Disgraced Anthropologist Drinks 40,000-Year-Old Milk
(2005-02-19) — A disgraced German anthropology professor, who pretended to use carbon dating to establish a link between Neanderthals and modern man, told reporters today that he regularly drinks 40,000-year-old milk and drives a Porsche Carrera made in 736 BC.
Frankfurt Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten resigned this week from a 30-year career as one of the world’s leading anthropologists, when a panel concluded his carbon dating of human bones was incorrect by thousands of years.
The inquiry found that one skull, which Mr. Protsch claimed came from a 27,400-year-old human fossil, was actually still attached to the living body of a departmental colleague.
“He’s much older than he looks,” said Mr. Protsch. “My data shows that he may be the missing link between Piltdown man and today’s homo sapiens.”
A spokesman for the Anthropology Professionals Exploration Society said, “the disclosure that one of our most-trusted anthropologists was a total fraud, and his carbon dating a cheap trick, does nothing to diminish the credibility of the profession or the scientific consensus that modern man descended, through mutation, from apes.”

Evolution Fraud
While, in all honesty, I do not get too worked up about Evolution (I stick to the belief that God is the creator, and how he caused it to happen is his business, not mine), it seems that Evolution continues to be supported by a lot of fraud.
