  1. Their biggest hoax is evolution itself. It was God that created the earth and mankind. Look, since we have unlocked the human genome (which is something these people could have never have dreamt of) we've come to realize that as an information system, it makes the most complicated computer running the most complicated software look like child's play. Computers don't accidentally happen. The ideal that everything evolved is absolute ludacris.

  2. the reason for the lie is simple. He was a tool of Satan. You see satan is the father of lies. It was Christ that claimed to be the truth the way in the life and that no one could come to the father but by him. Scientists today we'll come up with the any conclusion you can pay them for. it's not about the facts, it's about the interpretation thereof

  3. Creationists often use the Piltdown Man as an example of how all evolution is false, but what they don't understand is one thing which led to skepticism of Piltdown Man was the fact that it didn't fit in with evolutionary theory.

  4. A coconut? They thought it was a coconut?! Are they claiming coconuts migrate!! Or, perhaps they're claiming it was carried by a swallow?! Surely it couldn't have been carried by a European swallow! An African swallow, maybe, but those are non-migratory!

    This was. a fraud from the very beginning!!

  5. IMO, the Antikythera mechanism is a most likely a * hoax. It was common to fake antiquities back then, mostly to bring interest to their research. It is a collection of random clock parts, etc. that were acid-aged and packed into the sand from the site under heat/pressure. It continues to bring interest to archeology, it is harmless, so its provenance has not been forensically examined.

    Ah!!! Those fossilized coconuts that plague the shallow geological layers of UK!
    As diggin hazards for workers, they're right up there with all those explosive bananas, what with all that potassium in them.

  7. @6:00 Dated views on empire: "Me make chiefs of inland and coat pay two bag of wheat, never before anyone have two bag of wheat. Me chief of world, master earth and sea!"
    Correct views on empire: "Not enough cities named Victoria, keep going till the map is red."

    (bad joke, not sorry)

  8. You should do a video on the L' Ambiance Plaza disaster in Bridgeport, Connecticut that happened in April, 1977. It's a good one! Your viewers would love it! Not that the disaster was good, I mean.

  9. If you look at the foundation of evolution objectively, you’ll find a lot of lies. Darwin, Haeckel and others made up all sorts of bs. Evolution will prove to be just another world’s folly along with geocentric orbits and flat earth.

  10. Reminds me a bit of that Belgian scientist who was dead sure he discovered a new type of radiation and could bring scientific fame to Belgium. Turned out he actually was so fixated on making a discovery, he actually not only hallucinated proof of this radiation, but also made others hallucinate the same, until outsiders tried to replicate his experiments and found nothing.
    In that case, it was not malicious but desire for scientific success. If I can find the name of that scientist again, I'll post is as a reply below.

    And I guess that same phenomenon, the desire to stay on top of the discovery game, did have some influence on the people involved with the Piltdown man…
