Evolution hoax was created by Karl Marx. Fossils are created by God.

Apparently there are ten Archaeopteryx fossils.

Yes, and the reason why they created fake fossil is that there are no other transitional fossils to prove the theory of evilution.

Dinosaurs bones/fossils are also fake. They create them out of a mould and pretend to find them. :D

Mises talks about this at length in Human Action.

Business cycles were caused in early human history by dinosaurs who attacked entrepenuers.    Every few years, dinos would go crazy and interupt the efficiency of markets.  Especially big pterodactyls and raptors.  And they would need to be killed.  Capitalism was created when humans decided that they needed to ask G-d to drown the dinosaurs in a massive flood in order to assure steady growth.  He did this, showing his love of both capitalism and humanity.  Those bones stand as testament.

The Regression theorem is a memetic equivalent of the Theory of Evolution. To say that the former precludes the free emergence of fiat currencies makes no more sense that to hold that the latter precludes the natural emergence of multicellular organisms.

Let's ask Kent Hovind, I hear he is an expert in these matters.

It's kind of funny to see statheists make fun of Hovind for tax evasion; it puts me in a position where I have to defend him.

An uncomfortable position to be in.

Well, we do know the 1997 Ethiopian fossils were planted by the Knights Templar.
