198 The Origin of Birds and Flight

In a statement to the newspaper USA Today, Olson said: “The prob-
lem is, at some point the fossil was known by Geographic to be a fake,
and that information was not revealed.” 161
In short, despite the realization that the fossil it portrayed to the
entire world as evidence of evolution was a fake, National Geographic
continued to portray it as evidence of evolution.
This deception exhibited by National Geographic is by no means the
first carried out in the name of evolution. Ever since the theory was first
proposed, a great many fabrications have been perpetrated to support
the theory.
The German biologist Ernst Haeckel produced false embryo draw-
ings in order to support Darwinism. British evolutionists mounted an
orangutan jaw onto a human skull and displayed this for some 40 years
at the Natural History Museum as “Piltdown Man—the Greatest Proof
of Evolution.”
American evolutionists declared a single pig’s tooth to have come
from Nebraska Man. All over the world, primitive creatures or ape-men
that never existed have been depicted through illustrations or models
billed as “reconstructions.”
In light of all this, if Archaeoraptor is a fabrication, what about the
other “dino-bird” fossils?
Following are extracts from an
interview with Alan Feduccia
published in the February 2003 edition
of Discover magazine. Despite being
an evolutionist, Feduccia states that
the fossils discovered are not evidence
of evolution and some people have
resorted to fabrication:
Discover: Some recent dinosaur fossils
from China have a downy, featherlike
covering. Doesn’t that prove a link
Professor Alan Feduccia between dinosaurs and birds?
