An interesting study, the author essentially searched references for various fossils in creationist websites and found that they really (and not surprisingly) fail to provide complete evidence of the fossil record.

The point being that if someone were to use the information presented in a creationist website to decide whether or not to believe in evolution, the large gaps in information presented might make creationism appear more plausible.

What I find most interesting is buried a bit in the study. The Piltdown Man is referenced in the creationist websites more than any other fossil except Lucy (and in one case more than Lucy). Of course, the piltdown man was a hoax...

LOL at creationists attempting to do science. Start with the conclusion, then work your way backward.

Don't laugh at the exhibits in the creationist museum in Cincinnati. They will throw your azz out. Ask me how I know.

Ask them how much good could've been accomplished with the money spent on the museum. Bet you will also be asked to leave. 😇

Buckwheat. I was forcibly escorted out. I wish I had thought of that it would have been the feather in that cap.

Odds are that we're living in a computer simulation. Much easier to create virtually than for real.

Wheel when arguing a point rational thought is needed.

First off you lack the basic concept that creationionism and evolution are mutually exclusive. Second by arguing that intelligent design proves creationism is valid does not prove that intelligenct design exists. Finally you ignore all of the scientific evidence supporting evolution and debunking creationism.

The one thing no one ever seems to remember, scientist are PEOPLE too and some just want their 15 minutes of fame. To have ones work end up in some journal weather it's fact or fiction is a driving force.....let's consider Global Warming shall we.

Got it, science is meaningless when it comes to finding the truth. In fact it may very well be fiction. How come all creationists come back with essentially the same answer? Because it allows you to justify your point of view or because you view science as evil, or some other equally incorrect reason.

Wow, you have a bit of anger bros. I'm NOT trying to justify my point or anyone else's, simply pointing out the Short Coming and frailties of MAN. So I assume in your world because some scientist says so....it must be the Gospel? Never EVER said science was evil, your letting your emotions cloud your thoughts. Prove I'm incorrect smart guy, show me that no " proven " scientific claim has NEVer been disproven....
