They haven't, chief. The only case I am aware of is a single scientist who confused a peccary tooth with a hominid, and the entire scientific community quickly rejected his claims.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There are no alien genes, so how could I find a legit website.
Yes. Aliens who evolved independently of us would not even have the same genetic systems or codon usage that we have, much less sharing 96% of their DNA sequence with chimps (which is true for junk DNA as much as genes).
Creationist websites are of little interest to the truth of the reality around us. The map is not the territory.
Why would there be such a website?

Just to clarify (hopefully I get this right . . .)
The reason that some groups are more closely related to neanderthals is interbreeding between limited human and neanderthal populations after the two split from their common ancestor. This is why you tend to find neanderthal genes in European populations but not Asian populations.
For chimps, there was no interbreeding between the populations. All humans are genetically equidistant from all chimps because we all share the same common ancestor. Any bias towards chimps in any population will be due to selection against other more derived alleles. Given the size the genome I highly doubt that any ethnic group will be significantly "more like chimps" than any other.

Correction there are more Neanderthal genes in Eurasian populations but not in African populations.
Yup.

There was such a species ... although I'm certain scientists would call it something a little more .... ummm .... scientific.

Firstly we can investigate those skulls and show the stress marks if they were deformed during development.
But you completely ignored the DNA aspect. Why does DNA from human relatives line up with the developmental similarities?
The bones we have are not lone freak either. We found multiple creatures at different ages.

If you're talking about Oliver, he was marketed as such, but that hypothesis was never taken seriously by scientists.

So, it's possible to market a subject such as evolution to the world, and best of all to schools and little children.

Split Rock
Conflation of Blathers
A scientist, who was not an expert on mammalian anatomy, misidentified the tooth. This was quickly corrected by experts on mammalian anatomy, and the discoverer accepted the correction. Nothing became of it except a newspaper article that creationists love to cite to this day, as if it was from On the Origin of Species itself.
Do you believe there is no way to tell the difference between a misshappen bone and a non-misshapen bone? Yes or no, please.

No. It was not a fraud, it was a misidentified tooth. It just so happens that pig teeth look very much like human teeth, and a non-expert made an error. No fraud was involved.

There are many species of turtle, tortoise and alligator. Some of them are extinct, some not. The evidence is that current species came from past ones via evolution.

The key is that the interbreeding with Neandertals was recent, and uit took place in a branch population that has mixed relatively little with African populations since then because of our geographic dispersal. It is possible that the human and chimpanzee lineages hybridized after their initial split (precisely this scenario was proposed some years back by Nick Patterson and David Reich to explain some peculiar genetic features), but if this happened it was millions of years ago; any genetic contribution to modern humans from it have probably spread throughout the entire species by this time.

It's a well evidenced modern scientific theory. It's also a very interesting explanation for the history of life on this planet... sounds like a great thing to teach in school.

Not without lots of scientific evidence across a wide range of scientific disciplines supporting it.

Think about it. Can your evidence fit in a box? Can you explain it all in a paragraph? Can anyone see all the evidence you have with their own eyes? No, No, and, No.
You can't see God yet you believe already in what you can not see with your own eye. You put your trust in Science, I put my trust in God. I read the bible and I am filled, you read your journals and are left with more questions.

For little kids? Sure you can!
Boxes of pretend fossils, demonstrations about inheritance "You are a little like you grand parents, but not the same".
Kids love practical things, and if you make the effort they are very smart and can understand the concepts.
But ALL the evidence? Sure you can't put it all in a little box and explain it with a paragraph... I'd have thought that was a good thing?
If you have the answers, then explain all our evidence?
Why does the genetic evidence line up with the fossil evidence?
Why is there millions of years of water and life evidence scarred into the Earth?

No you don't, and it's not true. You're conflating the Nebraska man myth with some other fantasy that exists only in your mind. Nebraska man was the discovery of a peccary molar (human and porcine molars are very similiar), that was never taken seriously by scientists and in fact contradicted the theory of evolution. The only people who took it seriously was the London Illustrated Mail that invented a fanciful drawing based on the artists imagination and nothing more.
