common cold, there is a reason it cannot be cured. This is evolution my friend, this is how it works; changes occur within an organism dictated by environmental pressures.

Belief in evolution is not required when considering the amount of evidence that there is for it.

So you are asking us all to believe in the biggest con ever conceived, that being christianity in particular and religion in general? Also you need to do some independent research on the piltdown man. It seems your info has come from some tele-evangalist or a young earth website and it is not accurate in the least. Even after being proper educated I'm sure your blind faith will continue. The only deceit going on is your self induced deception. Some day you'll wake up and join the real world.

I completely applaud you for the particular debts you painstakingly worked to discover each and all of the errors of the Bible. Is it just to get on your very final thrust of disproving a concept or are you basically attempting to make an impact? i'm very inspired yet sorry despite it somewhat is which you stumble on as faults in the Bible, i don't think human beings will ever replace in one day. you're able to to boot have it carved on the stones or have it risk-free between the flaws that have been saved risk-free final millenium journey. it may be observed sometime at the same time with your words under that asserts, " I instructed you so." i will basically provide help to comprehend one journey; the single you stated that for the time of accordance to Genesis 3:14 snake loses it legs. How approximately examining Revelation 20:2 the place it says, "He seized the "dragon" that historical serpent, who's the devil or devil, and certain him for 1000 years."...The Dragon could be a delusion basically as a Serpent however the Dragon has legs and then there became into not greater dragon pronounced while the snake began to flow slowly on its abdomen. I too became into making some works yet i don't basically discover faults, I additionally attempt to maintain finding.

I wonder if it's even worth explaining to you how poor your argument is. Would you listen if I did?

Well, I'll point out the obvious: if the Turin shroud turns out not to have been wrapped around Jesus, will you claim Christianity is a great deceit and abandon it? Of course not. Similarly, the fact that Piltdown Man was a fake has nothing to do with the truth of evolution.

And please, at least try and get some idea of how evolution really works. I recommend having a look through this site: www.talkorigins.org

I don't even have to visit your link. I know there have been a few fraudulent fossil "finds".

The problem with your assertion is there have been thousands of legitimate fossil finds.

I generally hate cutting and pasting, but here is a list of legitimate transitional fossil finds:

* Fish to Amphibians
o Tiktaalik roseae
o Osteolepis
o Eusthenopteron
o Panderichthys
o Elginerpeton
o Obruchevichthys
o Hynerpeton
o Tulerpeton
o Acanthostega
o Ichthyostega
o Pederpes finneyae
o Eryops

* Amphibians to Amniotes (early reptiles)
o Proterogyrinus
o Limnoscelis
o Tseajaia
o Solenodonsaurus
o Hylonomus
o Paleothyris

* Synapsid (mammal-like "reptiles") to mammals
o Protoclepsydrops
o Clepsydrops
o Dimetrodon
o Procynosuchus
o Thrinaxodon
o Yanoconodon

* Diapsid reptiles to birds
o Yixianosaurus
o Pedopenna
o Archeopteryx
o Changchengornis
o Confuciusornis
o Ichthyornis

* Evolution of whales
o Pakicetus
o Ambulocetus
o Kutchicetus
o Artiocetus
o Dorudon
o Basilosaurus
o Eurhinodelphis
o Mammalodon

* Evolution of the horse
o Hyracotherium
o Mesohippus
o Parahippus
o Merychippus
o Pliohippus
o Equus

* Non-human apes to modern humans
o Pierolapithecus catalaunicus
o Ardipithecus
o Australopithecus
o Homo rudolfensis
o Homo habilis
o Homo erectus

It simply didn't make sense for me to re-type that.

No faith is necessary. I have plenty of evidence.

All I can say is the system works.

When it failed the peer reviewed testing and was shown to be a hoax, the idea was dropped and Piltdown man was regulated to the garbage heap of history. That is unless you're a creationist that brings it up all the time trying to prove something by referring to it.

Now how what peer reviewed testing has creationism passed?

The Piltdown man is ONE incident. That doesn't make the whole thing a lie, it only makes the Piltdown man a lie.

These tactics are juvenile. I think I've stumbled into a nest of grammar school kids who are skipping class.

Thanks for the glowing endorsement of TOE and science in general. It is so refreshing to see a theist finally understand that science is beautiful because when it realizes an error has been made,other scientists will expose it,and it will be thrown out,as opposed to religion,which blindly accepts something as absolute truth,even when something in their book is totally debunked. They simply ignore any new evidence. You are on the right path with your understanding that science corrects itself when a mistake has been made. Enjoy the beauty of seeking the truth,rather than being satisfied with answers proven false

You really have a fundamental misunderstanding of how science works. You have illustrated perfectly how the system of science weeds out the hoaxes, trims the fat and evolves so that the existing theory incorporates all evidence. There is no faith in science. There is no dogma in science. There are no sacred cows in science.

God used evolution.

Piltdown man was only one example that scientists found to show evolution. Once it was found to be a mix-up, this evidence was discarded. You are ignorant to think that this one example has any affect on the validity of the theory.
