Piltdown Man agrees with you.

Indeed, evidently you've noticed that the Piltdown Man fraud was spotted and exposed by mainstream evolutionary biologists. Creationists never had a clue that it was a fake, because they have no framework of expectation that allows them to distinguish true fossils from fakes. Piltdown was eventually exposed because it didn't fit the expectations of hominid evolution, and had been increasingly seen as a bizarre anomoly. If by any chance you are thinking to tar the whole of science with a "Piltdown" brush then presumably you'll also reject the whole of Christianity because of the actions of a few corrupt lying tele-evangelists. Evolutionary biology has maybe 3 frauds/hoaxes of any significance in the last 150 years associated with it. Any world religion can only look upon that virtually exemplary record with envy.
