[b] [QUOTE] gene90:
Because more transitionals are being found and there is no evidence that they are hoaxes. Just because you might find a three legged cat does not mean all cats have three legs, and the reasoning you are using here is unfounded and ridiculous.
redstang281:
Scientist have created fraudulant fossils in the past, so I have no reason to trust them now.

And yet you have no problem with the DEMONSTRATED dishonesty of certain YECists.
Why do you not hold YECies to the same standard you pretend to hold for mainstream science ?
I suppose, as long as one is lying for Christ — then being a liar is OK with you.

[b] [QUOTE] gene90:
Again, what makes us think they are a hoax, other than your unfounded belief that evolution is wrong?
redstang281:
Because of the high demand for scientist to find transitionally fossils. As soon as one is found the scientist is instantly famous. It's like the temptation for athletes to take steroids.

Actually you have it backwards. Again. (Surprise!)
Any Scientist who could provide evidence to convincingly OVERTURN the ToE would be the most famous and highly sought scientist in the world.
So what is this ‘demand for scientist to find transitionally [sic] fossils’ ?
Field paleontologists who find fossil evidence that is consistent with the ToE may make headlines in scientific journals but not much attention will be paid from the general public. However, if one finds the fossil that falsifies the ToE, she will make the front page on every new paper and be guesting every cable program on TV.
Kind Regards,
