Except, of course, for the universe itself... and evolution itself... and the laws of physics themselves... and the body of evidence itself. Other than those isolated and minor four areas, evolution is iron-freakin'-clad.

Do you really think that is what archaeologists do? They find a bone and then just imagine what the creature looked like?
In the case of Nebraskan man, they found a tooth and constructed an entire creature around it using their artistic genius of course. All the newspapers announced that they had found the missing link!!
Unfortunately a few years later they found out that the tooth had actually belonged to an extinct pig!!

I've been following this thread in its entirety since its inception and frankly I find the ignorance shown by some people here hilarious.
Some of you have tried to make obviously misguided attempts to show how you feel your view point is valid, but all you have done is shown your ignorance and your deep misunderstanding of what you are trying to refute.
I'm talking to you dj2becker.
In fact I would be overjoyed.
Because at the moment you are the one making unsubstantiated claims.

I used the specific example of the fabrication of Nebraskan man. If you fail to realise that, I am afraid you cannot be helped.
Go ahead and believe every single chap who claims to have found the missing link and each time they prove its a fake, go ahead and believe that someday they will find the real thing.
Originally posted by dj2beckerThe problem is that you aren't disbelieving one crackpot scientist but every single renowned scientist who has made an archaeological discovery. Unless every single one of them is a fake the Earth is older than you claim.

My post was in response to someone who had specifically asked about the Neanderthals.

"If you are claiming that Neanderthals did not exist then you are claiming that almost every single archaelogical find is a fake."
Originally posted by dj2beckerAll you have ever done is deny, deny, deny. That is not debate. That is simply deny, deny, deny. You don't help your cause when all you can say is 'show me the money', especially after entire volumes have been written by real scientists with solid evidence to back them up, you don't really read those books, your mind is already made up and no amount of evidence will go past your totally fixated mind.
