I can't make any sense of this whole paragraph.
From fraud - The Great Piltdown Hoax - to a host of egregious practices and coverups
Such as? Piltdown doesn't qualify. It appears nearly certain (although the actual hoaxer is unknown to this day) that none of the scientists that published on or promoted Piltdown were involved in the hoax. They were victims of the hoax. Therefore there was no fraud involved. Furthermore there is no evidence that there was a "cover-up" at any time. That is no one (except of course the orginal hoaxer himself) knew of any problem with the fossils that they tried to conceal. When problems were discovered (by evolutionary anthropologists, btw) they were immediately and widely publicized.
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
G'night all.
"A good summation of your post. :)"
Thanks. I try.
Good enough time as any... Night all! :)
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
Here it is:
What hole have you been hiding under?
All the founders of modern science have their origins in a geographical location dominated by a Judeo-Christian world view.
Science was not born in any nonchristian culture. Ever heard of a muslim Newton?
Christianity places its source on the written text...conducive to literacy.
An "only and rational God" not a bunch of pagan gods. A created universe...and one that will need. Result? "A contingent universe arouses curiosity. A necessary universe does not."
Much more evidence. Surprised you haven't heard...
If it's about fleecing the flock, why do you suppose he publically tells people to order his stuff, copy it and send it back for a refund. His stuff is not copywritten for that very purpose. Care to indulge in another falsehood?
Then read the post to which I am responding...as for Piltdown...lots of hoaxes so little time.
If it's so ignorant, why is it proven that such can and does happen in the matter of Mt. St. Helens and the Spirit lake region. Oh, forgot science was about examining natural processes evidently..
"Wow, you're *really* unclear on this whole biology thing, aren't you? No, life did not begin from "nothing", it began from existing matter, via the existing laws of reality."
Too funny not to pursue ... .
And just where did this "existing matter" come from? How did it exist? BTW, just what are your "existing laws of reality"?
Can't wait to see this tripe.
If it's pure ignorance, your scientists shouldn't have said it to begin with. Hovind cites a number of texts and scientists in print who have said this. It points the finger back at science, not at Hovind.
Aha! Can't get him on facts so ya character assassinate. Wondered how long that would take. ROFL.
Congratulations, you're a liar. Not only are there not "lots" of hoaxes, but there are so few actual hoaxes in the 150-year history of evolutionary biology that I can count them on the fingers of one hand, without using all the fingers.
Please explain how you can justify to yourself bearing false witness like that.
Look, if you can't identify any actual flaws in evolutionary biology, or provide a theory that better matches all the available evidence -- and clearly you can't -- then you're only making yourself sound somewhat unhinged when you go off on these rants and conspiracy theories.
Discuss the evidence, or switch to decaf.

And just where did this "existing matter" come from? How did it exist? More importantly WHO created this "existing matter"? BTW, just what are your "existing laws of reality"?
Can't wait to see this tripe.
I'm surprised you are still awake. It's 9:49 here and I'm about to head off. I suspect you live farther East than I do so it would be later. Go to bed, get some rest and take things up tomorrow.
I did. Prove it happened differently - I'll wait.
I was going to hold out for 800, but it's getting too late. G'night all.
G'night all.
Bourbon is required as the proper anesthetic for these threads. Cheap bourbon. Jim Beam and Diet Coke is my own preference.
This is a placemarking post, so that I might be able to return to this spot tomorrow, and it requires no response.
I shall leave a joke behind, to lighten the mood:
I was walking across a bridge one day, and i saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "stop! don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are you christian or buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said, "Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you original baptist church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?" He said, "Reformed baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.
