This is a high-definition version of my video which debunks all the creationist bogosity about the Piltdown Man hoax, and tells the REAL story behind it.

Wow, working out some issues with the British on this video huh Shane.

[shanedk]

I'm a bit of an Anglophile; I just love ribbing them, though.

[saqib09]

How hard is it to admit that there are people who want to prove evolution and they will do anything to do that?

[shanedk]

Evolution IS proven. It's better supported than even gravity.

[MirabiliaMania]

And Santa Claus remember Shane you also believe in Santa Clause. You have about as much poof.

[shanedk]

None of my contracts have ever had a Santa clause.

[tazgrento]

Holy crap, I have that exact same phone!

@ 2:48

Shane, you know the English don't recognize the word "French"; they only recognize "Frog".

perhaps that's why the fella is unable to respond; trying to hide his confusion?

:P

[AHPMB]

I'm sure he was, I was just taking the piss out of him a bit.

[Surhotchaperchlorome]

As much British television you seem to like, I kind of figured.

:P

[Surhotchaperchlorome]

@AHPMB: I just thought he was messing around for comedic effect.

[prschuster]

The jaw & teeth were from an orangutan - not a chimpanzee. Otherwise I found your video entertaining and informative. Even Stephen Hawking learned a thing or two from it. ;o)

Also, the act of being intellectually honest and saying either "i dont know" or "we dont have a comprehensive understanding" of where something came from is NOT the same as saying it came from nothing. If I found an unknown object on the side of the road and asked you where it came from and you said "Im not sure" I wouldnt then say "So what, youre saying it CAME FROM NOTHING??" You wouldnt either, so why make an exception in this case?

[intelligentfalling]

"Something from nothing" is known as "creationism"

Scientists, not being creationists, do not adhere to this idea.

Evolution on the other hand is merely how life forms diversify. the first life arose most likely by abiogenesis from organic compounds. This however has nothing really to do with evolution. Evolution only acts on life. Its a different branch of study.

[DahStranger]

What about the creation of the creation, or the creation of the creation of the cre.........I think you get the point.

[DahStranger]

Better supposed than gravity?That seems a bit exaggerated, but I do not know much about evolution so I cannot talk. It is funny how people think they got it beat, when they do not even know what the theory states.

[shoepebble]

evolution is something from nothing? Or is it something from something? If it is something from something, how did the first something come about?....(the response from an evolutionist will either consist of cuss words or insults). When in reality, this thought must have crossed their mind before they decided to believe the evolution theory.

[shoepebble]

what about the creation of evolution? any proof yet?

[shoepebble]

why don't you go evolve!

[Leehofooks]

Hey... that sounds like a Speak 'n' Spell.

[saqib09]

I should have said this more clearly. I wasn't questioning Evolution. You could have said 'this has happened and evidently some dishonest blokes thought they would prove evolution by making up stuff. If from this anyone doubts evolution I can understand that. But hey, Its proven now so that doesn't matter'. Anyway, never mind. cheers

[klixxz]

Kinda cheezy, but informative.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Ah. Thanks. Is this some southern expression? I've lived with two non-releasable squirrels, and had never heard this one.

[bwzes03]

Nice video ... I'd love to get a phone(y) call from Stephen Hawking. Not sure why he'd even want to contact me though.....

Damn, I guess I am just "too white and nerdy"....
