Them Dry Bones - 18 December 2020 - Plague Journal Day 281

Micah 6:8
Ezekiel 37:1-14
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

On 18 December 1912, British archeologist Charles Dawson announced the discovery of fossilized remains of an unidentified human ancestor in Piltdown, East Sussex, England, at a conference of the Geological Society of London. The discovery was thought to provide valuable clues about human evolution. Of course, in 1953 the Piltdown Man was discovered to be a hoax - with the skull consisting of the jawbones of an orangutan and the cranium of an adult human being. As always, it's important to look at what's being said and decide if we believe it. Then we need to take a step back and decide if we believe it because the evidence convinces us that it's true, or rather because we want it to  be true.
It would appear that Charles Dawson made a monkey of those scientists.

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
