What can I say? It's late and I have'nt thought of old Pilt for years! I somehow see this topic float up on the screen and can't resist responding.

I know it was faked but there are so many fakes, I can't keep them all straight. Perhaps some ambitious person, could post a list.

What other fakes are there? I can think of exactly one "fake", and it wasn't deliberately faked to fool science, but rather to make a buck off of tourists (and it's not clear that the "faker" had the expertise to even know he was faking anything). Please, share some of the "many fakes" with us.

Many fakes? I dont think so.

There was a recent "fake" bird fossil that made it to National Geographic. But it turns out that someone in China, probably just an untrained worker, combined two fossils they thought belonged together. It was found within days.

There have been some other honest misidentifications, later corrected.

One thing is certian. Creationists and IDers at the Discovery Institute *did not* find these problems. Other scientists found them, and corrected the problem. Which gives me confidence that I can trust the scientific community.

Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart... Hmmm. Reminds me.

Jimmy Swaggart telephoned Jim Bakker.

Swaggart: I have a theological question: Can a prostitute be saved?

Bakker: Yes.

Swaggart: Would you save me one for Saturday night?
