I think, I explained where the hoax lies very clearly. Fossil record is not proof of evolution in the same way in which physical or chemical phenomena are proved. May be there is a better proof, but it is not taught, and the result is that science education suffers as a whole.

A hoax implies deliberate deceit. You have not explained where this deliberate deceit occurs.

The fossil record is not "proof" of anything apart from the existence of fossils. It is, however, evidence for common descent, given the arrangement of the fossils in the fossil record. As I have said, nothing in science is ever "proven", and as such there is never anything in a scientific explanation that constitutes "proof", and no scientific explanation for any observed phenomenon can be "proved".
May be there is a better proof, but it is not taught, and the result is that science education suffers as a whole.
You have not only demonstrated a lack of understanding of the means by which science operates, but you have also failed to demonstrate that evolution is taught as you claim. You have admitted that your claims were based solely upon uninformed speculation. I do not understand why I should consider you a credible source on this matter.
