Time for a Bonfire for Anthropology Textbooks -- MAN AS OLD AS COAL

The theory of the evolution of man is the greatest conspiracy
against truth in the history of science, quite likely in the history
of the world.

~~ MAN AS OLD AS COAL ~~

Evolution May Crumble in the Wake of Startling New Evidence


================================================== =

ALL SPECIMENS FOUND BETWEEN
PENNSYLVANIA'S ANTHRACITE VEINS

(Strata geologically dated at a minimum of 280 million years)

These are just some of the specimens of petrified bones, teeth
and/or soft organs -- some human -- that were discovered between
two anthracite veins in Northeastern Pennsylvania over the past two
decades.

The Scientific Establishment has long contended that neither man nor
any large land animal existed back in the Carboniferous Period -- 280
million years ago.

But here's the evidence that disproves many of its theories, including
the evolution of man mulit-millions later.

================================================== ==
================================================== ==

The following specimen was identified as a petrified human calvarium,
a skull with the eyesockets broken off, by the late Wilton Krogman,
one of the world's foremost human anatomists and the author
of "The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine."

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/krogwskull.jpg

Moments after this photo was taken of Krogman holding the specimen,
an associate -- a medical doctor -- walked into his office at the
Cooper Clinic in Lancaster, Pa., and he encouraged him to see
the oldest human skull ever found."

Two other photos of the specimen:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/MVC-007S.JPG

A CATscan revealed a second protrusion not visible to the naked
eye and it is located precisely where it would be expected to be
found in a human cranium.

That report follows:

This specimen also tested positive for the presence of Haversian
canals under microscopic scrutiny.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories in Chantilly, Va.,
performed esting of calculus analysis by crystallography on it and
found "a composition of dried blood intermingled with a few small
crystals resembling calcium oxalate dihydrate."

The laboratory's official report follows:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-012S.JPG

=============================================

Another petrified human skull was found a year later embedded in
a boulder weighing an estimated 3,000 pounds.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skulla.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/skullb.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/other1.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z2_2.jpg

The Smithsonian was sent a photograph and Raymond Rye, musem
specialist, replied in writing: "The object ... does resemble the outline
of a human skull ... We must do a microscopic study of the outer
rind to determine if it has the structure of bone."

The Smithsonian was sent granules, then replied: "X-ray analysis
of the material reveals it to be quartz, the most abundatnt material
of the earth's crust. So, although the enigmatic object exposed
in the boulder may resemble a hominid skull, its mineral compostion
is definitely not that of bone."

The fact is, "x-ray analysis" is NOTan appropriate test to identify
the presence or absence of cellular structure (tiny circles known
as Haversian canals).

Later, a microcopic photo of granules removed from the specimen
revealed the presence of Haversian canals.

Here's one of those microscopic photos of the cell structu

================================================= ===

This is a petrified human femur still in shale, a near-cousin to coal,
that also was unearthed from between anthracite veins. Portions of
the bulb ends have broken off.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z6femur.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/z7femur.jpg

Since a femur measures approximately one-fourth of a human being's
height, it belonged to someone at last 7-1/2 foot tall.

================================================= ====

This specimen was identified as a portion of a tibia by Krogman and
was subjected to one of the greatest cover-ups in the history of
science.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/newtibia.jpg

Andrew Macrae, then of Calgary University, performed fraudulent
testing when entrusted to examine its cellular structure and publish
the microscopic photos on his web page. He instead posted microscopic
photos of a rock or a concretion.

Macrae undoubtedly was advised and assisted by Paul Myers, then
of Temple University in Philadelphia and now at the University of
Minnesota.

When charged with participating in the scam, Myers adamantly denied
it. Then, when I suggested officials of Temple University check on
their long-distance telephone calls during the time that Macrae was
"testing" the specimen in the summer of 1996, Myers suddenly admitted
in the talk.origins news group that he had made many phone calls
to Calgary University around that time, on other business.

It didn't end there. Myers later admitted in talk.origins that he had
actually FLOWN to Calgary one weekend during that time period and had spent
time at the university. He said he didn't even have a chance to say hello
to Macrae, claiming he was there on other business.

