So the fact that the scientific community covered up a hoax for 40 years is fine with you. No red flags. Lets agree to disagree then.
sci community also uncovered & corrected it. you said solution is to, "Do your own research." I've given you a way to do that & you've avoided it in favor of weaker social arguments.
The fossil records can be faked and the mainstream scientific community will not easily admit to this, as demonstrated. Can you refer me to a experiment that demonstrates this?
