I have read about Darwins Lie So not to be confused with any other stories.
It might even be found in an encyclopedia?
As the story goes; If I recall correctly there were two leading scientists striving to find an answer to creation.
There was also money to be funded to them by the government for their research— Something about a dead line to money funding was an issue—
Suddenly Darwin came up with a tooth— this further funded his research and the other leading scientist slipped back.
Darwin took off and here we are— based on a tooth he planted in the ground and then; discovered it.
A swine tooth— he claimed was from early man. He created an entire man from one tooth.

As opposed to creating an entire man from dirt and an entire woman from a rib?
It had to be said, even though this is a really pathetic attempt at thought. Love123, everything you just said is wrong. Everything.
You obviously dont recall correctly then.
Here is the story,
Charles Darwin was studying for the church, He was planing to be a minister.
He decided to compile a master list of all the animals that had been on the ark. He set off on a voyage of discovery to catalog all the animals in the world.
It was his chance to be rich and famous, and very well respected.
He returned from the voyage with new data that supported the idea of evolution. And with data explaining how it worked.
He remained a devout christian, but he turned his back on bible literalim.
Darwin based his theory on a swine tooth? In whose daydream?
Darwin gathered a whole bunch of evidence. We've gathered a ton more since. Darwin was very disturbed by his findings. He deliberately excluded humans from his first book, knowing he was opening up a religious can of worms due to the problems caused by denying Adam and Eve, and therefore the necessity for the redemption of Christ - Darwin was a good Christian. Only years later did he eventually suggest that evolution might apply to humans, as well.
That's ... that's ... that's so bad, it isn't even good enough to be wrong! That's a mishmash of at least three different stories, two of which are creationist lies in the first place, and NONE of them are being presented even remotely right! Even the LIES are being lied wrongly!

Darwin died 120 years ago, so, unless you refer to my old literature teacher, Jeff Darwin, I don´t know what´s your point.
Yes, I remember that story, wasn't in the same book as that story about the boy who was really crap at woodwork (called Jebus or something) so that all his pipe racks fell apart and no-one would buy his coffee tables.
Anyway he decided instead to go on the road doing magic tricks, shacked up with a prostitute, then copped it when an escapology trick he was doing for the first time went wrong.
Anyway, some of his loyal fans decided the trick hadn't got wrong and it was all part of the act, so they started spreading rumours about a comeback tour and we're still waiting today.
Sound about right?
Aren't you forgetting some details? When an apple fell on Darwin's head, that inspired him to come up with the Big Bang so that he could invent racism, which no one had ever thought of before. He recanted on his deathbed, saying that he regretted ever having become involved with Bosie.
I think that Love123 may be refering to this Chick tract with the tooth bit....
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0055/0055_01.asp
Partway down it shows "The Nebraska Man" who was "scientifically built up from one tooth, later found to be the tooth of an extinct pig."
I myself had never even heard of the Nebraska Man before reading this, but now I am forced to conclude that evolution is LIE$. OH NOESS!!!!111
"As the story goes; If I recall correctly"
Trust me, Love123... you don't. you really, really don't.
I mean, honestly.
Let's see. Okay, yeah, two scientists, Darwin and Wallace. The main reason Wallace doesn't get the credit he deserves is that after his initial work with Darwin, he got into spiritualism and went off into the weeds.
Darwin's work was primarily inspired by the work of pigeon breeders and his observations as ship's naturalist aboard the Beagle, and was based heavily on earlier work on the subject (including Lamarck, who has long since been discredited but whom Darwin, to an extent, supported).
"Nebraska Man" was a scientific mistake and has long since been rejected in favor of far better evidence, mostly from East Africa. And had nothing to do with Darwin.
Anything I'm missing?
Then Darwin sailed to the Galapagos islands, fed growth hormone to some tortoises, glued fake beaks on some finches, and drowned a few iguanas to support his claims. What a monster!
What...the hell...?

"I have read about Darwin--"
No you haven't.
"If I recall correctly--"
You can't recall what you never knew."
"--A tooth he planted and--"
Go ACTUALLY read up on it and come back. We'll all be able to tell if you're lying.
I think it's Love123's Lie, not Darwin's.
The only "encyclopedia" this drivel might be found in, is Conservapedia.
There were quite a few scientists working to find an explanation for diversity in nature (not creation, silly). Darwin simply published his works first.
If all that Darwin had was one swine tooth, his theory would have been thrown out very quickly, as soon as someone tried to replicate his research, and saw that it was a swine tooth. That's the big hurdle in science, after all; others have to be able to redo your research and reach the same result.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
