But we can see how the CR/Iders evolve.
They used to bring up Piltdown Man and other Hoaxes as "proof" against TToE. When we turned the argument around and demonstrated how science polices its own (as opposed to religion and other philosophy), they eventually stopped using that so-called "argument." This is, of course, the self-preservation instinct in action.
Those who post hoax-based assertions either leave or cease to do so. Postinian Darwinism in action.
I haven't seen a "Piltdown Man" post in months. So I hope people will forgive my glee. It was like fresh blood to a vampire.
There are always new converts who have not had some of the facts explained to them. They visit the creationist websites and think they are ready to slay the dragon of Darwinism.
They don't realize that, when it comes to the theory of evolution, the creationist websites are loaded with distortions, omissions, and outright lies.
Piltdown is a good example. The creationist websites will portray this as a fatal blow to the theory of evolution, instead of a deliberate hoax which fooled a few British scientists for a couple of decades--the hoaxer fed them what they wanted to find! That's always a winner.
Much like what the creationist websites feed the believers.

LOL -- you have to admit they are cute when they are young.
