Wrote Bill O'Brien: "There was a time when Conrad regarded the integrity of the scientific establishment as beyond reproach. But after seven years of dealing with paleontologists and archaeologists, he said he has found them to be a devious and untrustworthy bunch whose actions in relation to him have been downright dishonest and deceitful." "Conrad believes his discovery has frightened members of the archeological/ paleontological establishment out of their wits. They dread the truth, he says, because they know their cozy little clique will be gone with the eons. No longer will they be able to sup at the trough of Darwinism, enjoying soft jobs with huge salaries."

Ed Conrad has pretty much been thoroughly debunked on his claim of the skull and bone fragments by every major anthropological outlet in the nation.
Its because of his collection methods which cannot be verified, and other reasons but here is a site that pretty much takes apart his claims piece by piece.

He also claims he has proof that there is life after death because he met a guy who spoke to God and believes him. Certainly not the most logical of people out there.

There you go, "debunked" already
Hey nighthawk1954. Great thread but be prepared for it to get killed soon. You really think that even if Conrad's discovery were to be true, the establishment will allow that to be proven as genuine? You really think that this so called academics, PHD's, and so forth will risks their chairs, positions and years of research (which might be totally wrong) by accepting that humanity might be extremely older than first thought? Didn't you learn yet that science is the one and the most in need institution that needs to be REFORMED? As long as the policy is not to disrupt the paradigm, the official story is: Humans came from apes. Humans are 2-3 million of years old... Everything else is considered blasphemy. 500 years ago people who'd revolutionize human thinking were burned at the stake. Now instead of the stake they're being ridiculed, killed academically and professionally and kicked out of universities and colleges never to be let back to teach. Not much has changed anyway.
In bold above you cant even get the basics right, HUMANS did not come or evolve from apes what is actually said is that HUMANS and Apes evolved from a COMMON ANCESTOR that's why human and ape DNA are almost but not quite the same.
Aaaaand you lose all bonus points for even trying the old "They won't let him because it's true!" argument, as soon as you say people think Humans come from Apes.

His claim would seem to be based on the idea that fossils would form from all dead animals. In fact, fossil formation is the exception rather than the rule. The fact that dinosaur fossils virtually disappear above the impact layer is much stronger evidence that the impact did indeed lead to a great extinction.
So is he a loon or is he making a valid point?
