The horse series was claimed to provide this great evidence for the theory
of evolution, and was cited as evidence for the theory in the W. Post
piece.  I was wondering if you knew why evolutionists continue to tout
this as evidence, when it has been known for years (G.G. Simpson pointed
this out before, say 1950) that the series is fraudulent, and that Marsh
arranged the fossils to lead up to the modern horse, consciously ignoring
the fossil evidence.  Is the evidence for evolution really so weak as to
necessitate continuing to pull this lie over the public in the name of
science, properly called pseudoscience?[see _The Encyclopedia of
Evolution_, by Milner (spelling?), forward by Gould, entry for horse
evolution.]
