Men hunger for inerrancy. Where is the absolute truth to which we can cling? Perhaps we can find it in a single, holy person, we can find it in a pope who when he speaks ex cathedra, speaks without error.
Well, that didn't work out.
So then try out blind-faith evolutionism "instead" --
Darwin figured this one out as well.
Why trust the Bible - say some - when Darwinism is there just waiting for your blind-faith in Othaniel Marsh's horse fossil sequence - fraud. Or the whale-of-a-tale fraud.
============================
And when confronted with evolutionism's fraud what does the true-believer in evolutionism do? ...
double-down!
The Hebrews Genesis story requires blind faith, evolution has a fossil record.
Allow me to illustrate -- evolution fossil record "stories easy enough to make up"

On April 10, 1979, Patterson replied to the author (Sunderland) in a most candid letter as follows:
April 10, 1979 Letter from Colin Patterson to Sunderland
======================================================
“ I
fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew
of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them.
You suggest that
an artist should be used to visualise such transformations, but where would he get the information from?
I could not, honestly, provide it, and if I were to leave it to artistic license, would that not
mislead the reader?
I wrote the text of my book four years ago. If I were to write it now, I think the book would be rather different. Gradualism is a concept I believe in, not just because of Darwin’s authority, but because my understanding of genetics seems to demand it.
Yet Gould and the American Museum people are
hard to contradict when they say there are no transitional fossils. As a paleontologist myself, I am much
occupied with the philosophical problems of identifying ancestral forms in the fossil record.
You say thatI should
at least show a photo of the fossil from which each type of organism was derived.
I will lay it on the line-
there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument.[
The reason is that
statements about ancestry and descent are not applicable in the fossil record. Is Archaeopteryx the ancestor of all birds? Perhaps yes, perhaps no
there is no way of answering the question. It is
easy enough to make up stories of how one form gave rise to another, and to find reasons why the stages should be favoured by natural selection.
But such stories are not part of science, for there is no way of putting them to the test. So, much
as I should like to oblige you by jumping to the defence of gradualism, and fleshing out the
transitions between the major types of animals and plants, I find myself a bit
short of the intellectual justification necessary for the job “
