The analogy I like to use when creationists try to point out a few hoax finds as an attempt to discredit all fossil finds is that by that logic, if you ever find a hundred dollar bill that is counterfeit; you may as well throw out ALL your hundred dollar bills.

Nobody is trying to discredit all fossil finds. And hoaxes are not *finds*, they’re plants.

And your analogy doesn’t work. One one hundred dollar bill? No. But when there’s many, you start suspecting and checking them all. That’s reasonable.

The evo side has perpetrated and believed enough hoaxes to seriously damage its credibility. Only a naive fool would believe everything at face value at this point. Especially if it seems too good to be true.

A better analogy would be if you ever find a hundred dollar bill that is counterfeit, take it to the evolutionist currency exchange and they’ll say its good to go.
