Thanks for that admission. Let's see if your philosphical compatriot, Ichneumon, can find it within themselves to admit the same now too.
My point is made.
I was not part of what ever other discussion you must have with some other poster, so I don't know what else it is you are rambling on about to me.
An evolutionist's hoax is an evolutionist's hoax. Cardiff giant, Piltdown man, and Haekel. They're all yours. Case closed.
Guilt by association, then? Certainly, there are unscrupulous believers of evolution who have attempted to advance their careers through hoaxes. What of it? All three of these examples were eventually debunked by other scientists. There are also a good number of creationist charlatans who make their careers out of pandering to the beliefs of their fellow creationists.
If you choose to go into the evolutionist profession, here is some advice. Never question anything that seems to positively assert evolution. Speak forcefully and positively as if you have some real data. If all else fails, don't be afraid to make something up. After all, who really can check on you. Say something like, "I have a friend who is doing research in micro-biology at the University, and he has found proof of evolution at a microscopic level." It would take someone a lot of work and many questions to get you to admit that you don't know what you're talking about.
Some might think that these tactics are unethical, but, given that you don't believe in God, and you don't believe in the Bible, by what standard would it be wrong to lie? Who is really to say what is or isn't ethical. If you throw God and the Bible out, there is no standard by which it would be wrong to lie, so you are free from the constraints of God and the Bible and absolutely free to lie your little heart out. And, even if you decided to make up an arbitrary rule against lying, the definion of, "lie," is purely a fabrication of your own mind. You are not constrained by the Bible or the Spirit of God.
Just take the example of a recent U.S. President who redefined the word, "is," as well as some other words. It's doubtful that his Vice President is capable of telling the truth, yet look at how hard all the news commentators and newspapers have worked to move the former Vice President of the U.S. into the presidency, even though they were unsuccessful. Even now, the news media continues to try to put a positive spin on all the criminal activity, lies, and indecent behavior of that administration. As an evolutionist, you can depend on the support of this same power of the media.
