And Nebraska Man was the centerpiece of their hopes

Huh? It was? Even though a scientific paper was never published on it? Even though every scientist save one doubted the claims? Even though it never appeared in a single textbook (except creationist ones) ever? (despite your wild claims.) Even though it was scientists who dispelled the tooth as a human ancestor? Where do you get this stuff?

Nebraska Man was even used in the Scopes trial by the evo-cultists as an example of the missing link.

More lies. Hesperopithecus (the tooth) was not mentioned by anyone during the course of the Scopes trial, although other major discoveries of fossil hominids were discussed from the stand and in written testimony. Look it up... For once.

Lying is a sin. But I won't smile at your future residence in hell for it.

"Hesperopithecus (the tooth) was not mentioned by anyone during the course of the Scopes trial"

A brief bit of research is inconclusive whether Nebraska man was brought up. Some references say yes, some say no.

Certainly though Piltdown Man (ANOTHER FRAUD), was, by many references.

From "Evolution Encyclopedia Vol. 3", Chapter 30, "THE SCOPES TRIAL" (found through Google):

"Certain items of "scientific evidence of evolution" were mentioned at the trial, whether or not formally presented. This included Piltdown Man (announced to the world in December 1912, and repudiated in the 1950s when the British Museum's Kenneth Oakley devised a new method for determining whether ancient bones were of the same age), but especially Nebraska Man was proclaimed. The great Nebraska Man, discovered only three years before in Bryan's home state, was exalted at the trial as the outstanding evidence that man had evolved from an apelike creature."

You don't provide your own reference.
