Why Lie?
Hi Don’t Be a Flea,
If evolution is such a sound science, why are there so many forgeries?
Maybe evolution is not a sound science.
It seems that one lie on top of another, is piled up in our science textbooks.
It seems that scientists keep saying that the evidence is overwhelming. Maybe this is why most scientists think the evidence is overwhelming. They grew up with these textbooks with all of these lies in them. I know that when I was a child they had pictures of apes turning into humans. I don’t know if it was a lie, but now they say it was not true. They actually had drawings that made it appear they knew what they were talking about. It makes you wonder whether much of the evidence that scientists claim to have today is a figment of their imagination or an outright fraud.
I notice how huge a headline is when a new so called discovery is made, but when it turns out to be a fraud, or a mistake, it takes sometimes decades to for it to work its way out of the textbooks and for the scientific community to acknowledge it.
Are any of these examples of fraud or mistakes still in textbooks today?
With so many frauds, the evolutionary family tree is thinning of the fossil evidence necessary to give credence to their theories.
Actually, they need more than a bunch of old bones to give credence to their theory. They need some real scientific evidence that macroevolution is even possible. They need to observe this process before they claim it as a fact. Every time they find a fossil, it seems they want to say “here look this proves the "theory of evolution.” You could just as easily say “here look this proves Creation.”
My question is why? Why the fraud? Why the lies? I find it hard to believe that scientist can be so pure at heart that they always stay objective and never let money or fame influence their findings.
There is no such thing as true objectivity in science. Every theory is based upon evidence that is interpreted through an individual’s belief system. Our entire makeup influences how we view the world, and how we view physical evidence. You couple this with the opportunity for financial gain and/or prestige then you could have a real problem. Obviously, you have looked at a number of those problems as it relates to the field of evolution.
