So the evolutionists are then justified because they *exposed* these hoaxes? Then they can sweep under the rug the fact that they prepetrated the hoaxes and go on to tell people what paragons of virtue and integrity they are. After all, since evolutionists have no reason to lie...wait a minute, hoaxes ARE a lie...hmmm

"So the evolutionists are then justified because they *exposed* these hoaxes?"

The only hoax I am aware of is Piltdown Man (Haeckel's drawings are more exaggerations, though you can add that if yo want; they were not nearly as important as anti-evos claim they were). It's not even certain who perpetrated it. The rest of the so-called *hoaxes* that get thrown around by anti-evos are either mistakes that were quickly fixed (Nebraska Man) or were never problematic to begin with (Peking Man, the peppered moth studies).
