As a matter of practice, a fraud is much more likely to succeed if it appears to be validated by an authority. In general, one does not expect a professional in a field to concoct a hoax. Experience teaches that this expectation is not always met. We have all seen the iconic image like the one above and simply assumedthat there is solid scientific evidence to support it by eminent scientists.
We assumed there existed full and complete skeletons that anthropologists, paleontologists, etc had used to create the sketches that they presented to the world as fact. This is not the case. Genuine science is objective and invites scrutiny and investigation. It does not ridicule the critics of its conclusions, but instead silences their criticisms by setting forth the evidence from which those conclusions are drawn.
Genuine science seeks the truth that explains the observed evidence. It does not prejudice the investigation by ruling out, from the start, hypotheses that may very well provide the best explanation for the observed evidence. Genuine science rejects any hypothesis that consistently fails to fit observed scientific evidence. It does not persistently assume that the fault lies in the evidence rather than in the hypothesis itself.
On all three counts, the commonly-accepted "Theory of Evolution" fails the test of being scientific.(by Mitch Cervinka, M.A. Mathematics)
