The “Nebraska Man” was one guy with one tooth who got carried away, and was quickly corrected by Science.

Now your talking about “Piltdown man” which was a deliberate fraud, promptly ignored and then discredited by Science.

You harp on these two notes because it is all you have to try to pluck out a symphony of “its all just fraud and one tooth”.

Laughable, seeings as how both were excellent examples of how fraud and wild extrapolation not based on evidence are CORRECTED by Science. Meanwhile Creationism embraces its frauds and charlatans and has no mechanism for correcting them.

Why the need for fraud?

And just where are the transitional forms for the modern apes? Do they have to find their own?

Need? There was never any “need” for fraud. If Piltdown man was NOT fraudulent it would be a problem for Evolution as nothing else suggests or suggested that human evolution took place in England. So no, there was never any “need” for fraud. Piltdown was promptly ignored by Science even before it was known to be a fraud because it didn't fit with everything else we were finding out.

Why do you feel the need to fraudulently represent the completeness of these fossil finds? Why do you feel the need to fraudulently represent the significance of “Piltdown” and “Nebraska”?

Oh, so then you can fraudulently represent ANY fossil find as “one tooth” or “fraud”.

Why do YOU feel the need for fraud?

Lystrosaurus is a Triassic dicynodont who had survived the Permian extinction. It has been found in Asia, Africa, South America, and even Antarctica. It is very common in the early Triassic and at one time may have represented half the life on earth.
Thanks FN!

Sorry, you’re the one “fraudulently representing” my posts as saying any fossil find as “one tooth” or “fraud”.

I simply asked if they did it AGAIN in this case. That’s it.

Must be an oversensitive bit on your part, knowing that evos NEED, yes NEED, fraud to support their case.

How was Piltdown or Nebraska man “needed” by Science?

It is you who thinks that Science needs fraud to support its case, and yet the two cases you source actually DETRACT from the evolutionary evidence of human descent out of Africa. Neither was “needed”, and either finding, if authentic, would go against all other evidence of human evolution out of Africa.

You however NEED to think that all evidence that goes against your presuppositions are fraudulent, and therefore invent wild eyed conspiracy theories about what Scientists are engaged in.
