Evidence for God from Science

http://rense.com/general63/fraud.htm

Ha ha ha, I can't believe these guys. They don't even do it to prove theists wrong, they do it for fame, like that British dude.

It does show the value of peer review in science though, he was exposed by his (jealous?) co-scientists. It also begs the question how much other evidence is fraudulent.

Wow, isn't that interesting. You know Haeckler's drawings? They made humans, fish, amphibians, and some hoofed animal (and maybe one more animal) look the same during development? He made up the drawings. Kids are still taught that in school (it was in my college science book even) after over 100 years of being known as a fraud. This guy will live on in a textbook somewhere, it just follows that the lies keep on going and the truth is suppressed.

Not quite...


Haeckel did embellish some of his drawings to favor his personal interpretation.

However, his drawings are not still taught to kids.

It was in your college text was it? What text was it? I own about 6 college biology texts, I might have it and I will check.

His drawings are IN many texts for historical purposes, but I am unaware of any that 'teach' them. Actual photographs of the embryos are much more interesting and just as awesome. Very good evidence for evolution.

Non-sequitur.

Non-sequitur.

The mind wanders and I wasn't trying to prove a point-I was just saying that if stuff that's been proven wrong that long ago is still in the books (and it wasn't the history of science...I think it was taught as fact, along with the peppered moth stuff) what else (in science, in general) could still be wrong and known to be wrong.

WOW! That's horrible...I thought you were referring to me, and that looked like something I might write, so I thought I did write it...wow, my memory...wow....

Kmart man, you never cease to amaze me.

If you went to college in, say, the 1920s. then you may be right.

However, as I mentioned, Haeckel's drawings are still in texts for historical purposes.

That might explain why he's so senile.

Back in the day, I had to stand on street corners and sell apples for 5 whole cents!

They are not taught like that, though...I've never had it taught in class that they were wrong...except by a theistic creationist, who didn't find the info in the book, but knew it from another source.

In what class were you taught otherwise? When? Where?

I have several biology textbooks on a shelf behind me as I speak, and none of them refer to Haeckels drawings as 'fact'.

I remember being taught that the drawings were fact. And the text book that we used, although it didn't say it, it implied it. It was only till I did research later that I found that the drawings were nowhere near what is actually true.

When and where were you taught this?

Do you really mean 'nowhere near'?

Of course Haeckel embellished his drawings. But that does nto mean that the entire science of comparative embryology or the ToE is affected at all. Just another red herring.



What I am finding interesting is that amidst all these claims, nobody seems to be able to tell the name of the text, when or where this occurred.
