Theory of Evolution disproved? (satire)

In summary, a non-profit organization called New Mexicans for Science and Reason (NMSR) has posted a satirical article about a perfectly preserved hominid skeleton found in the mouth of a dinosaur. The article is a spoof to promote science and critical thinking. However, a creationist speaker named Kent Hovind fell for the prank and promoted it as evidence of humans living with dinosaurs, much to the amusement of NMSR.

I like the length they went to to make up a true-looking story. Love the perfectly clean black dinosaur skeleton, ha ha.

Yes, these fruitcakes will go to any lengths to preserve their belief in nonsense.

I already knew evolution was a lie - my grandparents weren't monkeys!

Pretty funny stuff. Apparently this is a pro science organization called New Mexicans for Science and Reason (NMSR). The article is just a satire.
NMSR is a non-profit group with the goals of promoting science, the scientific method, rational thinking, and critical examination of dubious or extraordinary claims.
Another great page from their web site:

The P. T. Barnum "One Born Every Minute" Award goes to "Dr. Dino" himself, creationist speaker Kent Hovind, who on May 7th, 1999, in a packed room in Philadelphia, urged his audience to study convincing new evidence of humans living with dinosaurs. Hovind's evidence, a website at www.darwindisproved.com, turned out to be the annual NMSR April Fool's prank

Related to Theory of Evolution disproved? (satire)

1. Is the Theory of Evolution really disproved?

No, the Theory of Evolution is one of the most well-supported and accepted scientific theories. It has withstood numerous challenges and continues to be the foundation of modern biology.

2. What evidence do you have to prove that the Theory of Evolution is false?

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that the Theory of Evolution is false. On the contrary, there is overwhelming evidence from multiple fields of science, including genetics, paleontology, and embryology, that supports the theory.

3. If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

This is a common misconception about evolution. Humans did not evolve from modern apes; rather, humans and modern apes share a common ancestor. Over time, different species evolved and branched off from this common ancestor, resulting in the diversity of species we see today.

4. How can something as complex as the human eye evolve by chance?

Evolution is not a random process; it is driven by natural selection, which favors traits that increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction. The human eye, while complex, has evolved gradually over millions of years through small, beneficial changes that gave our ancestors a survival advantage.

5. If evolution is true, why do we not see transitional fossils?

In fact, we have discovered numerous transitional fossils that provide evidence for the gradual evolution of species. However, the fossil record is incomplete, and not all species leave behind fossils. Additionally, the process of fossilization is rare, making it even more challenging to find transitional fossils.
