"Java Man" was actually a specimen of Homo Erectus. The initial find actually consisted of the skullcap, a femur and some teeth -- a bit more to build on than just a skullcap. Whereas the initial reports could be considered a bit premature it did pan out and later specimens of H. Erectus did confirm in was a form of primitive man. So, you might say Mssr. Dubois was right in his assessment.

What of Nebraska man, Orce man, Neanderthal, the newer bird bones / dinosaur bone combo frauds in China? Even the "brontosaurus" skeleton that many people identify with was a combination of at least two different animals. It's absurd, really, to call this stuff Science.

"Nebraska Man" was never identified as such in scientific literature and was the invention of a magazine illustrator. Orce Man consists of a fragment of bone and has never been positively identified as a hominid. A composite bird skeleton from China was sold to a credulous Westerner by a Chinese fossil collector. It was quickly determined to be parts from two different fossils (by scientists, not by creationists). "Brontosaurus" was simply a misidentification of an incomplete juvenile apatosaur.

Mistakes happen in science. Fortunately, science is self-correcting. None of these errors was discovered by laymen or creationists; all were uncovered by scientists.

Now, again, which scientist reconstructed an entire skeleton from a pig's tooth. You made the claim. Put up or admit you made that whole thing up. Hell, don't admit it. Everyone will know it to be the truth regardless of what you say.

Truth be told you could avoid making a complete ass of yourself if you would just do a couple of minutes of research on the internet.
