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.

Over the hundreds of years and many thousands of fossil finds, there have only been a few hoaxes, and the deception was discovered by scientific methodology.

And when creationists point out the hoaxes they are attempting what you just did.

“damage its credibility.” “Only a naive fool would believe.” etc.

Do you think religious charlatans and fakers (of which there have been many thousands) discredit religion to an equal degree that a couple hoax fossils do?
