Why did Communists promote Evolution?

Lol, the fact they were lucky and found a large number of horse fragments but not a ton of ape fragments in no way proves anything. The fact they found ANY ape fragments is evidence alone. This idiot apparently does understand how fossilization works. Sometimes you find lots of something sometimes you will find a little of something timescales that have nothing to do with it nor does population size as you could have millions of a population and only 2 corpses fossilized and survived to be found. Also, the size of the fossils is irrelevant the fact there are fossils at all is evidence. The fact we have any fossils, to begin with,is borderline miraculous considering all the forces working against both their formation and preservation over countless years.

Ape Fragments would be a great name for a band.

3. Angrboda, as I mentioned and documented, some 250 publications for over 40 years used Piltdown Man to try argue against the Special Creation of the First Human Couple. They irrevocably destroyed the Faith of millions, for which they will have to give account to Almighty God. They falsely tried to use this as evidence in their Anti-Christian Scopes trial; they claimed it as the missing link for a long. And it was a Hoax! Then they quietly buried it as though nothing was out of the ordinary. This is like a Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery. The people behind it are trying to kill not your bodies, but your souls. It's up to you to be wise enough to figure that out in time to go to Heaven. The evidence is clear.

Now, let me re-quote the salient excerpt from Williams around 1930: "While Wells says the bones of 100,000 horses were found in a single locality, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka says that the bones of 200,000 prehistoric horses were found in another place. Why should we not find, for the same reason, the bones of millions of ape-men and ape-women in 750,000 years? Instead of millions we have the alleged fragments of 4, all of which are of a very doubtful character."

In other words, Williams argues that the number of the alleged fragments of Piltdown man are so small - 4 instead of millions - that there's very good reason to believe there were not actual alleged ape-men over millions of years, and Piltdown man was a Total Hoax, as it was proven to be.

None of that demonstrates that Piltdown Man was a hoax.   So your saying that he exposed the Piltdown Man as a hoax is just you telling more lies.  I'm guessing that thou shalt not bear false witness is your favorite commandment as you honor it in the breach so often.

(And IIRC, Darwin answered Williams' objections long before he made them.  Apparently, your Williams was an ignoramus.)

It was science that exposed Peltdown man as science corrects itself and this guy's desperate attempt to treat this as if it was some vast conspiracy against his religion is freaking hilarious. And the idea that scientists needed Pelt down man to argue for evolution and against creationism is also dumb. Also, the idea that it was buried is also ridiculous Pelt down man has been talked about plenty since SCIENCE discovered it wasn't real and not his creationist kook. This guy's tinfoil hat really is on too tight. Also, the idea that teaching evolution in schools in Anti Christain is freaking hilarious.

Also, the idea of a "missing link"  is silly as every single fossil we find is "the missing link" as there is no singular point where you can say ah hah we have found a distinct split from an ape to a human because every fossil is an ape to another ape because humans are apes. Peltdown man was just another of a number of fossils they found and any of the others is all we would need to win the argument. The idea everything rested on Pelt Down man is silly.

If silliness is a deterrent then the cult of Jesus would have aborted itself even prior to its own inception.

At any time in its history Christianity exists purely because of widespread congenital and culturally inculcated feebleness of mind, and much of latter Christianity itself was purposefully responsible for.

Actually that was a quote from Fredrick the Great.    It sounds less cool once you realize he uttered it while in the middle of losing a battle and was trying to motivate some of his dispirited cannon fodders to save him from a worse defeat.

Evolution has made monkeys out of men.

Nishant.

No bullshitter, evolution has developed humans and monkeys out of a common ancestor which was monkey like to humans and human like to monkeys.

You see, reality has this funny way of being right.

It’s been said - with a lot of justification - that if extraterrestrials came to Earth and started classifying life, part of it would be:

Gorillas - the big apes

Orangutans - the red apes

Chimps - the smaller apes

Humans - the smooth apes

It’s no accident that every single method of classifying life on this planet - cladistics, genetics, morphology - places humans firmly among the apes. We aren’t just related to apes. We ARE apes.

We are so much apes that by the rules of taxonomy we should be of the Genus Pan. Homo is simply a sop to the religious to keep them from freaking out too much about what apes we actually are.
