Child abuse?

Dear Editor,

Thank you for publishing my letters. They may be the only opportunity for some people to learn the truth about the metaphysical research project of evolution.

Especially the children. There have been some letters submitted to your column by writers (whose whereabouts are unknown) who suggest that I am a buffoon or ignorant because I tell the truth. If I am lying, simply prove it.

Some teachers preach evolution in the schools as a fact. But we can't blame them, can we? After all, they are only "following orders." The people responsible for evolution being taught in our schools should be charged with child abuse.

In 1912, Arthur Smith Woodward, director of the Natural History Museum of London, and Charles Dawson, physician and amateur paleontologist, discovered in a gravel pit in Piltdown, in Sussex, England, a skull which appeared quire human, and a jawbone. The jawbone appeared quite "apelike" except it did not have the large ape teeth that an ape jaw should have. It was quite brown looking, obviously very old, and it was hailed as "The Dawn Man," and "Premier Missing Link" for 40 years. Millions of students looked at pictures of the reconstruction of the "Dawn Man." His picture adorned every museum of the world. When the flouride test was discovered around 1952, the skull and jaw were tested.

It was discovered that the skull was not 500,000 years old as reported, but was only 2,000 years old. The jaw was only several dozens of years old, and under microscopic examination, it was discovered that the teeth were filed down carefully to resemble human teeth, and the whole thing had been stained with iron salts and bichromate to make it appear very old.

It had been planted to be found (they assumed, by Dr. Dawson, who became famous), a complete fraud.

The preceding facts are from a cassette tape titles "Evolution Bloopers and Blunders" by Dr. D. James Kennedy. I don't imagine that there was as much publicity about the fraud as was the propaganda surrounding the discovery 40 years earlier. Adolph Hitler believed in "Piltdown Man," hook, line and singer.

"Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" (Galatians 4:16).

Sincerely,

George R. Anderson,
