Put Faith In God, Not “Missing Link”

A rubber gorilla suit. Lost somewhere between the Olympics, hurricanes, and political conventions was the story out of Georgia about the latest Bigfoot hoax. When the hoax was finally uncovered, it was probably one of the least imaginative deceptions of all time.

Two men claimed to have found the body of a Bigfoot and hauled it away while other Bigfoots watched from a distance. The men placed the body in a chest freezer and filled it with water to create a giant Bigfoot ice cube. After holding a news conference to announce their discovery, they submitted DNA for testing. The DNA was proven to be from an opossum. Regardless, an eager Bigfoot researcher paid an undisclosed sum of money for the freezer and its contents. When the ice melted, the large object inside was nothing more than a gorilla suit mingled with road kill. As elaborate hoaxes go, this one was not so elaborate. Nevertheless, intelligent, educated people got caught up in the enthusiasm and wanted so badly for this to be genuine that they fell for it, hook, line, and gorilla suit.

This wasn’t the first attempt at producing a missing link between modern day humans and our so-called Neanderthal ancestors. Java man, Nebraska man, Piltdown man, and a whole list of others have bypassed normal scrutiny in a desperate effort to prove the theory of evolution. The few specimens that are still considered to be legitimate were fabricated from bone fragments and teeth which, given enough artistic license, could become anything one wished. That’s why a living remnant from a bygone era such as Bigfoot is the Holy Grail for evolutionists.
