Predictable as all creationists are: I pulled up this video preemptively, and lo and behold you hit literally every example in it, thoughtlessly as always.
With the exception of Piltdown Man,
none of the "Frauds" you listed were ever accepted by the scientific community, were in fact debunked
by the scientific community and not creationists, and the only reason Piltdown Man ever fooled anyone at all was because the technology required to test it and reveal it as a fake hadn't been invented yet; the moment it was, Piltdown was tested and proven to be a fake, by scientists.
You're thinking of Nebraska Man with the pig's tooth thing, but that one never fooled scientists at all; it was published in a popular magazine, without peer review, while the actual scientific community roundly rejected the thing immediately during the same period.
The actual Java man is an example of Homo Erectus, with the stories being told regarding its fraudulent nature being exaggerated lies propagated by that bastion of dishonesty, Duane Gish. It
is a legitimate fossil find. Peking Man is similarly a subset of Homo Erectus, of which there are multiple examples.
Finally, the idea that Lucy is just a monkey is a bald faced lie, given that the scientific community has pegged it as an Australopethicus fossil, of which we have plenty of them too. Literally everything you just said was a lie, Prof.

Yeah, luckily the scientific community has more rigorous morphological criteria than your derpy, intuitive observations of forehead sizes.
Quote:Then we have the famous evolutionary tree everyone has seen, the issue there is, in actuality, the trunk and branched do not exist- only out at the leaves we find living (and dead) things.
Oh wow, a bare assertion. I'll forget all that evidence that science has, now that somebody told me otherwise for no reason.
Unsurprisingly, this claim of yours has been addressed.
Quote:I almost forgot the masterpiece of circular reasoning- the evolutionary dating method based on the geological column which is dated by the fossils therein.
Another lie, long debunked.
Quote:And who can forget the dating methods of carbon decay which give a vast array of dates (pick Me, pick Me!) one can designate for a single specimen, all based on an assumed starting point. Or living critters dated at gadzillion years.
Brilliant.
And another.
Quote:It is real simple.
I work with real science every day. We did this- we got that.
But when evolutionary theory is tested the same way, like with Diane Dodd's fruit fly experiments, the Nylonase experiments and so on, you don't accept that. You just pretend that evolution is something other than what they were testing, and what it's actually defined as. So, you understand "real science," up until the point its conclusions disagree with what you want to be true: why even bother saying this, then?
Quote:Murphy's law BY ITSELF negates all your time+ magic mutations= all forms of life we see.
Wait, are you claiming that mutations don't exist, now? You think you're a genetically identical clone of your parents?
Quote:You have nothing like gravity, cause and effect...all you have is smoke, mirrors and incantations from white lab coated religionists.
See above. You have literally no factually accurate information about evolution.
