I never said it did. I only pointed out that there are a number of supporters of the theory of evolution who do not like their theory's shortcomings to be questioned to the point where they are willing to manufacture data, physical evidence, and the like just to cover any possible questioning of their pet theory.

Much better to let the evidence speak for itself and recruit others to the task of filling in the holes than to be so dogmatic as to lie about it.

That's my beef.

Doubtless you have more than 5 examples of this over the last 150 years... For example there is Piltdown Man, the Haeckel embryo diagrams, Piltdown Man, Piltdown Man, Haeckel, Archeoraptor, Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man, Piltdown Man, and don't forget Piltdown Man. Any church and most scientific fields would give anything for the documented ability of evolutionary science to police itself and its almost total lack of significant hoaxes/frauds/errors.
