Let's see if we can figure this out about the old Piltdown Man

YoursTrue

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
So now, for many years it was broadly accepted that fossilized bones put together were the remains of an early human. Although not everyone accepted it, yet it was widely accepted as indicative of an early human. The hoax was finally verified in 1953. Seems that in 1912, a man named Charles Dawson claimed that he had discovered the "missing link" between ape and man. Finally found out to be a fraud even though accepted by many for decades.

You missed the boat, this came up last week.

But let me guess the motive of this thread, a Christian extremist who doesn't know science, but rejects it, wants to discuss an old story as if this will somehow taint the reputation and reliability of science. This of course aims to avoid talking about how these Christian extremists don't know science and have adopted an obsolete and false religious alternative to evolution, which gets exposed in these debates.

Science isnt perfect.
By the way, didn't science figure that out?

Actually all the findings in support of evolution have turned out to be negative over the years. They get a lot of press in the beginning, and when they have to revert their findings, its usually a small blip in the back of the paper. There was a recent thread I saw on this website that said there is proof of evolution everywhere, when there is really no real proof. In fact the more scientists discover, the more they realize how wrong their theories, especially Darwinian evolution, are. None of it holds up under scientific scrutiny.

A simple example is the fine-tuning of our universe. There are such impossible odds of it having coming to arrive as it has, all 4 fundamental laws of the universe tuned to just the right degree, that they come up with the theory of multiverse. An infinite amount of universes until the one we exist in arrives. This is metaphysical hocus pocus and is real science. Superstitious mumbo jumbo with no foundation in the real world.

Imagine the greats of science such as Stephen Hawking resort to this hocus pocus in statements such as: "Because there is a law like gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing."

Does that make any sense? Gravity is something. It is not nothing. So the fact that gravity exists is not proof that the universe came from nothing. These intellectuals of the world that champion materialism that the people look up to resort to magical blind faith statements that have no basis in reality to uphold the tenants of their beliefs.

Here is another good one. Let's watch Richard Dawkins wave his magical wand around and make it so that something comes from nothing, because nothing is really something (these are the the ones people look up to for their beliefs in evolution):

As opposed to reliable old religion...
My preacher said it's the word of God, so it has to be true!

It has a track record of always being accurate, and coming true. 100% of the time. God's word said the earth was round (a sphere) and hung on nothing thousands of years before science discovered it to be true.

And the Earth is only 7-10,000 years old.
And it was created in less than a week.
Fascinating physics there.
Oh, & the need to burn witches, conquer
the heathen to steal their land, assassinate
abortion clinic staff, spend tithing on private
jets & mansions. Yes...that is the inerrant
Truth.

So I take it you read a lot of creationist material that is nothing but disinformation about science, because your statements here are wrong.

Do you think other members are so ignorant of science that they will believe your false claims above? Would you be surprised to learn you are dead wrong in what you say here?

Actually the Bible says "the circle of the earth" not a sphere. So I guess God didn't know what it created. That's bad luck.

And looking at the moon and sun it wouldn't be a huge stretch to assume the earth was round too. Plus the Greeks had a good idea the planet was a ball already. So, no need for magic and a God that doesn't even know the shape of earth anyway.

Such cut n paste creosite stuff really is unworthy of any response.
