Sunday Chat Summary:

EST vs EDT in time-zones; Jerome displayed an unwavering desire to change the subject when asked to support what science was built on the piltdown man not being a hoax. Sunject was dropped after 1½ hour.

Answered many times, in fact my answers are in the forum from which the discussion arose. I can only assume you wanted rephrasing such that you could better counter my argument; alas, you failed. I rephrased many times and none suited your plans.


What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell

You assume an intention on my part that never existed.
And you know all about assumptions, don't you? It makes an...

Ricky and I tried several times to explain to you that what you thought were answers couldn't be interpreted by us as answers. I know that I have a pretty good grasp of logic and of the English language. The same goes for Ricky. So my impression is that you simply didn't succeed in formulating your answer in such a way that it was understandable for a normal person. I think your lack of formal education is a very plausible explanation for this.

We also told you several times that at no time during the time period you claimed (41 years) did anyone make any research on the Piltdown Man. Even if the Piltdown Man had never existed, it wouldn't have made much impact on the research on mankind's ancestor. Jerome, if you claim that there was research made using the Piltdown Man as a legitimate fossil, then you need to cite that research and explicitly show how this research used the Piltdown Man as a foundation and support for the conclusions made.
Also, remember that Marf told you that the Piltdown Man fraud was supposed to show that hominids developed bigger brains before becoming bi-pedals, but in reality, later found fossils disproved that theory.

The Piltdown Man is tooted in Creationist jerk-off circles as one of the greatest examples on how Science is a failed method of figuring out the nature of reality. That you are now trying to use this fraud as evidence that the theory of mankind's evolution is bunk, is speaking volumes on what your sources are. I'm sorry, but you simply need to formulate your ideas better, or we won't be able to understand what you are trying to say. For now, My Theory Of Jerome is that Jerome is using Creationist sources for trolling, because that's the best he can do thanks to a lack of both general and scientific education. I cite Jerome's use of Piltdown Man as evidence supporting this theory.

As always, any theory is open for falsification, and if I'm proved wrong will either abandon this theory or rework it to comply with new evidence.
