13th Foundational Falsehood of Creationism

Every "evolutionist hoax" ever alleged was either fabricated or misrepresented to such a degree that each contributes to a growing list of creationist frauds.

The "homo erectus" at 2:00 is actually a Neanderthal in the movie (Quest for Fire). The homo erectus are the much hairier simian-like beings who steal the Neanderthals' fire in the beginning of the movie. Just thought I'd use this little mistake to urge everyone reading this to watch this superb movie Quest for Fire. Though it's scientifically not totally accurate.

@Wotanraven Quest for Fire centered on a clan of Homo heidelbergensis, not neanderthals. The neanderthals were the red-headed tribe of cannibals who held Rae Dawn Chong captive. The 'much hairier simian-like things' were robust australopiths.

"Is this not a simple request?"

Yes, and it's been answered daily for most of the past century. The only reason you continue to demand evidence is because you're either too lazy to look for it, wouldn't recognize it for what it is because you're uneducated, or would deny its existence upon presentation. There are 290,000+ peer-reviewed publications supporting the theory of evolution on PubMed alone. You merely have no interest in learning.

@MalakaiJ

The only straw man is in your post. AronRa did not state that creationists "argue that the frauds prove Evolution to be a fraud." or anything like that. AronRa stated: "Darwin wrote that embryology contained compelling evidence of evolution. Creationists dismiss this on the assumption that Darwin's theory was inspired by Haeckel's fraudulent drawings, and consequently, evolution was a fraud."

Aron is referring to the cretins who do hold this view.

@MalakaiJ: "Evolution has ZERO evidence, otherwise I would have found it by now"

Can I come over and borrow a cup of ego?

But of course, MalakaiJ....ALL the world's scientists, geologists, paleontologists, and anthropologists are WRONG (all of them!), and you're right. All of the books and scientific papers demonstrating evolution can be ignored because YOU say so. :)

Yeah, sounds reasonable to me.

@MalakaiJ: "Evolution has ZERO evidence."

Oh please, have you ever even read a textbook? Ever?

Face it: Evolution is a fact, supported by an *overwhelming* body of evidence. To claim there is "zero" evidence for it is possibly one of dumbest things I've ever heard.

@TheZooCrew I knew what the plesiosaur reference was straight off as I saw it in books about some 'sea monster' carcass that was hauled by a trawler in 1977 and later, through samples and similar finds, found to be a basking shark. There was a similar story of a 'nessie' carcass that washed up in Clydebank, Scotland in the forties during the war but that's difficult to find online.

@ganados0

Actually, stories of dragons came from large snakes and monitor lizards initially. They grew in size just like the fish you caught last weekend.

Ha, that little bit of nonsense you were told is exemplary of the cornered creationist mindset...blame it all on a conspiracy.

"Evolution has ZERO evidence."

Have you never heard of Biology?

The entire science is built on the fact that organisms are related.

Why don't you believe ducks are related to hawks?

[ganados0]

"What happens to all the giant, plesiosaur, bigfoot and dragon bones that go into museums? these dickhead evolutionists destroy them." I was once told my response was: "they come out labelled as basking sharks, dinosaurs and elk by experts who know their stuff."

Dinosaur bones lead to stories of dragons, my guess is they excavated them and assembled them wrong like people did in the ninteenth century.

@semitope your comment is funny. That's all i'll dignify it with.
