Sure friend, sure. Just like the scientific community accepted Piltdown man for 40 years. Please don't expect me to wait 40 years to discover that they were wrong about their speculation concerning these skulls, i'll instead put their "evidence" in the category of speculation. Its seems like the rational thing to do.

How am I not supposed to interpret that as you claiming these fossils are fakes?

Tens of thousands of scientists accepted Piltdown man, and many other frauds as well.

You are saying that the fossils I have shown you are frauds?

Tens of thousands of scientists accepted that the appendix was useless.

False. They said the appendix was vestigial, not useless.

Eventually many of their speculations will be disproven. It seems rational to put their findings in the category of speculation, rather than unwisely asserting them to be infallible truth.

You can't answer the question?

Is it just speculation that the two pelvises in the middle are more like the pelvis on the left than the pelvis on the right? Seems pretty obvious to me.

People have too much of a mob mentality, in college you wouldnt believe how many idiots are actually graduating in science fields. Most of them succumb to peer pressure just like anyone else and tbh going to college made me lose faith in scientists. I decided I want to figure out things for myself, now obviously I cant experiment everything and reformulate a new idea about everything but when ever something new comes up Im always going to be suspicious. So many of these kids graduating are the kinds of people that think muslims are a race. I just dont trust people.

.
Actually the assertion that was being spoken was that they couldn't find a use for the appendix and they thought that it has no function. Also they were wrong when they said it was vestigial. You are merely attempting to rationalize their error.

I wont answer a question that I already answered.

You don't have to trust scientists. That's the whole point of science. You can look at the evidence and see if it backs their conclusions.

Problems arise when you just accuse all scientists of being wrong without looking at the evidence.

You never answered the question.

Are the two pelvises in the middle more like the pelvis on the left or the one on the right?

If I accused scientists of being wrong back when they accepted Piltdown man, and the other various frauds that were being circulated, then they would have said the same thing to me as you are saying now. See my point?

What does your avoidance of the question prove?

I am trying to understand what these fossils are, and what they prove. I'm asking a legitimate and honest question. Please answer it.

Let me get this straight.

You accuse all of these scientists, which recognize fossil evidence as being strong evidence to support evolution, as being wrong in their conclusions, yet, you don't even know what the fossils are supposed to support?

As I said before, you have dug yourself a huge hole and it is only getting deeper.

Would it not be natural for me to question an idea with a history of lies that made it spread and rephrased from greek mythology that was made by annerxia by a man named darwin that had a degree in theology instead of science.

If you are going to claim that scientists are lying, shouldn't you demonstrate that they are actually lying?

They are pelvises. They are the bones that are found between your legs and your torso. What more needs to be known?

I have only said that they are speculating. That is not unreasonable to believe, and its hardly digging a hole. I would say the same thing about any fossil because I have seen them speculate before, and have seen them proved wrong before. i don't trust any missing link fossils, therefore i wouldn't trust these ones either. However, seeing how you know so much, and want me to see the evidence, then please tell me what these fossils are, and what they prove. So far all i see is an image. It could be from anywhere, so give us more info on it.
