I really doubt that. Your list is straight from the creationists websites and is posted repeatedly here by many others!
"Piltdown Man (England, 1912)This skull was from an ape and jaw of a human. In the 1920s, they were found to have been purposefully scraped with a wire brush to be made to look old."
PM was never considered as a true specimen by the scientific community. The scientific community was always skeptical and kept testing it for authenticity. When suitable techniques became available, the scientific community tested it and proved it a fake.
I’ll gladly peruse.
Thank you for the direction and God Bless.
Perhaps you should do some research.
Perhaps it is best to agree to disagree since neither of us are changing each other’s minds and all you are doing is attacking me personally.
Great discussion!
Thanks!
A mistake was made, it was not widely thought to be a true specimen and the record was corrected by the scientific community a few years later.
Not. Do you just make this stuff up?
mitochondrial DNA studies indicates that Neanderthals were not a subspecies of Homo sapiens.
I am not attacking you. I am attacking your posts.
- Ecclesiastes 3:18-21
I believe in micro evolution like combining a poodle with a labrador to get a labradoodle. They stay in the same species. A labradoodle is still a dog just like its parents were. Macro evolution like what Darwin claimed, on the other hand, goes to an extreme.
While biologists do draw a distinction between micro-evolution and macro-evolution it really is a distinction without much difference. Or to put it another way, the distinction is a rather artificial one imposed by biologists. The simple answer is that the process at work in macro-evolution is precisely the same one at work in micro-evolution. So to say I believe micro-evolution, but not macro-evolution may sound erudite to the uneducated, but to those who are familiar with the topic you sound like a boob. It is like saying I believe in molecules, but not in atoms, electrons, protons and neutrons. ~ Steve Verdon

Why have no missing links been found?
Again, you really should read the creationist talking points.
From Creation Ministries International web site under Arguments Creationist should not use:
“There are no transitional forms.”

And besides, given the new creation cosmologies, there’s no need for light to be created en route.

Thanks, GGG!
It’s nice to get constructive criticism instead of personal attacks.
In one night, I have been called stupid, liar, and even a boob.
I’ll check it out!
Why do Evos have such a huge fascination with blacks from Africa? And why do they almost never come out and just say what they believe about a given topic, preferring instead to hide behind inane quiz questions without a point, purpose, or relevance to the thread?
... Unless time itself is subject to the same rate of decay as everything else.
Par for the course, my FRiend. I have been called much, much worse...and so will you. The mere mention of God’s special creation drives the Temple of Darwin fanatics absolutely crazy, and will do everything they can to make these threads as painful as possible. I too was taken aback by how nasty they are to creationists, but now I take it as encouragement.
All the best—GGG
Oh come on GGG. You have to admit that the creationists give every bit as good as they get in the insult department. (I'd actually say they give more--I think "tool of Satan" surpasses anything any evo has said--but I'll just go with "as good as" right now.)
My point was that if dinosaurs had been known in biblical times, then the large preditors would have been pointed out as a scourge to mankind.
Actually many millions of Europeans died or suffered with syphilis which was brought back by the Spaniards.
Lucy was more than 3 million years old. Neanderthal was less than 1 million years old. In between, among others, was Homo Erectus and Home Habilis.
