Piltdown Man
The fossils that evolutionists present as evidence, in the face of millions of genuine fossils, consist of outright hoaxes, distortions, sleight of hand and deception. For example:
- "Piltdown Man," strongly defended by Darwinists for many years and portrayed for 40 years as major evidence of evolution everywhere from the newspapers to school textbooks is one example of such a hoax. Piltdown Man never actually existed at all. The "fossil" consisted of a recently deceased orangutan's jawbone being added onto a human cranium.
- "Nebraska Man" was depicted as evidence of evolution by evolutionists on the basis of a single tooth—which actually belonged to a wild American pig!
- The fossils in the fabricated "family tree" known as the Horse Series actually consisted of wholly independent species that lived at different times and in different areas of the world.
- The fossil Ramapithecus and the Australopithecus series actually consisted of extinct species of ancient apes, which fossils were illustrated in a totally misleading manner,
- And the illustrations presented by Ernst Haeckel as a basis for his thesis that the developing embryo in the womb repeated the supposed stages of evolution were fraudulent. This all left Darwinists with nothing with which to defend their theories.