Here are two additional photos of the portion of the petrified tibia,
known as EC96-001 for Macrae's fraudulent testing purposes.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib2.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossil/z15tib1.jpg

In addition, a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) was used
to examine the interior surface features of this specimen to compare
it with cadaver bone at the same power magnification. These are
the photos at 2,000-times magnification..

http://www.edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/bones.jpg

(They would look incredibly similiar if the grains were lying in
exactly the same direction.)

The photo on the left in the following photo is what Macrae posted
on his web page, claiming it was the cell structure of EC96-001 which
Krogman had identified as a portion of a tibia. The next two photos
show its true cell structure.

http://www.edconrad.com/canals/ts_compare1.jpg
http://edconrad.com/canals/slide1.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/canals/0505160x.jpg

It was just one of several fraudulent maneuvers perpetrated by members
of the Scientifiic Establishment over the past 22 years when the first
specimen -- the large petrified skull -- was discovered in June
1981.

Additionally, American Medical Laboratories performed calculus
analysis by crystallography on EC96-001 and determined that it
"consisted predominately of dried blood and protein."

That report follows:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-006S.JPG

==============================================

Here's an assorment of miscellaneous specimens, primarily portions
of petrified mandibles (jaw bones), found between the same coal veins:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Bones/MVC-011S.JPG

==============================================

Here's a petrified human lung, also found between the coal veins.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-018S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-019S.JPG

(For comparison, check Grey's Anatomy.)

A lung is a soft organ and some say soft organs can never
petrify. Howver, it has been established conclusively that
soft organs can indeed be subjected to the petrification process.

============================================

Here's a petrified gall bladder and, incredibly, a CATscan revealed
the presence of a gall stone inside.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/z5gall.jpg

This is one of the specimens that also was tested by American
Medical Laboratories via calculus analysis by crystallography.

It revealed the specimen "consists of a few small pieces of dried
blood," adding that "none of the constituents normally found
in urinary calculi are present." (which comes as no surprise since
the specimen it tested is petrified).

That report follows:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/AML/MVC-010S.JPG

============================================
Here are a pair of petrified fetuses.The large one, which has been
transformed to a coal-like substance, measures 6 1/2 inches
in length.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-010S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-011S.JPG

Here's a portion of a dinosaur foot embedded in slate (or shale):

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-012S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-013S.JPG

It should be noted that a third "toe" was later found embedded
in the slate, part of a third "toe." A video tape exists showing
the slow removal of the slate and it being buried just beneath
the surface of the slate slab.

=============================================

This was the very first discovery of petrified bone in coal-bearing
Carboniferous strata in June 1981.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/first.jpg

It resembled a giant skull and the Smithsonian expressd an interest
in examining it personally. However, when it was taken there,
its experts dismissed it as a rock or concretion without any testing
whatsoever.

To make matters worse, none of its three of its "experts" -- an
anthropologist, a paleontologist and a geologist -- mentioned that
a microscopic study of its cell structure would accurately identify
whether it is bone.

When the three Smithsonian "experts" concurred that the specimen
was a rock or a concretion, they were asked if they would like to keep
it to break open the jawlike area and see if it contains teeth. They
laughed at the suggestion and the specimen returned to Shenandoah, Pa.

About a month later, a pair of inclusions were found inside the jaw-like
area and, when Krogman saw an enlarged photo of one of them, he
identified it as a premolar because he said ge could see "a pair of cusps."

Here's where the object was found inside the jaw area:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-014S.JPG

The photo below shows the premolar still attached, with a dime
used to indicate size.

http://edconrad.com/oldascoal/images/z1.jpg

Krogman suggested an infrared scan be performed and it was done
at American Medical Laboratories. Here's the result of the test:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/coalbones/graph.gif

The laboratory stated that its infrared scan determined that there
were "absorbances at approximately 9.8 and 12.8 micrometers,
appearing similiar to some phosphates."

Later interpretation of the scan determined that the object is
bone or tooth in origin, definitely not a rock or a concretion.

Last but not least,a microscopic study ofthe specimen's cell structure
revealed the presence of Haversian canals.

