Piltdown Textbook
mc...@sunset.net
Check this out. Some guy actually finds Piltdown Man in an old Zoology
textbook. A field that I hadn't even considered. And since this is a
very old textbook consider the textbooks that have come since that
time. And I said that I found a text from the 40's and one from 1952.
So then, there were millions of textbooks made.

Is it really possible that a person could go through life as clueless
as you?
Did you bother to read past the part where PZMrs says there were texts
with Piltdown in them? Or did you just start capering about your little
padded room, making those sounds that get the orderlies all upset with
you?
Here's the good part:
"Reed is right that the Piltdown hoax had relatively little impact on
our understanding of the mechanisms of evolution, or even of our
understanding of the history of the human lineage; even in its prime,
Piltdown was considered something of a peculiar outlier, and was not a
major influence on schoolkids. It certainly wasn't used as "proof" of
evolution! What it really is now is evidence that science has a process
for weeding out bad data, a process that is sometimes slower than we'd
like, but that does work; creationism lacks such a mechanism, and what
they'd really like to do is subvert a successful scientific process."
As for "millions"- well, you ran from my challenge when I first wrote
it, so I won't bother with you again.

Check this out. Say that from 1915 to 1952 Piltdown Man was included
in some zoology textbooks, some history textbooks and some other
science textbooks. That means that if only 2000 textbooks were produced
a year in the ENTIRE WORLD, per year, what would the math be? But 2000
is a super low figure. Sorry. But there were millions of textbooks
produced.

1. You've evaded the fact that a contention was made that there weren't
millions of texts produced that contained Piltdown Man.
2. You've claimed that Piltdown hoax had little impact on the
"understanding of the history of the human lineage." But that is an
irrelevant point.
3. The point is that scientists and textbook companies were fooled.
If scientists can be fooled about Piltdown Man, then scientists can be
fooled to believe evolution based on the scant evidence that is
available.
4. Therefore everything scientists say should be challenged.

Check this out. Bloodletting has been documented and
taught for thousands of years, and found in medical
textbooks as recently as 1942. Obviosuly, going by
creationist/intelligent design standards, you must
completely reject medical science, and turn your back
on all modern treatments and drugs.

say, and are intentionally trying to deceive people...

not make them the truth. The point of scientific writing is to
communicate ideas. Sometimes scientists get into an idea that turns out
to be false. But the idea is eventually scrapped or modified (assuming
the system of peer review and debate does its job and doesnt get bogged
down by dogmatics). The point is that science is constantly revising
and updating its ideas. It is a dynamic field, not one stuck in the
14th century like some...

your citations?

Very few scientists were fooled, and scientists discovered the hoax.
The fact that you can be fooled about everything doesn't imply everyone
else is a gullible or stupid.
> 4. Therefore everything scientists say should be challenged.
Sure. Everything everyone says should be challenged. In nearly all
cases, scientists can back up their claims with hard evidence that can
be verified by other scientists (and often is). But you should
challenge them to cough up the data. On the other hand, in essentially
all cases your claims don't even need to be challenged because they are
ridiculous on their face.

If you want to get technical here, science wasn't fooled.
There was never a time when Piltdown Man wasn't
challenged.
If anything, Piltdown Man is a example yielding to
authority, rather than facts. Position and social
ranking carried too much weight. If the right person or
right institution said something, it was accepted.
Let's get real here. It's not like scientist all over the world
examined the Piltdown remains and were fooled. All but
a tiny fraction had only reports to go by. Even that much
was enough to convince a great many people AT THAT
TIME that something wasn't right.
If anything, the parallels to the Piltdown Man case could
today be found in political & religious based
creationsim/intelligent design groups, and not science.

Peer review is a fraud. Creationist have tried to submit items for
review, and somehow editors decide to short-circuit the normal process
by not allowing the review process to take place.
That's fraud. There is no peer review, in these cases, for
creationists.

Since there is a great deal of evidence of evolution, "scant" evidence is
not an issue. Scientists accept evolution due to the overwheming amount of
evidence, not due to "scant" evidence.

Yes, and unlike you, scientists have evidence to back up their statements.

Which items have creationists submitted for peer review?

Creationists don't submit to peer review, so they are "censoring"

There is no pile of papers in the back room waiting to be published.
There are no papers. Behe admitted under oath in the Dover trial that
no research has been done. The Templeton Foundation offered to fund a
study, but there were no takers.
There are no ID predictions made; there is no theory to make them.
Therefore, nothing to research. The esrtwhile researchers knew this,
which is why the money was turned down.

