Within the context of science, it's proven that the jawbone was from an orangutan and that the skull was from a human and that they were treated to appear old.

That's pretty close to my point. The only relevant arguments come from science.

That depends on what your definition of "relevant" is. I find religious teaching about the origin of man and life more relevant than evolutionary teaching.

In the case of the Piltdown fraud, if I would have lived at the time of it's discovery I may have said, "Hmmm...interesting. They found a skull and a jaw in different areas. The skull, they say, is human, the jaw is apelike." I would have accepted the evidence for what it was. I may have even accepted the evolutionist claim that they were from the same creature.

But what I would not have accepted would have been the explanation of evolutionists. THAT explanation is the real hoax.
