Default Tampered Fossil Record

I heard an interesting bit on a fundy radio station to do with a book entitled "burried alive". In it the author goes on to say that he went and studied fossils of early human ancestors at various museums. While doing this he noticed that it seemed like the paleantologists responsible for putting together the pieces had tampered with it in order ot make it seem more "apelike". He goes on to say how he hears the scientists saying how stupid the masses are and how easy it is to deceive them. To be quite honest I couldnt beleive that they actually expect people to buy in to some elborate plot that scientists have in order to deceive the masses and helping them on the way to hell. Has anyone here ever heard of tampering before. Like moving the jawbone of the fossil a little out of whack to make it look a certain way etc..

Sounds about as likely as the accussation that people at one of the American museums, the Smithsonian perhaps, Killed people to obtain their skeletons, all very Burke and Hare.

It was in this thread about Kent Hovind

Apart from the Piltdown fraud of yore, I've not heard of any such.

There is no conspiricy among paolentologists to defraud the public. Mistakes are made, of course, but they are corrected. By paolentologists, not creationists nor radio motor-mouths.

And, as it was on fundie radio, well. 'nuff said.
