You mean a segment of honest scientists. The junk scientists and media ran with it for 40 years because it fit their pre-conceived religion of evolutionary theory gone wild. Kinda like today.Scientists discovered that it was fake through the investigation of the evidence.
Ditto. Thank the good Lord there are some bold enough not to run with the pack. Again, like today.In addition it was considered dubious as a human ancestor even when it wasn't known to be a fraud because it didn't line up with other evidence that had already been collected.
Here's a superb account, imho, of the entire saga and the exact response of the scientific community - the honestly skeptical co-existing alongside the willfully gullible...

The Problem of Piltdown Man
Seduced by a racist idea, archaeologists hyped an outrageous hoax.

Why did I throw in P. M.? Again, to demonstrate how photographs are only as good as the evidence to back them. The ones pro-offered proved zippo as "transistional forms". Really now...
You mean to the standard of truth? Setting one's boundaries - in stating as fact - to what is only observable? You betcha. As far as science goes.I don't believe that you hold any other attitude, opinion, belief or system to the same ridiculous standard you hold biology and geology.
What IS observable? Intelligent Design. Clear evidence of a Creator. How many here have actually watched and responded to the vid's awe-inspiring evidence of creativity and brilliant design in the OP?
Point made.
Where one goes from there in seeking to know Him is surely a matter of faith. A faith that is abundantly rewarded for those that find Him.
God bless!
