You weren't there (heh) so how do you know? (This is the same argument YECs use against science).

Where did modern horses come from?
Modern species of horses, such as the common horse, Equus caballus, evolved on the North American continent and migrated across the Bering land bridge into what is now Siberia. From there, horses spread across Asia into Europe and south to the Middle East and northern Africa. At the end of the Pleistocene epoch”about 10,000 years ago”a set of devastating extinctions took place in North and South America. Many large mammal species died out on the American continents, including mammoths, saber-tooth tigers, and all horse species. (The cause of these extinctions is unknown.
Er, what? The horses that moved into Asia did not go exinct. Is says as much in the paragraph you posted! How exactly is this a problem for the ToE? How exactly does it constitute a "hoax"?
Most importantly, how do explain what appears to be a ham-fisted attempt on your part to mischaracterise this information?
The rest of your links, by the way, are a collection of the usual PRATTs sourced from crank sites.

Atheism would have given me the following:
DrJones told me I could free myself from superstition.
Doddy told me I would have more time, I wouldn't be obligted to follow any message of intolerance or ignorance. That I could get along better with atheist. That I could relate to reality better. That I could understand the rest of biology better. And I would be a better steward with God's creation.
Stile said Atheism has nothing for you.
Ringo said I had been told I would be free from ignorance and prejudice.
Would you like to add anything?
How about a beautiful waterfront home, a 2007 Entourage van, a 2007 Nissan pickup, and a farm?
After all, none of these will be of much use in the afterlife will they?

If you want to refute something refute:
Cladistics, which the Museum has played an important role in developing, is the grouping of organisms by shared, specialized characteristics; each time a new evolutionary feature appears, a new branch grows on the evolutionary tree, comprising organisms that have both the old traits and the new one. Thus the display in the back shows that some later horses, such as Calippus, are actually smaller than earlier ones, and that other later horses, such as Neohipparion, still had three toes. This display is therefore both a classic demonstration of evolution and a paradigm of scientific method at the Museum.
Okay, I'm stumped. What am I supposed to be refuting here?
