The velociraptors were to large. Utah Raptor would have been the better candidate. .but velociraptor sounds cooler and making them larger and more intimidating was better for the movie. And scaly monsters look scarier than big feathered chickens. I'm pretty sure that was their thinking anyway. ....maybe.
So, are you claiming *all* the evidence for evolution of humans is fraudulent? if so, please elaborate instead of presenting a case that was not broadly accepted and where the fraud was discovered *by the scientists*.

So you're aren't interested in learning. I figured as much.
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I don't know, did you ever read about the Terror bird?The velociraptors were to large. Utah Raptor would have been the better candidate. .but velociraptor sounds cooler and making them larger and more intimidating was better for the movie.

What I always find amazing is that anti-evolutionists do not realize that by using the "Piltdown man was a hoax therefore evolution is wrong" argument is that by that twisted logic Christianity or whatever religion the person has that made the claim has been refuted. There are countless examples of fake miracles for Christianity, whether the laying of hand cures done in stadiums or even such major ones as the Shroud of Turin. Fakes do not refute an idea, even if they are done to support an idea.

That it is necessary to go back a hundred years to
find something is so sad, you'd think they'd be
embarrassed to reveal the paucity of their case.
In the event neither perp nor motive ever came
to light. Practical joke that went wrong?
Who knows?
Many years earlier, a professor in Germany
(?) was collecting fosdil shells from a quarry.
Much speculation about them!
But another prof started setting out
limestone carvings, and when those
were put in the collection, he made more
and more outlandish things.
In the end, they both got fired.

Isn't the scientific method wonderful! It's a self-correcting method that changes it's conclusions based on new evidence and the review of old evidence. It's been BY FAR the best method humans have discovered for determining the reality of the physical universe.
Sadly, if Piltdown Man had been part of some theist's ancient religious texts, then they would undoubtedly be making up all sorts of delusional excuses for why it's actually true.

Ah yes! Because self-induced ignorance is apparently bliss for some people. How sad.

My wife is dragging me along to that today... I'm not a happy camper
Masked Lapwings and Australian Magpies are worse, they come in silently from behind and scalp you.

It has appeal. Takes no effort, and all ya gotta
do is assume the air of lofty wise superiority, and
find a avater that looks so deep, so noble.
And then launch your b.s.
So narcissistic! Ya always have someone to admire
you and someone to soak up all that awed admiration!
In a debate forum, you post vague (wise) generalities,
mostly just reflective of attitude.
Slip up and make a false statement that can be shown
false? No prob! Ignore, dash off thro' the treetops to a
new thread!
Anyone like that around here?
Pfft everyone knows the best way to fend of Magpies is an ice cream bucket over one's head. This is how we discern Aussie raised kids from the rest. And actually being able to see a predator.......oh I mean an Aussie wildlife specimen is a huge advantage. I mean I rather be able to get me a head start than accidentally **** off some spider I didn't see in time. Some of those ******** actually chase ya!
Yup
It's OK if you see it first but they usually come from behind with no warning. When I was a kid we would go to school with icecream containers on our heads that had eyes drawn on the back of them. It was a little undignified.
Possibly but they're only in the far north east of the country and they're endangered. Magpies and Lapwings are Australia wide and have benefited from land clearing so there's millions of them.

I love the old creationist standards - its almost like a soccer fans' chant - "
Piltdown man, Piltdown man, Piltdown man......Piltdown man, Piltdown man, Piltdown maa-an..." - to the tune of stars and stripes forever...
