From my post #258:
What Are Creationists Afraid Of?

That the Evolutionists will continue to sell discredited theories (the primordial soup) and outright frauds (the peppered-moth photos, Haekel's long-ago debunked drawings, Piltdown Man, etc.) to our children in schools paid for with our tax dollars rather than simply teach them the truth: That evolution has no viable theory of abiogenesis and that many of the supposed proofs for evolution that they've been taught all their lives don't actually exist.

So now, you tell me: What are evolutionists so afraid of that they continue to tell outright lies to children in biology class?

And no, I didn't pull those out of the air. Those are actually in the high school biology text book being used in 2006 here in the metro Atlanta area.

Personally, I think my side is missing the boat; they just need to sue the textbook industry for promoting provable lies and known hoaxes.

Couple problems there.

Piltdown Man is not being taught in classrooms. Neither is Haekel. The peppered-moth photos were an experiment in predation, and only creationists claim that it was somehow a faked experiement. It also is not being taught in schools.

My question was: What is being taught in the classrooms that is not honest? And in which classrooms?

I'd like some specifics to back up your charge of dishonesty, please.

Please cite the high school biology textbook that includes Piltdown Man and Haeckel's fraud. Also explain what is fraudulent about the peppered moth photos.