============================================

Here's a petrified handcrafted wooden handle which has been
transformed to anthracite. It also was found between the same two coal veins.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-001S.JPG

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Tool/MVC-005S.JPG

============================================

Here's a portion of petrified bone still embedded in slate,
confirming that the bone is older than the material in which it was
encased. Obviously, that material had to be fluid or near- fluid
at the time for this tohappen.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/MVC-017S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith1/MVC-018S.JPG

============================================

Here's a giant canine tooth, found between the same coal veins:

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/1tooth.jpg
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Vel1/MVC-009S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Vel1/MVC-007S.JPG

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Vel1/MVC-006S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Vel1/MVC-010S.JPG

(Please note that this giant petrified tooth was accidentally dropped
on the sidewalk in Hazleton, Pa.. The tip broke off but fits together
almost perfectly.)

These specimens and the honest testing results prove, beyond
the shadow of a doubt, that man and large land animals had existed
while coal was being formed.

This is NOT theory and rhetoric, which is what the pseudoscientists
have used to brainwash the common man. It is physical evidence,
which is what science is supposed to be all about.

================================================= =

Here's another petrified fetus, this one still embedded in slate (or
shale).

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Petrified/MVC-014S.JPG

=============================================== ==

This is a portion of a giant prehistoric scorpion that was
identified as such by Krogman.

When Krogman examined this specimen found between coal veins,
he revealed that he had performed countless disections of scorpions
in college before attaining status as one of the world's most
respected authorities on human anatomy.

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossilxx/MVC-006S.JPG

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/fossilxx/MVC-011S.JPG
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Scorpion/MVC-007S.JPG

This specimen was discovered in two pieces that fit together
perfectly.

It must be emphasized that this particular specimen was the
subject of another cover-up by members of the Scientific
Establishment -- at Penn State University.

Penn State actually batted three-for-three with its attempted
cover-ups: First, its Department of Paleontology (Roger Cuffey);
Second, its Department of Anthropology (Robert Eckardt). Third,
its Department of Entomology (Charles Pitts).

========================================

To those questioning if some of the specimens are petrified bone,
Yerkes Regional Primate Research Denter at Emory University
in Atlanta, Ga. -- which Krogman described as "the msot prestigious
nstitution of its kind in the world" --.determined that it is, indeed,
B-O-N-E.

Jeremy Dahl, one of its bone experts who examined and tested it,
even put it in writing and signed his name..

http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/YERKES1.TIF
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/YERKES2.TIF
http://www.edconrad.com/ebay/Smith/YERKES3.TIF

It should also be pointed out that Dahl had examined the specimen's
cell structure because a slice had been removed from it while in
Yerkes' possession (for microccopic study of the cell structure).

===========================================

Here are two strange specimens, almost similiar. What makes them
so intriguing is that they were found between anthracite veins some
40 miles apart-- one near Shenandoah and the other near Wilkes-Barre.

===============================================

The late, great Raymond Dart, MD., relished the opportunity to examine
some of the specimens after Kroman informed him about them.

This photo shows Dart holding what Krogman identified as a calvarium,
a human cranium with the eye sockets broken off.

Here's Raymond Dart's letter:

===========================================

28 October, 1983

Dear Mr. Conrad:

This is being written as a follow-up to our meeting here in
Philadelphia on Saturday, Oct. 15, during which I had the
opportunity to examine many of the rock-like objects you
had discovered in the coal fields of Pennsylvania, near
Shenandoah.

In my opinion, the vast majority bear the contour of bone
and may well be petrified bone.

I was particularly intrigued by one of your specimens which
I agree bears a distinct resemblance to a dainosaur head
or a homind skullcap, heavily petrified.

Based on our vast ignorance about vulconology, as regards
both anatomy and anthropology, I am of the opinion that your
findings definitely warrant intense investigation by that subject's
foremost experts, especially here in America where so many
volcanic disturbances occur even today.

Yours sincerely,
Raymond A. Dart (signed)

A horse? The Easter bunny? Then, again, it might be the head
of a petrified jackass.

And ,IF it is, it would be only appropriate.

The Scientific Establishment -- with its worldwide brood of arrogant,
self-serving tenured bureaucratic fossils -- has long been treating
John Q. Public, and his kids, like a jackass. promoting fairy tales
and molesting truth.

Over the past 22 years, it has engaged in deceit, deception, collusion
and conspiracy -- a monumental conspiracy -- and one of the
ringleaders has been the Smithsonian Institution.
