Do I deny that the occasional hoax has been perpetrated by scientists and later revealed to be such? Of course not. That you resort to these long discredited cases reveals the infirmity of your argument. That you are happy to accept magic and miracle on the basis of a single obviously biased and flimsy source while blithely denying the evidence of a hundred years of research in several different disciplines debases your opinion completely.

That wasn’t my point. You had claimed evolutionary hoaxes were uncovered quickly. That assertion by you is false. Piltdown Man wasn’t revealed to be a hoax for 40 years and Ernst Haeckel’s fake embryo drawings were still taught in American schools long after they were revealed to be a hoax.

My reference to these cases was solely to demonstrate that your assertion that evolutionary hoaxes were uncovered quickly was false. Rather than admit you were wrong, you’re changing the subject.
<<That you are happy to accept magic and miracle on the basis of a single obviously biased and flimsy source>>
You still don’t seem to know that the Holy Bible is not one book, but 66 books written by 40 men on three continents over 1,500 years.
<<while blithely denying the evidence of a hundred years of research in several different disciplines debases your opinion completely.>>
And yet you can’t cite a single shred of evidence for macroevolution.
