Truth in science
The forgotten fossil ancestors.
As fossil hunters jet off to exotic places in the relentless search for ape-men fossils and the ever elusive 'missing links', down in the basement of the British museum of Natural History, virtually undisturbed for more than a century, languishes an amazing fossil which could dramatically overturn current views of human history. This fossil from Grande Terre in Guadeloupe was acquired by the museum in 1812, and publically displayed as a curiosity. However, in the latter part of the 19th century the fossil was removed from public display and has not been exhibited since. It is somewhat extraordinary that (although the specimen has been in its possession for over 200 years at the time of writing) the museum is not able to provide a proper technical report or any stock photographs of this specimen, despite its potential scientific importance.
This remarkable specimen is comprised of a skeleton of a human female solidly embedded in a block of lower Miocene limestone (lower Miocene rock was formed around 25 million years ago according to uniformitarian dating). The skeleton displays all the characteristics of having been embedded in the limestone sediment whilst the sediment was still in a fluid state, and the rock has subsequently hardened around it. If this is so, then this 100% human fossil would be dated at least 22 million years older than the oldest alleged 'ape-man' fossil yet discovered. Not surprisingly, some evolutionists have dismissed the skeleton as a later, intrusive burial. But have produced no convincing evidence for this claim. Surely therefore, it is time to commission a proper objective study of the fossil by sedimentologists, forensic scientists and other highly qualified experts so that the matter can be fairly assessed. It is deplorable that such a fascinating and scientifically valuable specimen should now lay ignored, forgotten and unseen in a publicly owned museum.
Unfortunately, this specimen is just one of many other extremely interesting human ancestor fossils which have been summarily dismissed for superficial reasons, and then quietly forgotten, apparently because they do not fit in with preconceived ideas about human evolution.
This is in stark contrast to the massive publicity and highly imaginative claims which regularly accompany extremely fragmentary and dubious 'ape-men' finds (see 'Jiggery Pokery' www.flickr.com/photos/101536517@N06/15703065445 ).
Some other examples of forgotten fossil ancestors.
Casteneldo.
Parts of a human skull were found in Pliocene clay strata, followed by the discovery of the scattered remains of 2 children and a human female skeleton in the same deposits. The layers above the finds were intact and undisturbed. 2 experts who studied the find were convinced that they were genuine Pliocene specimens. Even so, they were later dismissed by evolutionists as intrusive burials on the grounds that the bones were not fully fossilised. However, lack of fossilisation is not unknown in clay deposits and the undisturbed upper layers and scattered nature of the finds rule out intrusive burial. But these human bones would be too far old to fit the ape to human evolution story, so the intrusive burial claim had to be accepted regardless of the evidence. Hence the Casteneldo specimens are now conveniently forgotten or ignored.
Calaveras skull.
A fossilised human skull and part of a lower jaw were discovered encased in cemented Pliocene gravel 130 feet below the surface at bald hill, California. Several experts who examined and investigated the find (including the state geologist prof. Whitney) were convinced that the remains and circumstances of the find were genuine. Human tools and other artifacts were quite frequently found by geologists in the same deposits. But this human skull would be far too old for evolutionists to accept. So it was dismissed by evolutionist 'expert' opinion as a practical joke, on the grounds that it closely resembled modern Indian skulls!! And had a calcerous surface coating similar to some other skulls which had been found in caves. Although there was no evidence for such a practical joke, Calaveras does not appear in any human evolution charts and is now totally ignored.
Foxhall jaw.
A human jaw was found in the 'red crag' layer near Ipswich (late Pliocene). Numerous stone tools were also found in a layer below the jaw. The tool discoveries were verified by a special commission of experts. Drawings were made of the jaw, but unfortunately the jawbone itself disappeared. The disappearance of the jaw was considered sufficient reason for the evolutionary establishment to reject it as a possible human ancestor. This was very convenient, as once again it would have been too old to fit the ape to human evolution story. However, although the very dubious, monkey-like, Peking man fossils have also disappeared, Peking man is still widely cited as a human ancestor in books, charts and museum displays etc.
Double standards indeed!
More examples:
The Olmo skull, the Galley Hill skeleton, the Clichy skeleton, the Abbeville jaw, the Natchez pelvis.
There is not space to give full details of these and others here, but they are all 100% human remains found in deposits dated as far too old (by uniformitarian/geologic column dating) to fit the ape to human evolution theory. So consequently, it is really no surprise that they have all been rejected and forgotten.
Evolutionist 'experts' reject all these and other examples that are incongruous to the human, evolution story.
That would be fine if we could trust them to be objective. However, we have seen from the history of the promotion of Darwinism that evolutionists are far from impartial or objective.
We have seen evolution 'experts' endorsing the Piltdown Man fake for over 40 years, we have seen that they endorsed Nebraska Man - (which was not a man or ape, but a single tooth from a peccary) and used it as evidence supporting evolution in the famous Scopes Trial, we have seen that they endorsed South West Colorado Man - which was a tooth from a horse, they also endorsed Orce Man - which was the skullcap from a donkey, they endorsed the very dubious Java Man fossil, and continued to endorse it even after the man who found it (Dr. Dubois) admitted it was from a giant gibbon. So evidence against evolution is in no way given equal treatment by evolutionists as evidence for.
Therefore, the fact that evolutionists and notorious evolutionist websites, such as talkorigins, refute ALL incongruous fossil evidence against evolution cannot be taken seriously. Only an impartial assessment by persons with no ideological axe to grind should be acceptable.
So we can conclude from all this that the human evolution story is not as clear cut as we are usually led to believe. It is certainly an area where preconceived ideas and wishful thinking dominate. Where ideology frequently takes precedence over scientific objectivity. And where contradictory evidence is ensured a minimum of publicity, and inconvenient skeletons are guaranteed to be quickly shoved into proverbial closets, never to be seen or mentioned again.
Evolutionists are notorious for presenting dubious, and even faked evidence, supporting evolution to the public.
Bizarrely, here is an example of evolutionists actually faking evidence AGAINST evolution, in an attempt to discredit the genuine evidence and arguments against evolution, by muddying the waters.
Also. no doubt, to try to embarrass scientists who don't accept there is any good evidence for progressive evolution.
