We Want It To Be Thus ... So It Is!

The Piltdown Man Conspiracy of 1912 erupted in E. Sussex when a few bones were discovered.
It was fascinating to watch the whole scam unfold on History's Greatest Hoaxes.
Dawson and Woodward bamboozled The Geological Society who were oh-so eager to swallow all of this nonsense, hook, line and sinker.
Along with the Cardiff Giant, Nebraska Man and a number of others, the naivety of alleged scientists was simply incredible.
Dubois had made similar claims for the alleged Java Man back in 1891/2. Simple dishonesty. Peking Man - where did so much of the 'evidence' disappear to?
Look at the dishonesty surrounding ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny; the presentation of Neanderthals as 'somehow less than human' to manufacture a so-called missing link.
Consider the work that had to be done on 'missing link', Lucy, in Olduvai Gorge Tanzania before she could be presented as one of our earliest ancestors.
Zinjanthropus was simply an ape - but presented as halfway between man and ape.
More than a century of their intrigues has not succeeded in pouring doubt on the hoaxes and rank dishonesty of so many evolutionists. (Incompetence and naivety must have also played their parts.)
I could list so many - and yet, evolution is accepted as a certainty.
Pardon my advanced doubting!

Perception?
