If you have a single piece of evidence that actually supports Darwin, I'd love to see it.

Note the number of this specimen, KNM-WT 15000. This stands for Kenya National Museum, West Turkana area, specimen #15,000. There are a lot of fossil producing areas in Kenya. There are a lot of countries in Africa which produce fossils. There are a lot of countries on other continents chich produce fossils. That means there are hundreds of thousands of fossils kicking around.

I can post more if you want, but I don't want to use up all the bandwidth.

While it is true that evolutionists were ecstatic when Turkana Boy showed up to replace the Piltdown fraud had finally been exposed after its 40 year run as proof positive of Darwin's theories. (it's really amazing how many frauds have been perpetrated trying to "prove" this theory to non-believers) -- the entire basis for this "proof" thesis is that homo erectus and homo sapiens are two separate species. There is a strong following among scientists that the differences between homo erectus and homo sapiens are superficial at best and fit comfortably within the differences among modern humans.

However one thinks about these differences of opinion -- Turkana Boy is a long, long way from proving that man evolved from ape let alone from a single cell organism as Darwin claimed.
