Also, the two examples you cite weren't committed by scientists but exposed by them. What's even more interesting is the fact that the methods they used to examine these "fossils" aren't even accepted by most creationists.
So as far as those creationists are concerned we should still not be able to tell whether those fossils are fake or genuine.
Oh come on, just because some scientists can be dishonest you propose we trash all of science?
Then why do people throw out all religion just because some preachers are dishonest? Hypocrisy on the part of some people doesn't mean the message is less true. It just means that some people are jerks. Yet people will totally turn their backs on God and religion based on the actions of people instead of finding out for themselves what they should or want to believe. The point I'm making is that the same accusations made at the creationists can be made at evolution and scientists, yet they won't acknowledge it. The attitude is," Well, we know we're telling you the truth." I'm to take that all just on their say so? That requires trust in the scientists that they are telling the truth. No, we don't trash science because some scientists are dishonest, but it takes more than "Because I said so" to convince me.
