"Nebraska Man" Debate

In 1922, Henry Osborn discovered a tooth in Nebraska that he said came from early human ancestors. The Illustrated London Times ran an article about the tooth with full illustrations as to how the owner of that tooth may have looked. They called the creature Nebraska Man. Later, it was discovered that the tooth was from a peccary, an extinct pig species. Creationists point to this instance as evidence of the evolutionists tendency to exagerate the truth about their fossils and discoveries. Evolutionists contend that this was an unintentionable mistake and was never taken seriously by the scientific community. Link to an evolutionists opinion of Nebraska Man: http://scienceblogs.com/laelaps/2008/02/the_truth_about_nebraska_man.php

My opinion of it all is this. What if the truth had been delayed? What if it had been 100 years before we realized the truth about this fossil? Would the scientific community have built a hypothesis around this fossil and would they have been as loyal to it as they are the theory of evolution? The answer is yes. They would have no choice. Their process requires it because it is the current and most accurate data concerning the matter. And the most current and accurate data is regarded as the truth.

That means we as a society would be building our opinion of our origins on false information. My question then is "What if we find out 100 years from now that all our deductions about the fossil record turn out to be false?" To the evolutionist I ask this "Since science continually proves itself wrong, is it logical that we at least admit the possibility that our deductions about events that happened many years ago, long before we were documenting life on this planet, could be as wrong as Nebraska Man?"
