That's pretty impressive when all you have to go on is a pig tooth! No imagination or assumptions involved at all there!
It would not surprise me in the least if some grave robbers (paleoarchaeologists) found a Homo tooth, made it into a race of Linnaeus-knows-what, complete with the environment he lived in, long hair all over him, hunched over a campfire, female and children all with him -- then later, someone notices that that tooth has a filling in it.

Not really. It was all over the news.

Oh.

What's that have to do with the point I made that science made monkeys out of us?

Why would we believe evolution is correct when mistakes such as"nebraska man" are possible?

Do they teach about all the debate among the Paleoanthropologists as to whether some finds are really what they are claimed to be? Or do they present all this as fact?

This is what is at the root of a willful ignorance. You continually repeat a fallacy of bifurcation after you been corrected numerous times.

You can find the answer to this within a middle school science course, well at least in a public middle school.

... I was once asked what the big bang theory stated. And I responded by saying "well, it's when a supernova exploded"...
Hahaha That's hilarious.

You know what's also funny.
Before reading your post, if someone had of asked me if I know what the Big Bang Theory Stated - I'd have said "Yes. Of course I know".

Just now I've tried to explain it to myself. Turns out my answer isn't much better than a supernova exploding hahaha

Imagine what the professionals must think about us amateurs speaking on a subject as though we're experts hahaha

Worse still - imagine how silly we sound quibbling with each other in God's eyes haha

Humans are made in God's image. Apes are just animals.
Humans, chimps and bonobos share a surprising ~98 percent of their DNA so God must have used the same DNA for humans and chimps. Many Christians believe the image of God is the human soul and do not assume the image literally looks like God.

No, it's more like 90 percent, but that's not the point. No, we don't look like God necessarily, although God decided to look like us in order to save us from ourselves.
At what point did God insert a soul into an ape? If we are still apes, why would we have souls?

What's the fallacy? That the finds are contested? That's a fact.
Another F. You have been informed numerous times that when there are competing scientific theories the one with the best evidence and best predictions becomes the leading theory. That you repetitively make the same incorrect claims is a sign of willful ignorance, i.e. ignoring the facts.

If you want to know what the fallacy is clink on the link I provided.

I'm not going back to high school, so how about you just answer the question?
I answered it numerous times already. You will not learn science from creationist apologetics but you don't need to go back to HS. Try google and youtube. Here is a sample of what you can learn.

That doesn't make it correct. There can be multiple possibilities that equally fit the evidence. And you want to claim that there is no bias among scientists, that are doing the choosing? That's impossible also. You can pretend everyone chooses only due to the best evidence, but humans don't work that way. We all choose what's best for us, especially if ruled by sinful impulses.

That's not what I asked, so nevermind. I didn't ask for a lecture on evolution. I asked if the teaching is honest about the finds being contested by other scientists. I highly doubt it.

Whether it is 90 or 98% it is an overwhelming amount of likeness.
No, we don't look like God necessarily, although God decided to look like us in order to save us from ourselves.
That is your religious interpretations have you checked out other interpretations?
At what point did God insert a soul into an ape?
Did he? I don't know of anyone who claimed he did.
If we are still apes, why would we have souls?
Humans are hominids not apes. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam believe we have souls. Hindus and Sikhs believe that both humans and animals have eternal souls.
