   Admit... what?  That they dig were it's convenient to dig, where they   
   believe they can find fossils?   
      
   Of course they do.   
      
   All fossil hunters do this. But in the example of dinosaurs it's not   
   as critical as it is with HUMAN evolution, because the dinosaur hunters   
   are finding dinosaurs!  The idiots faking it and calling it science   
   usually have no way what so ever to tell WHAT is a human ancestor and   
   what isn't, but they pretend that they can and do....   
      
   You can redeem yourself, somewhat, by identifying precisely what you're   
   pretending is wrong, and explaining WHY.   
      
   I'm asking too much, I know.
