Dog gone, remember “peltdown man”

Remember “Nebraska man”?

Remember “manmade global warming”? Oh wait, we’re still debunking that one.

Science soils itself when it steps out of its boundaries.

Lovers of science should jealously guard it from error.

Yours truly,

Science seems to be able to correct mistakes or detect fraud.

In fact, it’s quite good at that. None of those hoaxes were debunked by a pastor, were they?

Dog gone, remember “peltdown man”

Someone who was educated and clever hoaxed his British colleagues. Many scientists figured out pretty quickly that Piltdown didn't fit and ignored it. Science finally used a new technique in the 1950s to disprove it for good.

Do you have some other point to make?

Remember “Nebraska man”?

A pig tooth that fooled one guy and an artist?

What about it? Do you have some point to make about that one too?

Or are you just trying to smear several different professions all at once just because they deal with evolutionary subjects? I'm surprised you didn't call them Nazis, as that seems to be in vogue lately.

But if you want to play guessing games, how about the millions of fossils that are just as they are claimed to be? And that support the theory of evolution? How about all of those? (Or don't the creationist websites deal with them?)
