Re: Evolutionists Seem To Be Panicking Over I.D.

Good of you to shift the goalposts from one losing proposition to another. Aside from having no facts, distorting the truth, your position suffers from schizophrenia. Choose a topic and stick to it!! 

The creationist liars claim that  : Archaeoraptor was touted by scientists as a bird-dinosaur transition, but it was revealed as a fake.

The truth is that :

1. Archaeoraptor was not a scientific fraud. It was put together by the Chinese fossil hunter who discovered it. The pieces were assembled to make the fossil more marketable to collectors, not to researchers. This worker may or may not have known that the tail came from a separate fossil (Simons 2000).
   
   
2. Archaeoraptor was published in the popular press, not in peer-reviewed journals. The main author of the article about it was National Geographic's art editor, not a scientist. Nature and Science both rejected papers describing it, citing suspicions that it was doctored and illegally smuggled (Dalton 2000; Simons 2000). Normal scientific procedures worked to uphold high standards.
   
   
3. The two halves of Archaeoraptor (Yanornis martini, the body, and Microraptor zhaoianus, the tail) are valuable fossils in their own right (Rowe et al. 2001; Xu et al. 2000; Zhou et al. 2002).
