→Removed paragraph: The evidence is against a forgery
:: Philip, many people (including books on the topic) consider the fossils to be fakes. Hoyle is the best [[British]] scientist of the 20th century, and he considered it a fake also. The evidence speaks for itself in suggesting forgery, just as other fossils (e.g., the bird-dinosaur National Geographic fossil) are fakes. You don't really think that an "Archaeopteryx" existed only in pro-evolution parts of England in Germany, do you??? That's the only source of these unusual "fossils".--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:52, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

::: I would be interested in know who these "many people" and book are, because I know of very few. I agree that the late Fred Hoyle is not someone to be ignored, but I do believe that he was something of a loner on this issue (as he was on a number of issues), and the evidence has been reexamined and not just doesn't support, but actually refutes, his claims of forgery. To quote from Dr. Jonathan Sarfati (whom you reference in your changes) referring to Dr. Menton whom you quote, he "totally reject[s] the charge of forgery. Dr Menton points out that the Archaeopteryx bones have tiny bumps where the feathers were attached to the bones by ligaments. This was unexpected, so impossible to attribute to a forgery. So it is simply wrong to say that the feathers are just imprints added to a dino skeleton.". That is quoted from [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3653/ here], and that article includes several other reasons for rejecting the claim of forgery. (Incidentally, it also refers to the brain scans of ''Archaeopteryx''.)
::: Many fossils are only found in particular locations around the world. The fact that the ''Archaeopteryx'' fossils are only found in two parts of Europe is not all that unusual.
