like what?
The overwhelming number of authentic homonid fossils that point to our evolution from a common ancestor with apes. Take away Nebraska man, Piltdown man, etc. and you are still left with numerous fossils that can't be ignored. Well, can't be ignored unless you are a creationist bent on ignoring evidence.

"numerous fossiles wich cannot be ignored" mind nameing some?
Sahelanthropus tchadensis
Ardipithecus ramidus
Australopithecus anamensis
Australopithecus afarensis
Kenyanthropus platyops
Australopithecus africanus
Australopithecus garhi
Australopithecus aethiopicus
Australopithecus robustus Australopithecus boisei
Homo habilis
Homo georgicus
Homo erectus
Homo ergaster
Homo antecessor
Homo heidelbergensis
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo sapiens
You can find there descriptions and links to pictures of the actual fossils here. You can also look here some of the fossils within a timeline.
Also, here is a diagram of the brain case size for some of the above listed species:

As you can see, there is a steady rise in brain size among the hominid fossils. Some of the fossils, which some creationists insist are human, fall well outside the brain size of living human beings.

and no i am not bent on ignoring evidence, so far it seems to me most evolutionist r bent on ignoreing the truth.
Then you wouldn't mind going through the list of fossils above and tell me how they fit into the Genesis account? What am I missing, what evidence am I ignoring? I have a set of skulls that start out looking ape-like and progressively become more human like. The ages of the more human like fossils are younger than the ages of the more ape like skulls. Both the ages of the fossils and their composition are supported by solid science, unlike the hoaxes and misrepresentations associated with Nebraska man and other fossils that are not part of the collection that I have listed. The above collection are the fossils that creationists ignore, or try to explain away with pseudoscientific logic.
