The Imaginary Piltdown Man

by Randy J. Guliuzza, P.E., M.D. *

Evidence for Creation

Focused and vividly imagining his next move, the young boy is filled with determination as his mind pictures the football soaring. He runs, positions his legs, and says aloud, “This time I’m gonna kick that ball!” On his back a moment later, a dazed and embarrassed Charlie Brown stares up at Lucy gleefully holding the football and wonders why he fell for her ploy yet again. His oft-repeated blunder over the almost 50 years Charles Schulz produced the Peanuts cartoon evidently connected with people who empathized with Brown as either gullible, eternally optimistic, or both.

A mysterious mental interplay exists between imagination, visualization, experience, facts, and beliefs that our mind interprets and reconciles. Likely, these constructs help shape and are reciprocally shaped by our worldviews and our wills.

Slander and misrepresentation are entirely typical of creationist apologetics.

It was evolutionary scientists themselves who ultimately uncovered and exposed the Piltdown fraud.

[BenLurkin]

Ah.

You are just another anti-science, Piltdown Denier.

[wbarmy]

It was evolutionary scientists themselves who ultimately uncovered and exposed the Piltdown fraud.

Yes it was, men who were sick and tired of the other guys getting accolades and honors that they weren't. The two leading families of human evolution research; the Leakeys and the Johansans, are always "proving" that the other researchers are wrong, in both cladistics and dating.

Still, it is a pretty good story on how Charles Dawson was able to hoodwink the academic and scientific community for so many years before he went from hero to zero.

We can only hope that the same happens to the man-made global warmingclimate change scientists.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

About ‘Piltdown Man’, I’m sure evolutionist quietly agree with Dan Father’s comment about his Bush story, “Fake but accurate.”

[deweyfrank]

Hope it doesn’t take 40 years before the “Man Made Global Warming” agenda is exposed as a fraud.

[fishtank]

I wonder which fraud is worth more money: evolution or global warming -— it’s gotta be AGW, since evolution hasn’t been able to produce a global tax -— yet(?) - haha.

[Seruzawa]

I read some interesting stuff about Leakey and how he “dates” fossils that are found side by side in the exact same place. If they “look” older they are. Never mind that they are found right next to each other.

It’s one thing to extrapolate. To pretend you then know the truth based on that is arrogance.

Evolutionary Biologists probably make less than Garbageman

Actually it's the Creationist Intelligent Design hucksters like the Global Warming Climate Change Hucksters that make millions off the ignorant.

It's not coincidence that Creationism was rebranded as ''Intelligent Design'' just like Global Warming was rebranded as ''Climate Change''. Scams tend to follow the same pattern.

[fishtank]

Ummmm ——

careful who you talk to.

I’m a creationist, just fyi.

Also, it looks like you haven’t hung around many evolutionary biologists if you think they “make less than garbagemen”.

In fact, they make more than philosophers, or welders, for that matter..... :-)

[Verginius Rufus]

Charles Dawson?

Any relation to Richard Dawson?

[Vigilanteman]

Richard Dawson, the comedian and actor? Making @$$es out of organic evolutionists was a closely related field, eh?

[Hulka]

What. . .and abandon a great FR tradition of commenting without knowing anything about the subject?

Never.
