Has the entire fossil record been an elaborate fake?

Question

It must have taken some doing! Imaging all the molds you would have to make!, anyways a friend of mine who calls himself 'the wing commander' stated as fact that the fossil record was a sham, I told him that I have found fossils and they were clearly real, however he argued that as I am not is the possession of a mass spectrometer I could not say whether the fossils were formed 50 MYA or last week! This guy absolutely insists that its a fake but he believes that ufo's are real and that the royal family are lizard shape-shifters am I surrounded by morons?

Answer 1

The fossil record is real. I've personally handled dozens of the fossils of early man from Africa, and these are absolutely real bone, not casts. Any osteologist can tell a plastic cast apart from real bone in a second: weight, texture, colour...it's really easy. I've even handled the one _real_ fake fossil, the notorious Piltdown Skull from the UK!

Answer 2

I worked in a coal mine for twenty odd years and we came across many fossils, tree branches etc.

No one is going to tell me that the coal at 3/4 of a mile down was only made last week :)

Answer 3

Just for the record, Dr Alexi - fossils have NOT been carbon dated to a billion years ago. Partly because C14 dating doesn't extend back anything like that far - but mainly because you cannot carbon date rock.

Which isn't to say that the fossil record is anything but genuine, of course...

EDIT: Geoff G - the one things these things are definitely *not* is real bone. They're fossils. Rock. No bone required.

Answer 4

what scientific device is he in possession of for measuring the lizardness of royalty?  and when did he last get it calibrated?

Answer 5

Of course fossiles are genuine, especially when dug up all over the world, and found to be consistant.  Consistancy is the key to know it is  genuine.  For example - the real story about Darwin, is that he was suppose to have falsified his fossiles that he found for his evolution theory - and this is not acknowledged today.  That he had a huge ego, and would do anything to prove he was right, even to falsifying his evidence.

It should be noted that conspiracies and such like do exist.  You have only to look at world religions to see this.  Make up a timeline of religion and see how short they are - compared to the history of the Earth, and of the world civilisations - particularly the ancient ancient civilisations.  Look at the ancient ruins worldwide, to know we have a lot of unknowns - in terms of civilisations and what knowledge they had?

Graham Hancock does a very interesting presentation in his books and in various documentaries he has appeared - particularly in his documentaries "The Quest for the Lost Civilisation" (3 parts).

The UFO field is a very difficult area to learn the truth about.  I would strongly recomend the DVD "The Silent Revolution of Truth" which is an excellent summary of the evidence/proof for the Billy Meier UFO Contacts - ie. the Plejarens. See www.figu.org (English Discussion Board) and it's extensive archives there.  Particularly look up the Questions and Answers to Billy Meier archive.  The Plejarens do comment on what were the genuine ET contacts, versus the hoaxes and fakes.

Billy Meier and the Plejarens comment on those things which are not 'real' - such as those reptilian myths/stories and others...

Of course, there are going to be some very strange stories indeed, which will sound like science fiction - but are plausible and possibly real... eg.

I do watch a lot of documentaries over the years - and have collected them via the Internet - and have several hundred by now - and have downloaded every UFO documentary I can, also many that cover the ancient civilisations and their technologies, etc etc etc.

Answer 6

Ha ha, there are some idiots around. I used to work with a man who told me that scientists plant fossils at the weekends so they can disprove creationist theories. I'm glad, my boyfriend is a scientist and I thought he was having an affair because he kept disappearing at weekends!! At least I now know the truth.

Answer 7

"In my years of online discussions with creationists, three different creationists, at different times, have told me in all apparent seriousness that flying saucers are actually time machines that are used by atheistic scientists to travel back into the past and plant fake fossils as evidence for evolution." -- Lenny Flank -- Author of "Deception by Design; The Intelligent Design Movement in America".

Answer 8

It's all true ..the rulers shakers/makers/shape shifters of this planet including the royal family and G Bush are in fact alien lizards in league with the IIluminati. Worse still our entire perception of what constitutes reality is in fact that we are merely artifacts of a computer program instituted 4.3By years ago by pan-galactic rodents to try to  answer the question of life the universe and everything..desperately trying to wake up NEO!

Answer 9

A certain type of person will go to ANY lengths to defend what they think is their religion. They will lie, cheat, obfuscate, misquote, do anything to deny that which is self-evident to those without blinders on. I'm a bit surprised that you seem not to have already known that.

Answer 10

its true LOOK

Answer 11

Sure.  And "The Flintstones" was a documentary.

Your pal been reading David Icke?

Answer 12

God created the fossil record on day 2 of creation to wind up the Southern Baptists.

Answer 13

No, of course not! Fossils are proof that the Earth is much older than 6,000 years. ( next someone will say they saw Elvis on the moon).

Answer 14

David Ike's got a lot to answer for

Answer 15

Am I surrounded by morons? Yes

Has the entire fossil record been an elaborate fake? No

Answer 16

probably, considering the amount of years it takes to form a fossil. Also try getting ur freind to look out for any funny green men around an army base

Answer 17

All over the world? For hundreds of year? That's some conspiracy!

Answer 18

>Has the entire fossil record been an elaborate fake?

Yes. Also, the Moon landings were a hoax, the Earth is actually both flat and hollow, the n***s have a secret base in Antarctica, the jews, freemasons and illuminati are busy forming a New World Order, aliens walk among us and were responsible for crop circles, the egyptian pyramids and the nazca lines, Jesus married Mary Magdalene, the american government engineered 9/11, homosexuals are trying to corrupt our children as part of the 'g*y agenda', Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster both exist, mayan sarcophagi show pictures of ancient astronauts in spaceships, siberian miners drilled through into h**l, the Philadelphia Project transported a ship into an alternate dimension, George Bush and Queen Elizabeth are both humanoid reptiles, Venus was really a moon of Saturn and caused the parting of the Red Sea, TV shows are brainwashing us with subliminal messages and airplanes are spraying nerve gas across the sky. And THAT'S why I'm always careful to have my tin foil cap on!

</sarcasm>

>am I surrounded by morons?

Yes. So is everyone else. Get used to it.

Answer 19

I would take NONE of what your friend says to be true.

* There have been NO valid UFO sightings.

* Fossils have been carbon dated to nearly a billion years ago.

* The royal family may look like lizzards but they are just germans.

Answer 20

Fortunately not. But I would get shot of your friend - he sounds like a loony to me.

Answer 21

The only entity with the motive and ability to fake the entire fossil record is Satan, and he doesn't exist.

And yes, you are surrounded by morons.

Answer 22

The only way the fossil record could be fake is if the creationists are right about God making everything 6000 years ago.  Then all that evidence we have found is counterfeit created by God for the purpose of misleading us from his Holy Word.  He has absolutely crammed the world with lies to throw us off.

Wow!  What a conspiracy theory that would be!

Answer 23

This guy is an idiot. The entire fossil record is not a fake. The royal family are not lizards, most UFOs are seen by drunk people near airport, and as shape shifting only exists in fairy stories.....