Well that is a conclusion not based on evidence. So far, in spite of
your claims, we are able to verify that only one textbook contained a
reference to Piltdown Man. As it is unlikely that that particular text
book had a print run numbering over two million, your conclusion is
unwarranted.

It seems to me that the contention was made that you should provide
evidence to support your claim that millions of texts were produced
which mentioned Piltdown Man (as a hominid fossil, not as a hoax - to
claim the latter within your count would be dishonest on your part).
Other people have given estimates based on the number of titles
published in the field and the size of print runs which suggest that
millions is an exaggeration.

One would have thought that with all the time you've spent participating
in talk.origins you would have read enough to know that to describe the
evidence for common descent with modification through the agency of
natural selection and other processes as scant is a mischaracterisation
of the evidence.
Given that there are literally billions of observations in support of
common descent, it would seem more appropriate to describe the evidence
as voluminous, rather than scan.
However you may have actually learnt something - you're now only
expressing skeptopathy, rather than claiming that Piltdown Man deceived
people into accepting the factuality of evolution.

No, it is exactly the point. It was always considered an anomaly by

unexplained. Nowadays only buffoons fixate on it.

That's just a flat-out lie. Anyone submitting a paper or journal
article to a conference or journal will receive editorial review for
topic and peer review for content if the topic is relevant to the
conference or journal. When a conference, conference session or
journal is oversubscribed, abstracts are reviewed and chosen on merit.
If creationists can't get published, it's their own fault for
submitting lousy abstracts or lousy work. Period.

How do you know that there were thousands of copies at most? It seems
likely to me that McCoy might be right on this one. After Eoanthropus
was accepted a valid hominid from 1918 to 1953. That's 35 years of
textbooks. It probably would have been mentioned in many zoology and
paleontology texts, and definitely in anthropology texts in Europe,
England, and America. It also probably appeared in a fair number of
general science texts. So it is certainly plausible that it appeared
in "millions of texts" and just as plausible that it appeared in some
tens or hundreds of thousands of texts. (That's copies of course, not
editions.)
The trouble is that nobody knows; for the most part texts from 50-90
years ago simply aren't available in any convenient place. It might
be interesting to do a literature search in some of the larger
university libraries. Why don't you take five years off and do the
research? Get back to us in 2011.

Thank you McClueless. Nice to see you find something that proves you
wrong.
[quote]
Reed Cartwright responds to a letter from a creationist. I don't have
anything to add to it, except on one item in the letter:
"I don’t have access to high school textbooks from 1912-1953, but I
can imagine Piltdown Man, which overly eager scientists of the period
tried to use as a “proof” of the much vaunted “theory of evolution,”
was included in them."
Hey, he may not have any textbooks from those days, but I do!* I have
a book titled College Zoology, by Robert W. Hegner, from the year
1933. It does mention Piltdown among other fossils, and places it on a
diagram of the primate family tree between Heidelberg Man and
Neandertal. I also have one called Biology of the Vertebrates, by
Herbert E. Walter, from 1939. It devotes a couple of paragraphs to
Piltdown, but concludes that "much uncertainty and controversy still
surround the ancient woman of Piltdown Common."
The first book was 713 pages; the second, 882. Piltdown was definitely
not a big piece of the story, but were merely briefly mentioned,
apparently more for the sake of being complete than because it was
important, and the Walter text even mentions the dubious nature of the
fossil.
Reed is right that the Piltdown hoax had relatively little impact on
our understanding of the mechanisms of evolution, or even of our
understanding of the history of the human lineage; even in its prime,
Piltdown was considered something of a peculiar outlier, and was not a
major influence on schoolkids. It certainly wasn't used as "proof" of
evolution! What it really is now is evidence that science has a
process for weeding out bad data, a process that is sometimes slower
than we'd like, but that does work; creationism lacks such a
mechanism, and what they'd really like to do is subvert a successful
scientific process.
Maybe they should bring up Piltdown more—it's instructive. Scientists,
when they finally took a close look at it, saw that it was garbage,
announced it, and threw it out. Scientists have also taken a close
look at intelligent design creationism, seen that it was garbage, and
have thrown it out. I can't see anyone arguing that we ought to
resurrect the Piltdown fraud, so why should we revisit Paley?
There's also another lesson here: creationists "imagine" a scenario
that fits their preconceptions, but don't bother to check whether it
is accurate; scientists go to the source and report their
observations.
*Not because I've been using them since the 1930s, but because I just
like old books, OK?
[end quote]
So McClueless, there you have it "Reed is right that the Piltdown hoax
had relatively little impact on our understanding of the mechanisms of
evolution, or even of our understanding of the history of the human
lineage; even in its prime, Piltdown was considered something of a
peculiar outlier, and was not a major influence on schoolkids."

