Ha, and there have never been pro-evolution hoaxes that were long touted by elolutionary scientists as breakthrough proofs of the theory? (Sorry, this is like shooting fish in a barrel... it's too easy, I HAVE to do it.)
1. Piltdown Man: An Orangutan Jaw and a Human Skull!
2. Nebraska Man: A Single Pig Tooth
3. Ota Benga: The African Native Put Into a Cage
4. Java Man: A Skullcap, Thighbone, and 2 Molar Teeth
5. Orce Man: 4-Month-Old Donkey Skull
6. Boule's Neanderthal Man: Reconstructed in 1915. Marcellin Boule wrongly arranged the foot bones so that the big toe diverged from the other toes to look like an opposing thumb. The knee joint was misplaced to give a bent-knee look. The spine was misshapen so it couldn't stand upright and the head was placed in an unbalanced position too far forward.
Boule's model of Neanderthal man was placed on display in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago for 44 years before the mistakes were discovered! After the mistakes were disclosed, they kept it on display for another 20 years until they created a new Neanderthal model. What did they do with the old inaccurate model? Instead of throwing it in the garbage can where it belonged, they moved it to the second floor of the museum and displayed a new sign, "An Alternate View of Neanderthal." But it wasn't an alternate view. It was a wrong view.

Yea, but these hoaxes were not invented by scientists and still creationism's hoax are much much more in number...and most of them are created/published by creationists
Some hoaxes were, though, like that one in England where a guy actually filed down a primate skull's teeth to flatten them so they'd look more human, then diberately attached a human jaw bone. I couldn't find that one right off, so I didn't include it in the list. But that is a deliberate fake, and there are many others I have heard about and seen on videos in school.
And you're not addressing #6 on my list -- how they refused to simply remove the hoax skeleton -- which they completely found out was a mistake -- but instead left it on display for decades! That's blatant dishonesty designed to advance the case of evolution in the public eye.
And true, Macbeth, people don't arrange these hoaxes just for the pleasure of attacking the other side, but rather for personal reasons, such as increased funding of their own research field, and even to get more personal research grants. There's a very definite reward in it for them. It's not for practical jokes.
Except while those examples have not been mentioned in Biology textbooks for decades, the creationist hoaxes and lies are still percolating throughout church groups, Kansas boards of education, and mainstream websites of these people.
Exactly
