The problem? You're telling the kids we haven't learned anything since ancient times about what fossils are and what you can tell from them. You just don't like what we know so you reject it. Letting you teach would be a crime against education.

No. Paleontology is absolute fakery, not science. Lucy's face is plaster, the oldest 'mammal' is a lower jaw, the oldest primate is a pair of ankle bones and a lower jaw found decades earlier a thousand miles away, the ancestor of the platypus is a pair of teeth found half a world away in South America. What makes it even more ridiculous is that the platypus has no teeth! So yes, paleontology is an absolute fake and its 'discoveries' should be banned from all schools. Leave them as fairy tales for atheists to enjoy at their leisure, but do not teach such garbage in school.

That’s quite a charge “Palaeontology is absolute fakery”. So there is no useful information to be gained from the study of fossils? That life was much different in the past is an indisputable part of biological knowledge, not some atheist plot.

I’ve seen you trumpet the Cambrian explosion as being devastating to the theory of evolution. Creationists aren’t slow to use the so-called Paluxy human-dinosaur tracks when claiming that dinosaurs and humans lived together, therefore the earth is young a la literal Genesis. I even saw an Ozzie guy called John Mackay on TV last week, explaining how some dinosaur coprolites (fossil crap) were evidence for Noah’s flood. Apparently, these coprolites (in their former life) were in the middle of being burrowed through and broken down by dung beetles, when the beetles stopped working. Loads of them were found in a similar state of mid-deconstruction. According to Mackay, something had happened to stop these beetles. The only sensible conclusion? Noah’s flood!

BTW, young platypus have teeth.