>So then, there were millions of textbooks made.
No McClueless. I've only tracked the first title at the moment,
published in New York by Macmillian Company 1924. Ran to 4 editions
(last one in 1937) total print run 18,000 copies - not a best seller.
I've asked for someone to check if the first edition had Piltdown Man.
Since most of his other books were on "Invertebrate zoology" they
would not have mentioned PDM.
So, nothing like the "millions" you need and hardly a promtion of
Piltdown Man as major evidence for the ToE.
Care to try again McClueless or will you now admit you are wrong?

If they follow the scientific method, which includes attempting to
falsify your own hypothesis, then they should get published. Of course,
the journals are private enterprises, and I'm sure you would not
propose telling the free press what they should and should not publish.

Nothing, as far as I can tell, it's just the list of books used as

http://www.christian-thinktank.com/bookabs.html. I really can't think
of why someone would confuse this with the super secret list of
rejected creationist papers. It does, though, in fact prove that

Did you even bother to read this reference of yours? I mean for
comprehension!
Among other things, it clearly states:
[The book *Biology of Vertebrates*] devotes a couple of
paragraphs to Piltdown, but concludes that "much
uncertainty and controversy still surround the ancient
woman of Piltdown Common."
About the other book (College Zoology) it states:
Piltdown was definitely not a big piece of the story, but
were merely briefly mentioned, apparently more for the
sake of being complete than because it was important
Now, out of a combined total of 1,595 pages, how many actually even
contained information about Piltdown man? Based on your own source,
only one chart and a few paragraphs, and that includes information
about it's dubious nature.
This is clearly not the slam dunk you should be looking for if you
still dishonestly contend that scientists were tricked into believing
the ToE *because* of Piltdown man. In fact it indicates quite the
contrary, as is also true with other reference material of the day
that have also been pointed out to you already.

Leave it to you to attempt to claim victory when you have been so
clearly defeated on the pertinent points that are more directly
related to your nonsense about Piltdown man fooling so many scientists
of today into believing in the ToE.

Irrelevant to whether or not such textbooks existed, yes, but not to
the significance (or lack thereof) of the find.
>3. The point is that scientists and textbook companies were fooled.
The only real fool here is you. Yes they were fooled into accepting
the existence of Piltdown man to one degree or another but since it
NEVER played any real role in making the case for common descent and
descent through modification, this has little, if anything, to do with
invalidating the actual case for the ToE.
>If scientists can be fooled about Piltdown Man, then scientists can be

And I suppose that in being so fooled, that automatically erases the
following lines of evidence which has been proven to be far more
robust and on point to the topic at hand:
- Differing collections of flora and fauna during differing eras and
epochs.
- A complex fossil record that strongly supporting the concept
of both descent through modification and common descent.
- Species distribution over time, combined with continental
drift, that also compliments nicely the overall case for the ToE.
- The existence of nested hierarchies.
- The existence of homologies, vestigial structures, and
atavisms and the fact that they compliment nested
hierarchies so nicely.
- DNA and genetic studies that also so nicely compliment
nested hierarchies and the ToE overall, including shared
genetic anomalies that can best be explained by common
descent.
- Behavioral studies that shows, among other things, that the
difference between clearly relates species such as us and our
fellow apes is more a matter of degree.
>4. Therefore everything scientists say should be challenged.
Yes, but rationally and not by some raving religious fanatic such as
yourself who clearly doesn't have a clue.

"millions of texts." You've made a decent start to showing that there
were thousands, but (as Answers in Genesis will tell you) thousands are
not millions.

really over how many copies of how many texts mentioned Piltdown in
passing; it is whether Piltdown was used to "indoctrinate" an entire
generation of biologists into evolution, whether Piltdown was crucial
or even important evidence for common ancestry of humans and other
apes. If there was enough evidence to convince a reasonable biology
student of human evolution without mentioning Piltdown, if, indeed, the
picture of human evolution was clearer and simpler with Piltdown left
out, then the Piltdown fraud did not change history, or cause evolution
to dominate biological thought and research in place of creationism.

human and other primate genomes is the result of fake research, that
every fossil from "Lucy" to "Turkana Boy" and on is a forgery, that
trees of cytochrome-c and other proteins are all just made up, and so
on and on and on? Or is your point that if a single, trivial item of
evidence escapes serious study, that no one can be trusted to draw
reasonable conclusions based on the evidence that is seriously studied?

