The fake transitional forms made in the China's blackmarket to please eager scientists to prove 100% evolution and cover up missing links. That is really happening and speaks very badly about Evolutionists as well. Deal with it!

Ok, now you're just grasping at straws.
Not that fundies haven't been doing that for as long as they can remember.
There are such things as fake fossilsbut recently they been coming out of Morocco and not Chinabut these so called fossils are not meant to confuse the scientific community but are dumped onto the retail market for amateur rock hounds and fossil hunters who thinks they are getting the real deal for a cheap price.
Furthermore, paleontologists are more likely to be in the field finding their own fossils and not relying on dealers to sell them fossils. Paleontologists are not just interested in the fossil itself, but need to know where it was foundthis goes a long way in dating and identifying the fossils. And finally, any paleontologist that cannot spot the difference between a fake and the real thing is not worthy of his or her degree.
Paleontologist #1: I'm up to starting another research project, but we need new fossils.
Paleontologist #2: Good timing! They're having a helluva sale on fossils at Wal-Mart.
So fundies think that:
A) There's an underground blackmarket of fossils
...How is it possible to make 4 false claims in one sentence?
Ah, this is Archaeoraptor again, isn't it? The funny thing is, once the con had been spotted it turned out to be *two* perfectly good transitional fossils (fraudulently) joined together.

Ah, thank you. I knew there was some irony hidden in Yartes' statement but couldn't remember the details.

While it is true that there have been fake fossils out of China, it is an issue, but it is one that paleontologists try to deal with, as well as correct. I do believe their was a National Geographic article about it.
That being said, even with some Chinese farmers trying to cash in on it, it does not discount the science. If they prove it wrong, which they do constantly try to do, they discount it. Scientists know to beware. It does not make evolution wrong if a scientist is trying to do good science, but is misled. Illegal trading is an issue in any field. If it is proven wrong, though, it is discounted as fraud.

Easy. They're a fundie. I've seen worse.
100% evolution
I wonder who he thinks proved the fossils were fakes, Kent Hovind?
That science has spotted, and revealed, a number of fake fossils over the years speaks rather well of it, IMHO.
I think he is referring to "faked fossils" often on sale in many places...
Ironically when it involves religious relics no one really gives a toss...
We don't see religious people torching the shroud of turin despite it being proved as a fake.
“The fake transitional forms made in the China's blackmarket to please eager scientists to prove 100% evolution and cover up missing links.”
"That is really happening”
“and speaks very badly about Evolutionists as well.”
"Deal with it!”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
