Giant Human Skeleton Remains and the Desire to Believe

Does this archeological "find" confirm the Bible that giants once roamed the earth?







Well, it's a hoax:

According to the creator this image was lifted from Worth1000, a Web site that hosts contests for digital artists. Created by an artist using the alias IronKite, the picture placed third in a 2002 competition that was titled "Archaeological Anomalies 2," which asked contestants to “create a hoax archaeological discovery.”

IronKite created the image in less than an hour and a half out of the remains of a mastadon. "I laugh myself silly when some guy claims to know someone who was there, or even goes so far as to claim that he or she was there when they found the skeleton and took the picture," IronKite said. "Sometimes people seem so desperate to believe in something that they lie to themselves, or exaggerate in order to make their own argument stronger." David Mikkelson of Snopes.com said such hoaxes succeed when they seem to confirm something people are already inclined to believe, such as a prejudice, political viewpoint, or religious belief.

This helps confirm what I have been saying about the will to believe, here.

Thanks to Ed Babinski for this story

Well, John, this is obviously a hoax. But I must admit that Onyate Man is still a real puzzler for the Darwinists.

John, you have to take zilch's link down. We scientists have been struggling for almost a decade to keep that thing hushed up, and he's ruining it!

If people see that evidence, evolution will fall like the pack of selfish lies it is and my career will be ruined! People will find out that we have been hiding the cure for cancer for over a century (which can be found in the lost parts of the Bible we've been hiding) and poisoning our kids with our so-called "vaccines" in order to make scads of money, which is why biomedical scientists are the richest people in the world. The global economy will all come crashing down! You MUST remove that link for the good of mankind!

Forget the Bible and those mythical giants!

This proves Big Foot is real and these pictures MUST be the fossil remains of his ancestors.

I plan to head up into the mountains to find Big Foot. Thanks for the proof.

shygetz- I'm sorry, but sometimes the truth just slips out. Even atheists feel the agenbite of inwit.

Thanks zilch - I would never have known the truth without your link. I must go spread the word - or not.

Just in case anyone is fooled, Ed Babinski tells me that New Mexicans for Science and Reason created the "onyate man" as a deliberate hoax just to show creationists what evidence against evolution would look like if it were ever found: see here.

John, you are a party-pooper.
