For some reason, the picture would not show up (though it showed up on my browser when I did "preview"), so I can email to someone eityher to see for themselves or try to make it available on the forum.
Basically, I took the horned skull pic, upped the contrast and brightness and ran it through a "sharpen" filter.
There is a clear and abrupt change in the texture of the bone of the orbit and the base of the 'horn', which is particularly evident above the right orbit.
Hi, I tried same, but no results. Could you send to grumpyd19@yahoo.com pls. I'm sure we can 'assume' this is a hoax until the actuall source is verfied, but I dont see Paintshop as our verifier
Either way I think it must be a fake as it surely would have been documented. Part of arguing the Creationists stance Messengha is making 100% sure of your sources. Unfortunitely there are many 'Christians' and 'Evolutionists' that will claim to have discovered something and write a book about it, purely for monetary gain. They feed off our 'need' to have to be right and know that if they write a 'revolutionary' book , people will buy it.
I agree a true Christian would never 'falsify' evidence to have people believe in God, however its not difficult to call yourself a Christian just to make money.
cheers

Well, Paintshop only enhances (actually, re-hances, as it appears that the pic on the linked page was 'doctored' to make the features less clear) the details of the picture. Looking at the anatomy - or supposed anatomy - is the clincher. I've seen animal skulls with horns - deer, bulls, etc. - and none have such a marked and "instant" change in texture at the base of the horn.
Could you show us a comparison somewhere if you have other pictures ? Just that I did exactly the same, except I magnified it and increased the contrast/brightness, but the horns had the same shading as other parts of the skull that was photographed at a similar angle. Then again I dont have many skulls to compare to and admittedly I am not an expert in Graphic design.
