[[Image:Paul Revere.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Paul Revere]]
'''Paul Revere''' (1734-1818) was a silversmith in colonial America who was very active in [[Boston]]-area revolutionary groups such as the [[Sons of Liberty]]. He is famous for riding from Boston to Lexington, [[Massachusetts]] with [[William Dawes]] on the night of April 18, 1775 to warn the [[minutemen]] that [[British]] troops led by General Thomas Gage were invading. Revere was captured before he could reach [[Concord]], but managed to escape. His midnight ride was immortalized by a poem by [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]].<ref>[http://darter.ocps.net/classroom/revolution/revere.htm Paul Revere]</ref> <ref>[http://www.paulreverehouse.org/ride/real.html The Midnight Ride]</ref>

'''Iowa''' is located in the Midwestern region of the [[United States]] and on December 28th, 1846 became the twenty-ninth state to enter into the union. During the [[American Civil War]] Iowa supported the United States. The capital of Iowa is [[Des Moines]] which is also its largest city. The current governor of Iowa is Chet Culver, [[Democrat]].

The [[Iowa Caucus]] is the first primary contest for [[Democratic]] and [[Republican]] [[president]]ial candidates. That makes it an important campaigning spot for prospective candidates.

On Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2002, the Iowa legislature passed an 'English-Only' bill with the effect of making English the state's only official language. The names of Des Moines, Dubuque, and Cerro Gordo counties were unaffected.

On April 3, 2009, in a unanimous decision, the Iowa state supreme court overturned a 10-year-old ban on same-sex marriage. The decision states, "“This approach does not disrespect or denigrate the religious views of many Iowans who may strongly believe in marriage as a dual-gender union, but considers, as we must, only the constitutional rights of all people, as expressed by the promise of equal protection for all.” The only way to overturn this decision is through an amendment to the state constitution, which would not be possible until 2012 at the earliest.<ref>The Des Moines Register, ''Unanimous ruling: Iowa marriage no longer limited to one man, one woman'', by JEFF ECKHOFF and GRANT SCHULTE, April 3, 2009 [http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20090403/NEWS/90403010]</ref>

The Cardiff Giant was one of many frauds perpetrated by promoters of the theory of evolution.

George Hull, a New York atheist, perpetrated the fraud after arguing with a Minister about a passage in Genesis that claimed there were 'giants' on Earth in biblical times. After creating the fake out of a block of Gypsum quarried in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Hull transported it to his cousin's farm where it was buried for a year. The two men charged 25¢ to view the fake.

Piltdown Man

2007-04-01T07:40:55Z

Major Billy:

The Piltdown Man was one of many frauds perpetrated by promoters of the theory of evolution. This particular fraud was taught to an entire generation of students worldwide from 1912 to 1953, when it was conclusively proven to be a hoax. The Piltdown Man was featured in the textbook at issue in the [[Scopes trial]] in Tennessee. Darwinists officially announced the Piltdown Man to be authentic and gave it a formal name: ''Eoanthropus dawsoni''. This name honored the person who claimed to have found it, Charles Dawson. It is worth noting that while the British scientific establishment largely supported the validity of Piltdown Man, this was not true in America and Europe, though it was taught in American schools.[http://www.bradburyac.mistral.co.uk/tenness5.html]

[[Image:piltdownman_quennell_1922.png|right|300px|"Piltdown Man", according to evolutionists in 1922.]]

Creationists believe that the Piltdown man was not an isolated incident of bad judgement by evolutionist and that the examples of the Nebraska Man, Java Man, Ocre Man, and Neanderthals can be cited. <ref>[http://www.nwcreation.net/evolutionfraud.html "Evolution Fraud"], Northwest Creation Network</ref> The Piltdown Man was actually a medieval skull combined with a lower jaw from an orangutan and teeth from a chimpanzee, which were then placed in a gravel pit in the village of Piltdown, England. The bones were stained with chromic acid and an iron solution, creating the crude appearance of an old age. The Piltdown Man was publicized as the "Missing Link" between man and ape-like species, which eluded (and still eludes) promoters of evolution. {{fact}}

As is customary among evolution promoters, the date assigned to the bones was never based on the bones at all, but rather were based on testing of older material found nearby. {{fact}} Like similar artifacts purporting to prove evolution today, there was no independent or public scrutiny of the actual materials.{{fact}}

