So first we disprove their little liberal evolution theory on the basis of unsatisfactory evidence, and suddenly POOF, they have more fossils which just happen to perfectly fit into the huge holes in their theories. You have to be pretty naive for fall for such a simpleminded trick!
['SIMPLEMINDED? And it is not simpleminded to believe in such archaic fables such as the existence of god which were believed to exist by the Mesopotamians, the inhabitants of one of the Earth's FIRST CIVILIZATIONS, thousands of years ago? SIMPLEMINDED! ha!']
You choose to mock God but yet you have no problem believing in such idiotic monstrosities as diplodocus or stegosaurus or archeopterix. I mean, come on! If you're going to fool people, at least TRY to be convincing. Evolution theory is simply laughable.

One Creationist says dinosaurs walked along with humans, and citing the bible and saying:"Look, there are dinos in the bible, so the bible must be correct!", the next one thinks dinosaur bones are made up. Man, they should agree on one version first!
"There is nothing sadder in this world than the waste of human potential. The purpose of evolution is to raise us out of the mud, not have us grovelling in it."

<< P.S. I don't think a person stupid enough to think like that would be capable of spelling "archeopterix." >>
---------------------
Correct spelling is "archaeopteryx," so I'd say he's right about where one would expect in his attempt on it. (His spelling looks like it should be a character in the Asterix the Gaul comic books.)
I'll admit, I wasn't sure if this was a troll or not, and the name strongly suggests that possibility, but the poster is so consistent without using pure hysteria that I think he may be genuine, intending the handle to be a sort of ironic badge of honor. Poe's law does make it tough to tell, though.

Hey, do you guys have any more god-bones in the stockroom?
Nope, sorry, we're fresh out.
As others said, it seems incredible, but some people do hold such beliefs and make such claims, out of ignorance and projection.
Apologetic traditions mine what they can interpret in a convenient way and deny reality constantly. They may as well believe that science also does, even though the scientific method and evidence-based approach makes a huge difference. They argue about "the missing link" yet there is overwhelming evidence and a growing number of found transitional fossils.
They indeed also entertain conspiracy theories, like that it must be fraudulent, related to projection. They will also gladly mine a few examples of errors or fraud, to generalize everything as such with fraudulent misrepresentation. For instance, biology textbook hand drawings of embryos do not exactly fit pictures? Embryology must all be a fraud and the evidence it provides for evolution can be discarded. A particular specimen was forged by someone at some point? Despite the fact that good science is what detected that, it's also convenient to flush it all down the toilet. There!
Then because education makes a huge difference, they also attack it. Just like more recently they're putting it all in their favorite "woke" straw man basket, to also justify bigotry.
“So first we disprove their little liberal evolution theory on the basis of unsatisfactory evidence,”
That’s not a disproof. That’s just you rejecting evidence because you don’t like the conclusion. Not QUITE the same as showing an error in the methodology or that fraud was involved.
“and suddenly POOF, they have more fossils which just happen to perfectly fit into the huge holes in their theories.”
Feel free to find any sign of fraud in the theory being validated as factual…
“You have to be pretty naive for fall for such a simpleminded trick!”
Hmmm. Reality knocks on your door. You’re under your bed, head in a football helmet,screaming, “I’m TOO SOPHISTICATED for that!”
“You choose to mock God”
No, I mock a superstitious belief that you cherish over reality.
“ but yet you have no problem believing in such idiotic monstrosities as diplodocus or stegosaurus or archeopterix.”
Which have withstood rather a LOT of scrutiny. Feel free to show any fraud…
“I mean, come on! If you're going to fool people, at least TRY to be convincing.”
Well, about 95% of all scientists are convinced.
“Evolution theory is simply laughable.”
Hebephrenia is treatable.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
