Evolutions: Fakes, Mistakes, Frauds and Phonies
O
The history of the theory of evolution since Charles Darwin wrote in 1859, has been filled with many fakes, mistakes, frauds and phonies. In attempts to justify the theory scientists have taken scanty evidence and given it great significance and in some cases faked or fraudulently presented evidence that was later found out and exposed. As scientific knowledge has increased and evolution has become less and less plausible the frenzy has exploded. In just the last several months we have seen one on the most favored examples of evolution (the peppered moth), cited in almost all high school texts, exposed as a fraud. In November National Geographic published a full color, extensive article about a fossil from China that "almost proved" dinosaurs turned into birds, only to find it was a victim of another fraud. Frauds, fakes, etc. are not new to evolution. For example Nebraska Man and Piltdown Man.
Then there is scanty evidence like Swanscombe Man.
Recent research in Peppered Moths has indicated that the original experiments were both flawed and fraudulent. Check out this web site for the actual publication.

The moths do not land on trees during the daytime. The actual pictures were faked by gluing dead moths on trees. So it goes, poor science and wishful thinking to justify evolution.
The most recent case of National Geographic being deceived is still unfolding, but we know now that the fossils that were declared to show dinosaurs turned into birds were intentionaly faked. Since evolution is now considered true we can expect the evolutionary scientists to continue to "find" evidence that can't hold up to good scientific scrutiny. It is really unfortunate that the standards they impose on the creation scientists of critical evaluation of evidence do not apply to themselves until others evaluate the work. Another example is the "Big Bang" theory of the origin of the Universe. Over 90% of the evidence is missing (cold dark matter) yet the theory continues because there is no other plausible explanation except "God created" and they will not allow that to enter their thinking. It's a great time to be a Creationist and see the Evolutionists scramble for evidence that does not exist.
