Ossuary Hoax
Let`s not forget the discovery of the ossuary of Jesus. Or was it James? I can never keep my hoaxes apart.
​
That was not a creationist hoax. At least I don't think it was.
​
It was just some dealer out for money.

Time for the Creationists now?
We seen to be very short on input from the other side of the debate.
​
Who was the most recent creationist making fraud accusations?

Re: Ossuary Hoax
True, Ned, but seeing that creationists with media access made a fuss about the discovery of the ossuary (ossuaries?)along the lines of it validating Jesus and the Bible, I think it qualifies for a fraud. Wasn`t it archaeologists who exposed the dodgy inscription, leading to the arrest of the forger?
​
All that is true, but being fooled (even when you want to be) doesn't make you a liar.
​
Continuing to be "fooled" after the hoax is exposed is starting to be dishonest though.
