I will correct any mistakes I make, and I promise, It wont take 40 years!
I just realized this this very morning, just minutes ago.
Epperson vs Arkansas,
1968, led to the striking down of the "monkey laws"
which had been on the books since the early/mid 1920's. For a little more than
40 years.
The immediate anti-evolution response was to create "creation science", an outright and
deliberately crafted deceptive attempt to circumvent the courts. Through all its different avatars over the next
40 years -- a new set of sheep's clothing crafted every time the current set has been identified and exposed for the outright deception that it is, each new set of sheep's clothing deliberately crafted for the same purpose: deliberate deception.
The deliberate deception of "creation science" has been going on for
40 years now. Part of which is their lies about "Nebraska Man", a mistake that was corrected by its discoverer within 3 years.
Gotta love the irony!
PS
BTW, part of the "Nebraska Man" story was that the tooth had apparently been rotated in its socket and thus had unusual wear patterns that made it look more like an anthropoid ape's tooth.

Of course, if Dr. Mortimer's surmise should be correct and we are dealing with forces outside the ordinary laws of Nature, there is an end of our investigation. But we are bound to exhaust all other hypotheses before falling back upon this one.(Sherlock Holmes in

Gentry's case depends upon his halos remaining a mystery. Once a naturalistic explanation is discovered, his claim of a supernatural origin is washed up. So he will not give aid or support to suggestions that might resolve the mystery. Science works toward an increase in knowledge; creationism depends upon a lack of it. Science promotes the open-ended search; creationism supports giving up and looking no further. It is clear which method Gentry advocates.("Gentry's Tiny Mystery -- Unsupported by Geology" by J. Richard Wakefield,
