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?
They were perpetrated by the same scientific community that fell for them, sometimes for years before the glorious, all knowing scientific community demonstrated that they were frauds, which creationists knew they would be all along.
The only ones who thought they were real was the scientific community that got duped.
If the guy who's been caught printing fake one hundreds hands me a $100 bill, I'm going to be suspicious.

Of course they discredit religion and frauds deliberately perpetrated by the scientific community to put the ToE beyond dispute discredit science, and it isn't just in the area of evolution. The antics of the APW crowd has similarly discredited science.
Face it, science and peer review have taken a real beating on more than one front these days. Scientists are being knocked off their pedestal and their egos are having a hard time dealing with it.
Just for the record, you don't have anything to add that's actually a comment on the topic of the thread, do you? I mean, really. Your first post in the thread is post 95 which doesn't address the topic of the thread at all, but is merely a slam at creationists for not being gullible enough to believe everything that comes down the pike in the way of fossil finds.