Are you suggesting

2) That the authors of all these books are creationists?

Well I am glad that McCultist has found what he believes to be his
first and only example of a science text book that includes "Piltdown
Man." It is one of the very few times he can axctually tell himself he
didn't lies utterly and completely--- it might actually encourage him
to lie a tiny bit less in the future.... some day.

That's funny. We are supposed to believe that a list of titles are
papers that have been "rejected" out of bias by scientists..... with no
evidence at all they were even submitted to any science journal.
Creationists really do believe everyone is as gulloible as they are.

Because he said so. Surely, if you were a Creationist, that would be

Considering how greedily creationists accept all kinds of BS (re. *all
evidence* for creation), we know they don't even need to be fooled, they
already are fools.
> 4. Therefore everything scientists say should be challenged.

Are scientists a peculiar brand of human being, or are they just a
collection of individuals with personal traits just like McCoy and anybody
else on this planet? Why this special precaution against scientists,
shouldn't we challenge all that we hear regardless of source? And you in
particular seems to be a most unreliable source. I have been watching your
postings here for a long time, and they are among the worst nonsense to be
found. Just your bold statement about the 'scant evidence' for evolution.
Where are you, where have you been? Why not stop the nonsense of bothering
with how many copies of articles and stuff about Piltdown, and spend the
time on something useful instead, like learning what you obviously know
very little about?
Everything McCoy says about science and scientists is in fact even more
applicable to himself than to science. Another example of the mote vs. beam
syndrome.
You are wasting your own time as well as others. And it isn't getting you
nowhere - nobody can learn anything from you. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
You are empty, ignorant, unknowledgeable, uninterested in learning anything.
You are standing still, stuck in your own preconceived notions, unable to
learn anything new. You are the kind of person who knows the truth already,
one whose statements by definition all are true and not to be contested.
What kind of person you really are, at home and by yourself I really don't
know, but the character you present her on t.o. is not someone I think I
could respect.
But here is something real for you to do. Since you are so obsessed with
Piltdown, don't you think it migh be a great project for you to compile some
comprehensive documentation of literature on the subject? Articles in
scientific journals, books and relevant stuff? For books, author(s),
publisher/publishing data, # of copies printed. Take England first, since
that is where it all started, then maybe USA, before perhaps the rest of the
world later.
We need that kind of material in order to facilitate a meaningful debate on
the
subject. Not that it really matters, do anyone besides yourself
really care? There there are so many much more interesting and relevant
subjects to discuss. Maybe when all else has been said and done, we may
return to Piltdown man another hundred years from now.
But since you also are referring to 'scant evidence' for evolution, one may
wonder where you have been the past fifty years. Ever visit a library,
borrowing or buying any relevant books? (Science books, that is, not
creationist crap.)
Are you familiar with subject like the K-T event, and the role ferns play in
that connection? Do you know anything about Axolotl and the role iodine
plays for some intriguing property of that species?
Do you know anything about coccoliths and their relation to chalk?
Milankowich cycles? Scientists like George H.F. Nuttall, Vincent Sarich,
Wilson, Goodman and their work? The biological clock? Circumpolar species
(uncertain about proper term.) How themeasured genetic and
chronological separation between Old Word and New World monkeys correlate
with the
timing of the physical separation between the Old World an New World
continents?
You see, such details are important in and by themselves, because if they
were not what they are, they would be a problem for evolutionary theory. As
it is, they confirm the theory. Why is it that continued research ever since
Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace presented their theory always reinforce
the theory, and never produce evidence against the theory? It takes just one
single discovery to falsify the theory, while to this very date the only
opposition to the theory is creationism's, Piltdownism's and such.
Piltdown, pathetic.

Evolutionists have taken pains to decry creationism and try to thwart
legislation. Numerous books have been written against creationists.
Evolutionists are hate peddlers and work together. So if you want to

Yes, 'scientists' who just so happen to have come from a variety of
religious disciplines have taken pains to protect scientific
credibility and independence from religious fanatics who would corrupt
science to further their own personal religious viewpoints. This is
called *bias* and is indeed something that all scientists should help
'thwart'.
>Numerous books have been written against creationists.
Yes, there is plenty of grist for the mill. Imagine books being
written about something for which there is plenty of interest in. Will
wonders never cease.
>Evolutionists are hate peddlers and work together.
Many *real* scientists probably do not care much for those who would
corrupt something that they are so deeply interested in so it isn't a
bit surprising that some will come together to fight for a common
cause.
>So if you want to use "conspiracy" go for it.
It is the creationist who uses all means, fair of foul, to peddle his
lies, even to the point of attempting to legislate his failed ideas
into the educational curriculum.