Evidences of a greater complicity in the Piltdown Man fraud by promoters of the theory of evolution, beyond the original hoax perpetrators, come from the doubts expressed among evolutionists in rarely read publications while they continued to support Piltdown Man in public. For instance, in 1922, evolutionist William King Gregory stated in a highly technical book<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC03040525&id=EyF3qtMDRlgC&pg=RA2-PA351 ''The Origin and Evolution of the Human Dentition''], William King Gregory, 1922, p. 351.</ref> that as early as 1914 he had doubts, shared by colleagues, about whether the jaw and teeth were associated with the braincase. That same year, a book aimed at the popular market was depicting elaborate fabrications about the daily life of Piltdown Man, giving him an assortment of tools, a wife and child, and tigers to fight.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC02561355&id=L0sDgL6sPh4C&pg=RA1-PR51 ''Everyday Life in the Old Stone Age''], Charles Henry Bourne Quennell, 1922, p. 51.</ref> Yet the Piltdown Man continued to be taught children in school, as in the textbook at issue in the [[Scopes trial]].

IN 1950 it was shown by the fluorine method of relative dating that the Piltdown mandible and cranial bones were considerably younger geologically than the Lower and Middle Pleistocene fossils said to have been found at the same site.<ref>[http://www.clarku.edu/~piltdown/map_expose/radioactivedating_piltdown.html]

IN 1950 it was shown <ref>[http://www.clarku.edu/~piltdown/map_expose/radioactivedating_piltdown.html] by the fluorine method of relative dating that the Piltdown mandible and cranial bones were considerably younger geologically than the Lower and Middle Pleistocene fossils said to have been found at the same site.

Piltdown Man

2007-03-23T20:01:55Z

Major Billy:

The Piltdown Man was one of many frauds perpetrated by promoters of the theory of evolution. This particular fraud was taught to an entire generation of students worldwide from 1912 to 1953, when it was conclusively proven to be a hoax. The Piltdown Man was featured in the textbook at issue in the [[Scopes trial]] in Tennessee. Darwinists officially announced the Piltdown Man to be authentic and gave it a formal name: ''Eoanthropus dawsoni''. This name honored the person who claimed to have found it, Charles Dawson. It is worth noting that while the British scientific establishment largely supported the validity of Piltdown Man, this was not true in America and Europe. [http://www.bradburyac.mistral.co.uk/tenness5.html]

[[Image:piltdownman_quennell_1922.png|right|300px|"Piltdown Man", according to evolutionists in 1922.]]

Creationists believe that the Piltdown man was not an isolated incident of bad judgement by evolutionist and that the examples of the Nebraska Man, Java Man, Ocre Man, and Neanderthals can be cited. <ref>[http://www.nwcreation.net/evolutionfraud.html "Evolution Fraud"], Northwest Creation Network</ref> The Piltdown Man was actually a medieval skull combined with a lower jaw from an orangutan and teeth from a chimpanzee, which were then placed in a gravel pit in the village of Piltdown, England. The bones were stained with chromic acid and an iron solution, creating the crude appearance of an old age. The Piltdown Man was publicized as the "Missing Link" between man and ape-like species, which eluded (and still eludes) promoters of evolution. {{fact}}

As is customary among evolution promoters, the date assigned to the bones was never based on the bones at all, but rather were based on testing of older material found nearby. {{fact}} Like similar artifacts purporting to prove evolution today, there was no independent or public scrutiny of the actual materials.{{fact}}

Evidences of a greater complicity in the Piltdown Man fraud by promoters of the theory evolution, beyond the original hoax perpetrators, come from the doubts expressed among evolutionists in rarely read publications while they continued to support Piltdown Man in public. For instance, in 1922, evolutionist William King Gregory stated in a highly technical book<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC03040525&id=EyF3qtMDRlgC&pg=RA2-PA351 ''The Origin and Evolution of the Human Dentition''], William King Gregory, 1922, p. 351.</ref> that as early as 1914 he had doubts, shared by colleagues, about whether the jaw and teeth were associated with the braincase. That same year, a book aimed at the popular market was depicting elaborate fabrications about the daily life of Piltdown Man, giving him an assortment of tools, a wife and child, and tigers to fight.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC02561355&id=L0sDgL6sPh4C&pg=RA1-PR51 ''Everyday Life in the Old Stone Age''], Charles Henry Bourne Quennell, 1922, p. 51.</ref>

In 1912 primatologist and paleontologist William King Gregory wrote "It has been suspected by some that geologically the skull is not old at all; that they may even represent a deliberate hoax..."
