Re: In rebuttal to false claims of submitting evidence by evos.
So, do you have any evidence for the claims made in your OP?
---
A Polite Request
If I say "pretty please",
if I beg on my knees,
if I pray and petition and plead,
if I sigh and I cry
will you prove you don't lie
by supplying the facts that I need?
All I want is a soupon or grain or iota
of evidence backing your view;
when I ask for one fact, and you can't meet the quota,
it looks like you don't have a clue.
All I'm asking (good grief) is
some proof your belief is
more real than the average dream:
not a lot, just a little:
a jot, or a tittle,
a smidgen, an inkling, a gleam.
For I've heard your position, but still I'm not gleaning
a speck or scintilla or scrap
of a pinch of a dash of an atom of meaning
to show that you're not talking crap.
Don't be mute, don't be dumb
but let fall just a crumb
of the reason you think what you think,
or the glimmer or glint
of a tip or a hint ---
I'd make do with a nod and a wink.
I've asked you politely with patience and tact,
and so now let me ask you again
for a shred of a shard of a fragment of fact
to convince me you've not gone insane.

Re: In rebuttal to false claims of submitting evidence by evos.
In this case they are completely equal since many responses by your side to my oft repeated requests for absolute evidence that your claims of evolution are founded in fact have resulted in your side admitting that no scientific conclusions are absolute. So my interpretations are definitely as valid as yours since you readily admit that you can't prove your interpretations either.
The principles of epistemology do not actually mean that the statements "all pigs fly" and "no pigs fly" are equivalent, nor that a bunch of halfwitted gibberish is equivalent to evidence.

Re: Creationist wrong again
I mean, when I argue that these early hominids have no similarities to modern humans in any real way, you all come back with, well, of course not ...
You are making false statements to us about what we say.
Whom do you hope to deceive?

Summation
With the exception of Piltdown Man, a fraud by an unknown hand that was debunked by scientists (i.e. "evolutionists") no example of fraud has been offered on this thread.
Ironically, then, the repeated claims of "fraud" made by creationist liars are themselves fraudulent and dishonest.
It is curious that whenever anyone becomes really passionate about Biblical literalism, the first thing they do is to break the commandment against bearing false witness. But such, it seems, is the case.