Did you even bother to read what these textbooks actually had to say
about Piltdown man? Obviously you have a serious reading
comprehension problem, both with your own cites and the question that
was asked above.
The challenge was to provide a textbook that backs your oft' repeated
claim (or should that be 'lie') that scientists were somehow tricked
into believing the ToE was true *because* of the evidence Piltdown man
supposedly provided, NOT references that clearly painted Piltdown man
as trivial at best and even doubtful.
As I posted earlier regarding your own cite:
Among other things, it clearly states:
[The book *Biology of Vertebrates*] devotes a couple of
paragraphs to Piltdown, but concludes that "much
uncertainty and controversy still surround the ancient
woman of Piltdown Common."
About the other book (College Zoology) it states:
Piltdown was definitely not a big piece of the story, but
were merely briefly mentioned, apparently more for the
sake of being complete than because it was important
Now, out of a combined total of 1,595 pages, how many actually even
contained information about Piltdown man? Based on your own source,
only one chart and a few paragraphs, and that includes information
about it's dubious nature.
Now weren't you the one bitching earlier about people not responding
to your questions or only responding to "a statement that is EASY to
answer"? Is this rank hypocrisy on your part? Do you not answer such
questions yourself because your simplistic mind is so brainwashed that
it either cannot or will not honestly deal with anything that runs
contrary to your religious dogma?
As you yourself stated, Why is that? why are you so evasive?

Articles on trueorigin.org (which I presume is the web site your mean -
trueorigins.com only offers me things like "Ringtones- Evolution") are
not scientific papers. Furthermore, none have been submitted for peer
review in any academic journal.
Here's my response to one posting of a sample from "true"origin.org:
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.origins/msg/7086f053c929e603?dmode=source
Note that the site offers no creationist theory, is full of
distortions, misrepresentation and falsehoods, and contains nothing
which can be remotely suitable for submission to any academic journal.
So, to repeat the question:
Which items have creationists submitted for peer review?

I know. four and a half months and you still can't find a textbook to

Actually, the "evolutionists" took the creationists to court so that
existing legislation in respect of science teaching in schools should
be enforced.
In what way is making sure that the law is enforced thwarting
legislation?
> Numerous books have been written against creationists.
Not many.
> Evolutionists are hate peddlers and work together.
Could you give us a single instance of an "evolutionist" web site which
"peddles" hate?
I can show you numerous instances of creationist sites which do.
As for "working together": I suggest that you attend an academic
conference on some aspect of evolutionary biology. You may find it
enlightening.
> So if you want to
> use "conspiracy" go for it.
So let's get this straight:
Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of evolutionary scientists in dozens
of different countries, speaking numerous different languages, working
in universities, museums, commercial enterprises, or using their own
resources are engaged in a massive conspiracy to decieve the public
about the facts of evolution.
Could you suggest how such a conspiracy is organised? I've helped to
organise a small conference attended by about 150 "evolutionists", and
that was hard work (the term "herding cats" springs to mind). What
supergenius is organising the whole international community of
"evolutionists" in such a way that none has yet broken ranks?

Ernest is of course right. But McCoy's problem seems to be (besides
skeptopathy) that he uses the Piltdown affair as the starting point of a
line of reasoning that runs "'scientists can be fooled into believing',
therefore the theory of evolution rests just on what scientists believe,
and not on testable and verifiable facts and findings."
How sound is McCoy's theory of how science works? Since McCoy
hardly is anybody's peer, it isn't even possible to say he's been peer
reveiwed and rejected by the people here on t.o. But what would t.o.
be without the crackpots?
But reality is that the Piltdown affair demonstrates that when the
scientific process is allowed to run its course, sound conclusions will me
made. With being fooled hardly being typical of how science works.
On the contrary; science is characterized by lots of work. Facts are dug
out, studied, measured, analysed, interpreted, published - and peer reviewed
- and remain accessible for anyone to examine and to criticize - in short,
the scientific process is not - what McCoy so glibly asserts - simply just
believing anything anyone says if he likes it.
How well do McCoy himself research a subject before he launces his
skeptopathic conclusions, with hardly any room for skepticism?(!) Seems to
me he is just too easily fooled, and inaccessible for correction.
Doesn't the case of cold fusion show just how it works?
BTW, has McCoy ever shown any ability or interest in discussing any of the
facts on which evolutionary theory rests?
