Question then is: when was it done and by whom?

I thought science was not to be refuted.

The science is settled!!!!

Therefore, you can ask no more questions on it.

Mongolarachne chaoyangensis no longer exists

So, a new spider has been sitting there for over a hundred million years waiting to be discovered then, poof, goes extinct today in this climate crisis. It doesn't pay to be a denier.

Great Flaming Wolf Spiders!!!

Fraud? In science? That can’t be. Science and scientists are 100% accurate all the time and there is no controversy when their papers are “peer reviewed.” I know because politicians and Hollywood celebrities told me so.

The Proliferation of Fake Chinese Fossils

Exposing the Fraud of Unscrupulous Fossil Dealers and their Magnificent-Looking Fossils

Perhaps no other source for fake fossils has posed such a problem as exists today with fossils from China. We must preface this section to say the fake Chinese fossil market is becoming increasingly sophisticated and changing so rapidly that any fossil now originating in China should be approached with caution. This section deals with only the tip of a massive and growing "iceberg".

Each year, thousands of trusting buyers are duped by both inexpensive and very expensive, highly realistic fakes. More troubling, even scientists have fallen prey to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Chinese fake fossil artists. In 1999, highly recognized scientists along with National Geographic magazine presented an amazing new discovery of a feathered dinosaur discovered in the Liaoning Province of China. The bird with a dinosaur's tail was named ARCHAEORAPTOR. A year later, it was found to be a clever fake.

Piltdown Spider.

Science needs evolution to be true whether they have to fake it or not.

[CIB-173RDABN]

When I was young and ignorant I believed in science. Then I discovered it was a religion. Once DOGMA is established the true believers will fight to the death (figuratively) defending it.

The “open mind” of some scientist are steel traps, once closed never to be pried open with new information.

As the main stream media destroyed themselves over defending Democrats and demonizing President Trump, scientist are destroying themselves over “man made climate change”.

So when I read a story like this I get a chuckle over the gullibility of some scientist.

(Science and research is good it is just I know longer trust them to be honest.)

[Deplorable American1776]

And they want us to believe Global Warming...

It might be fake, but it still proves Global Warming is real.

Here's a good scientific fraud story involving a scientist using a black marker. But he was caught.
