It took over 40 years for Piltdown man to be proved a fraud. Someone wanted to prove evolution so bad that they were willing to create a fraud to do it. I believe with utmost confidence that it was NOT a creationist.
So here we have a scientist creating a fraud that it took 40 years for *science* to disprove. The only reasonable conclusion is that scientists wanted it to be true so badly that they were not willing to examine it more closely before.
Plus, this was not the only fraud that scientists were duped by. You'd think that the scientific community would have learned its lesson getting burned by Piltdown man, but nooooo, they fell for it again much more recently , no doubt, because they wanted to *prove* the ToE beyond the shadow of a doubt. Archeoraptor was much more recent and took years also.
This demonstrates the validity and beauty of science? I think you need to find a better example.

No, it is more likely that Woodward wanted to advance his career.

“Science” in the first half of the 20th Century was still in its infancy. Your “reasonable conclusion” is based more on prejudice than on fact.
Once again, When was the last time a religionist was encouraged or even allowed to question the Biblical account of creation?
